ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys gave the New Orleans Saints a warm welcome in their home opener, becoming only the fifth team since 2000 to allow their opponent to score touchdowns on each of their first six drives in a deflating 44-19 defeat.
Saints running back Alvin Kamara ripped Dallas’ defense to pieces with 115 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries, a 5.8 yards per carry average, and 65 receiving yards on two catches, 57 of which came on the catch-and run score. On that play, he was untouched all the way into the end zone. Kamara totaled 180 yards from scrimmage to go along with the four scores, which now ranks as the most scrimmage touchdowns ever in a Saints road game.
