Saints-Cowboys: Cowboys Win Leaves Colts as Last Undefeated

All season there has been talk about an unprecedented two teams going undefeated.  

Last night, all that talk was put to rest as the Saints lost to Dallas 24-17 in the Super Dome.  

DeMarcus Ware was pretty banged up coming into the game.  

It didn't show.  

Ware showed up with two sacks and two forced fumbles, leading the Cowboys defense to a win.  

Miles Austin showed up, cementing himself as one of the league's better receivers with 139 yards and a TD.  

Romo threw for 312 yards and a TD as well.  

This game leaves the Colts as the only undefeated team left in the NFL right now, as Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne try to lead the Colts to something the Patriots couldn't quite accomplish: going 19-0.  

After reading an article posted yesterday on Bleacher Report, I realize that neither the Saints nor the Colts are nearly as good as the Patriots were in 2007.  The Pats beat up on every team they played, minus the close game against Baltimore and the two games against the Giants (Superbowl and regular season included).  

As for the Cowboys, they finally put an end to their December woes in a big way.  Said Tony Romo, "It was a big game for us to win, obviously, given the position that we are in. We had a great week of practice and fought hard out there."

Romo is beyond right, because while the Cowboys do control that second wild card spot, they were just one game ahead of the Giants.  Now, at least in my mind, they only need to win one more to virtually clinch the spot.  The Giants' last game is against the Vikings, so I'd be pretty surprised if they won out.  If the Giants lose at all, the best record they could come up with is 9-7.  

The Cowboys, with one more win, would have 10-6 as the worst possible record.  The Cowboys are finally putting themselves in a good position, one where the only way they could screw this up is if they do bad.  

And I mean really, really bad.  Worse than in previous Decembers.  

And for the record, I hate the Cowboys but even I think they're not bad enough to screw this up.
