Brees, Saints rally to beat Cowboys in thriller. Si.com

An interesting stat - Dallas had 7 fumbles. Thats right 7. Would have been 8 had Miles Austin's elbow hit a split second later. 5 of them bounced the Cowboys way, but thats just a sign that the defense is thinking exactly like its coordinator. They go after the ball almost instinctively.

The Saints didn't cause all those fumbles, however- one was on the illegal kick, one was Dez Bryant dropping the ball (bouncing right back to him) untouched, and one was a bad snap to Kitna. I am amazed, in any case, how few of these have been recovered by us yesterday, and all season. We've had similar bad luck with Brees' interceptions following tips/deflections/etc. Had the ball simply bounced differently, we might have beaten Cleveland.
