Two likely playoff teams battled in a game that didn’t really look like a duel between contenders. The Dallas Cowboys pulled off the upset Thursday, snapping the New Orleans Saints ’ 10-game winning streak with a 13-10 win. Dak Prescott completed 24 of 28 passes for 248 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. He and Ezekiel Elliott combined for 98 rushing yards.

He was a frontrunner for MVP, but after struggling as much as he did against the Cowboys, his case for the award took a serious hit. Brees finished 18 of 28 passing for 127 yards with one touchdown and one interception. His 71.6 passer rating is the lowest he’s had in a game since 2016. He opened a game with four consecutive incompletions for the first time in his 18-season career.
