In a defense-dominated game, the Dallas Cowboys (8–4) made four interceptions to hold off the New Orleans Saints (5–7) for a much-needed win on Thursday night 27–17.

Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy, offensive line coach Joe Philbin, assistant offensive line coach Jeff Blasko, right tackle Terence Steele, and rookie cornerback Nahshon Wright, all missed the game for testing positive for COVID-19.
