- October 31, 2016
The Saints have only let in nine goals in 13 games this term, with Fraser Forster conceding a few times in a match just once this season.

Prescott rallies Cowboys to OT win over Eagles 29-23
- October 31, 2016
Both the Eagles and Cowboys have been careful not to put too much on their rookie quarterbacks' plates.

Dez Bryant beat Leodis McKelvin for 51 yards to set up a Cowboys touchdown when Dak Prescott kept it on an option. (more...)

- October 31, 2016
