CeeDee Lamb had 122 yards from scrimmage, Tony Pollard ripped off a 58-yard touchdown run and the Dallas defense produced three interceptions in the fourth quarter of a 27-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
The Cowboys (8-4) intercepted Saints quarterback Taysom Hill four times in all — three times in the final 6:32 of the game, including defensive tackle Carlos Watkins’ pick-6 on a screen pass that made it 27-10 with 2:52 left.
The Saints (5-7) gave the dual-threat Hill his first start this season in hopes he could help New Orleans snap a four-game skid. He was effective in spurts, passing for 264 yards and two touchdowns — and running for 101 yards — while playing through an early injury to the middle finger of his throwing hand.

But Hill’s turnovers proved too much to overcome as the Saints lost a fifth straight game for the first time since 2005.
Dak Prescott passed for 238 yards and a 1-yard touchdown to Michael Gallup.
