The Dallas Cowboys (8-6) will take on the New Orleans Saints (6-8) in what surely will be a competitive matchup at Cowboy Stadium on Sunday. While the Saints have yet to be officially eliminated from the playoff picture, the club still remains a long shot to earn its fourth straight berth.

On the other hand, the Cowboys will look to continue its recent success and will be going for their fourth straight win against New Orleans. In last weekend's matchup, Dallas was able to rally back for a 27-24 win in OT versus the Pittsburgh Steelers, which moved them into a first place tie with the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants in the East. The Cowboys are now in a position to win the division by being victorious in their last two regular season games.

Owner Jerry Jones, who compared his team's momentum to that of last year's Super Bowl champion New York Giants, is confident in Dallas' chances come the postseason.

"You can legitimately look at how the Giants played last year, what they did at the end of the year and how they took it all the way. And that's not unrealistic to think that that can happen to you," he told ESPN.

Impressively, the Cowboys have come from behind in the fourth quarter in each of its last three games during the winning streak. Lights out play from quarterback Tony Romo along with the return of running back DeMarco Murray has significantly played a part in their string of success.

"You never know how you're going to handle situations when you're dealt with adversity like we had last week. Everyone handled it professionally," tight end Jason Witten said.
