Saints 12, Dallas 10 drops the Cowboys to 3-1 on the season ... but their confidence, based on what players told us in the locker room, is not shaken.
From Jason Witten: "I feel good about where we're at. That (New Orleans) is a good football team. I think this team is gonna be a really good team ...The teams that play in January, they're the ones that continue to get better and learn from it. There's still a lot of confidence and belief in this team."
From Dak Prescott: “We got a great team. There’s no confidence lost with this loss, I can promise you that.”
And from Sean Lee in a 1-on-1 with CowboysSI.com: "We just lost to a good team, a good program. The Saints know how to win. But so do we. We're a consistently good team, too. A good program. And we'll get better from this.''
