The New Orleans Saints scored 47 points last week, but some downplayed that because it was the lowly Carolina Panthers they were facing at home.
But the Saints appear to be the real stars this season, as they went on the road and scored 44 points on the Dallas Cowboys for their second win of the year, 44-19.
The Cowboys moved to 1-1 after defeating the Cleveland Browns in Week 1.

Just as they did last week at home against Carolina, Derek Carr and the Saints offense made their big plays count for touchdowns, and veteran running back Alvin Kamara was the recipient of one of them in what became a four-touchdown road game.
Kamara's first touchdown came on the team's first drive of the game, a five-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0, and speedy receiver Rashid Shaheed once again found a hole in the back of the defense for a deep touchdown that went 70 yards on the next drive.
But Carr wasn't done after finding the end zone on the Saints' first two drives, as he put one on Kamara's chest on a screen play and the running back found daylight.

Kamara blasted through the Dallas defense and raced into the end zone for a 57-yard catch-and-run touchdown, his second of the day.
On the next drive, the Saints went four for four, as Kamara ran in from 12 yards out to make it 28-13 after the Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb broke loose for a 65-yard score to give his team some life.
What really put this game out of reach was Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott throwing an interception, giving New Orleans the ball at the Dallas 20-yard line after Paulson Adebo returned it 47 yards. Three plays later, Carr had a quarterback sneak into the end zone for the first time this season, making the lead 35-13.

Kamara decided to make it four touchdowns on the day on the Saints' first drive of the second half, a 13-play, 70-yard march down the field that took 7:56 off the play clock.
The Cowboys were never able to recover in this game, to the point where Prescott was benched in the fourth quarter to replace his backup, Cooper Rush, to ensure there were no injuries on the off day.
Prescott finished the day 27 of 39 passing for 293 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions thrown.
Carr, meanwhile, only needed to throw the ball 16 times, but his 11 completions totaled 243 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
As for Kamara, he led the game with 115 rushing yards on 20 carries, while his two receptions totaled 65 yards. And while Shaheed led the passing game for New Orleans, Chris Olave also had four receptions for 81 yards.
