Injury-plagued teams Dallas Cowboys (2-1) and New Orleans Saints (0-3) is set to clash for a 2015 NFL season Week 4 game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday, October 4.
The Cowboys lost their first game of the season last week to the surprising Atlanta Falcons, 39-28, as they continue to miss the services of their top players quarterback Tony Romo, wide receiver Dez Bryant, and tight end Jason Witten, as per Fansided.
Dallas' defensive team also has a lot of setbacks with Jeremy Mincey, Ryan Russell, Randy Gregory, Brandon Carr, and Kyle Wilber all out with various injuries.
Jason Garrett will have to make do with what is available and he will rely on backup quarterback Brandon Weeden to continue to lead them while Romo is sidelined.
Meanwhile, the Saints are also without their starting signal caller, Drew Brees, who is still nursing a bruised rotator cuff. Starting wide receiver Brandin Cooks is also out, as well as defensive team members Dannell Ellerbe, Keenan Lewis, and Jairus Byrd,
New Orleans was defeated by the Panthers, 27-22, in their Week 3 game as they are yet to find their first win in the season, via Bleacher Report.
Prediction: Cowboys win, 21-17.
