Watch: Saints sharp early in showdown with Cowboys

Quarterback Derek Carr was sharp, going 3-of-3 for 65 yards (21.7 yards per attempt). His highlight came on a 39-yarder on a deep crossing route from Chris Olave, setting the Saints up at the Cowboys' 5-yard line.

Carr also had a 17-yard completion to wideout Rashid Shaheed on a third-and-2, who led New Orleans with three touches on its opening possession.

Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak continues to be a dream fit for New Orleans. Four Saints offensive skill-position players contributed on the drive, including do-it-all player Taysom Hill.

As ESPN's Mina Kimes noted, New Orleans' use of play action wrecked Dallas. The Saints used much more motion and play action in their Week 1 win over the Panthers than they used last season, and that trend has continued into Week 2.

The Saints also used play action on their next series, a one-play, 70-yard drive that saw Carr go deep to Shaheed for a touchdown.

The Saints dominated the Panthers, 47-10, in Week 1, and the offense isn't slowing down against a much tougher Cowboys defense.
