"Here are WDSU\u2019s Players of the Game from New Orleans\u2019 49-17 domination of Dallas Sunday night.QB Drew BreesThere\u2019s not much you can say about No. 9 that hasn\u2019t already been said. The QB completed a stunning 83 percent of his passes for four touchdowns and 392 yards. He found four different receivers on his touchdown passes. Brees spearheaded one of the greatest offensive games in NFL history as the Saints set a league record with 40 first downs. It was just another in his long line of fantastic primetime performances.RB Mark IngramThe performance Saints fans had been waiting three years for finally came Sunday night as the first round pick rushed for a career-high 145 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. The much-maligned running back averaged better than 10 yards per carry, and you can tell how fired up he was following some of his runs (even getting a penalty once). If Ingram\u2019s career turns into anything, we\u2019ll remember this game as the starting point.RB Darren SprolesAfter muffing a punt in the first quarter, the little, speedy back came back with a vengeance and was an impossible matchup for Dallas\u2019 linebackers. The only Saint to score more than one touchdown, Sproles scored both on the ground on a nice shotgun run near the goal line and through the air on a 28-yard screen pass.WR Marques ColstonAfter catching a combined six passes for 44 yards in the last three games he played in, Colston exploded for 107 yards and a score on seven catches Sunday.WR Kenny StillsThe rookie receiver came to play too. Kenny Stills had a rather quiet outing until catching a 52-yard touchdown strike from Drew Brees early in the fourth quarter to answer Dallas\u2019 third-quarter touchdown and onside kick recovery emphatically.Saints\u2019 defenseNo one player stood out above the rest on New Orleans\u2019 defense, but they all came to play. The Saints held Dallas to just 193 total yards and nine first downs. Dallas was a goose egg on third down \u2013 0-for-9. Quite honestly, New Orleans\u2019 defense had as much to do with the Saints\u2019 record-breaking offensive performance, because he \u2018O\u2019 can\u2019t dominate to that degree if the \u2018D\u2019 isn\u2019t constantly getting the ball back to them. Holding Dallas to 20 minutes in time of possession will do that, and the demolition of the \u2018Boys had to be extra special to defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who was dismissed by Dallas this past offseason.Related content:Drew Brees, Mark Ingram lead Saints in record-setting 49-17 blowout of DallasSaints unveil Ring of Honor in SuperdomeSign up for our email newsletters to get breaking news right in your inbox.\u00A0Click here to sign up!11646738"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
