There are parallels but pretty different scenarios in these games.

Saints-Cowboys was the Saints 3rd game in 11 days with the last on the road. While people want to claim they had a full week to prepare, that doesn’t fix the drain that type of schedule puts on players.

The Rams came off a bye and road game in Detroit where they looked mediocre but won. Then went on the road. It’s not the same thing.

Dallas defense is good but their style of defense is entirely dependent on the officials swallowing their whistles on holding, PI and illegal contact. Their DB coach was DB coach for the Legion of Boom in seattle. There is a reason it looks so similar and why again today they got away with a ton against Philly but once Philly adjusted they burned them.

Dallas barely beat a Philly team that is in their 4th string DBs at this point at at home.

Chicago lost to the Giants.

Consistency is not their strengths. Both the Rams and Saints will be better if rematches happen in the playoffs versus those two, especially at home.

Bears did the exact same thing, all against divisional opponents, and won all 3, including a road game while starting terrible chase daniel at qb, following an 88 hr turnaround.
