at all. watch the job by this offensive line. big credit to armstead. he couldn't even walk at the end of the first half. >> al: at the 17 yard line that wasle coleman's fist catch of the night. down to the 14 goes ingram. the cowboys will take another time-out. they don't have to. le coleman making one catch. you have a guy named snead. i'm sure everybody has snead and coleman in their fantasy leagues. snead caught six tonight for 89 yards. brees trying to pull one out at the end. >> cris: jason garrett thinking i want at least, whatever, 15 seconds. some chance going back the other

way or they will run it down inside of five. take a shot for the game winner. pretty masterful by brees. no time-outs. so calmly taking them down the field with the answer. >> al: ingram able to slip a tackle in the back field. play at the 12-yard line. and dallas. going to take a time-out. >> referee: 30 seconds. >> al: third down and if you are new orleans you're almost compelled to try -- i telle you what. this is the dangerous thing f. you run this play and it's 4th down you can't spike it. you have to get the field goal unit out there.

>> cris: no way. you have to kick it at this point. >> al: 1,000% at this point you have to kick it though dallas will have time left on the clock. they would like to milk it to zero but they can't. >> cris: jason garrett had time-outs remaining and he'll at least have the opportunity here. >> al: a 30-yard attempt. drescher the snapper. mccown the holder. hocker the kicker. dallas has an extra point block. kicked. hits the upright. no good. it hits the upright. >> cris: can't return it. >> al: you can't return it. the play is dead. the play is dead. it hit the upright. that's the end of that play with 12 seconds. 30-yard field goal.

no good. >> cris: that hit the upright like a pete rose single. dead solid. i thought it might kick over just enough. it was on the inside edge. that ruined the party in new orleans. >> al: at least for the moment. we'll wind up going to overtime. crazy stuff. san diego today. tie game. ended the game. missed a field goal. cleveland was off side. le second chance. win it. >> cris: they say there is no way to practice for the pressure of making a three-foot putt to win the masters. no way to practice for the pressure of a game-winning field goal. some people can deliver. some can't. >> al: we go to overtime. we veal a coin flip. we'lle see who wins the toss and who gets it.

each team has the opportunity to have the ball once unless the team receiving scores a touchdown. or the defense wiepds up with a touchdown or safety f. the teams are tied after one possession each the next score wins the game. the game can end in a tie after 15 minutes. two time-outs. all reviews from the booth. no challenges. a field goal on the first possession would extend the game. touch of a first possession would end the game. if you don't score at all on the first possession. >> referee: each team will have the opportunity to possess the ball unless the team first possessing scores a touchdown or there is a safety. we'll use fourth quarter timing rules. two time-outs for each team. reviews from upstairs. the field is heads. the rib bob is tails. tols, your option.

>> tails. >> referee: the call is tails. it is heads. new orleans. you will receive. you will kick this way. new orleans, turn around. good luck. >> al: instead of the game end ing with a field goal it ends with a doink as coach madden likes to say. we go to overtime. back after these messages.

>> al: to overtime we go. cowboys trying to stay on top in new orleans trying to stay alive with carolina and atlanta at 4-0.

trying to get there. the saints will get the ball. they will get the ball at the 20 yard line. brees led the masterful drive. 279 yards tonight for them. one touchdown pass. 8-9 in extra session games for number 9. >> cris: aren't many guys you would rather have in the huddle. he's out there playing with the injured shoulder. man, did he fly down the field with no time-outs in the last drive. if he can get a touchdown for this, it is over. >> al: start with robinson. in the back field with brees. down to the 20. four-man rush. trapped. robinson can't hold on.

sec down and ten. >> cris: there are some big time pick plays going on now. that time, i think it was gachkar got taken to his feet. >> al: to the sidelines limping. it's crazy what's going on. keith schmidt, seldom used linebacker, 56 is in the game. it is caught on the run. and out in front is spiller. he's going all the way to end the game. an 80-yard touchdown pass. wilson was covering on the play. what a way for drew brees to come up with touchdown pass

number 400. >> cris: you can see the confusion here. damien wilson, the young rookie got lost. he's out there. you don't have sean lee or the leadership. he just got lost. he didn't realizele spiller was his man and he goes right by him. church on the back end had the opportunity to get him on the ground. he failed. the saints win it. >> al: we talk about do or die. they do in a heart breaking loss to the cowboys. 26-20 is the final score in overtime. with the volkswagen post game report next. so i need to collect your phones so you can't post pictures.

somebody was going to leave the superdome with a heart-breaking defeat. that's the dallas cowboys. the saints may not have revooied the season but it didn't tie tonight. they win in overtime 26-20. just about everybody in new orleans is a drew brees fan. how much do you think zach hocker is thanking tre ining dr right now? he could have been the goat. instead brees gets them the game winning touchdown. the players of the game are drew brees and c.j. spiller. they each get to speak with michele tafoya. >> michele: i just saw you run up to c.j. spiller and say, i knew you could do it. what was going through your mind as he ran down the field on your 400th touchdown pass? >> i knew nobody would catch him. it was only a matter of time before he made toyota the end zone before anybody else. it was a great effort on his part. our team just responded after

missing the field goal. just knowing they could take care of business again. believe in one another. we need ed the fist win bad. no better way than on sunday night football against the cowboys. in the manner in which we did it. it would make uts a stronger team. we got better today. >> you said we are working our tail off to get our season going. it is just one win. how does it get your season going? >> we had to earn it on both sides of the ball. all the way around. these wins strengthen you. they bring you together. help build confidence. we have had tough losses. probably been on the other side of these games. it's about time we pulled it together, got a win. hopefully this results in many more. >> michele: i don't know how much you will tell me about this. how did the shoulder hold up? how are you feeling? >> it felt fine. felt good enough. got the job done. we're all good.

>> michele: congratulations, drew. >> thank you. >> michele: let's go to the man of the hour, c.j. spiller. you made the catch. what did you see ahead? >> nothing but green grass. i thank god. i stayed with it. i told the guys there would be ups and downs throughout the game. had to put the good plays and the bad plays behind you, focus on the one play. me and drew talked about catching them in a certain look. congratulations to him. that was the 40 09 touchdown pass. a tremendous leader, tremendous person. i love him to death. >> michele: you're in the history books now as the guy who caught his 400th. how would you describe what it does for the aem's psyche? >> it boosts our confidence. we came in fighting.

able to get rewards by getting the win. >> michele: congratulations. >> thank you. >> bob: last play of the game. last play of overtime. brees to c.j. spiller. second t.d. pass of the game for brees. 400 for his career. he and tom brady reached the milestone this year. dan marino was the first to get there. held the record. now peyton manning at 5:36 and counting at the top of the list. tony, are you more optimistic about the saints or does this change your opinion about dallas? saints fans have to be happy drew brees is back. looks like he wasn't. on the other side. haven't been able to hold it in the second half. i'm not sure how they win without tony romo.

now the defense is not strong enough to hang onto the lead. maybe getting some of the defensive players back. getting greg hardy can help them generate pass rush. really disappointed in the defense. not being able to hold the leads. >> bob: now to mike florio. you had a lot of info earlier on philbin's status with miami. anything new? >> mike: the owner is expected to decide by monday. there isn't an obvious candidate to take over for the final 12 games. working against philbin, stephen ross is committed to convincing key players on the roster that the owner will make changes to improve things in miami. meanwhile, in indianapolis, colts coach chuck pagano is believed to be on the hot seat. andrew luck missed the first game of his career.
