DeMarcus Lawrence may have just given the New Orleans Saints some bulletin board material.
The Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman is pumped for his team's matchup against the Saints this Sunday, and he went as far to kind of guarantee a win this week:
“Go to New Orleans and hear the whole crowd talk about some ‘Who Dat' or whatever,” Lawrence said, according to David Moore of The Dallas Morning News. “It's a great opportunity to show them ‘We Dat.”'
Lawrence then made his proclamation that the Cowboys would take care of business:
“To be honest, bro, I don't know who is 3-0,” Lawrence said. “I don't know who is winning. I don't know none of that. All I know is we've got a job to do and damn, well, we're going to do our job. Period.”
Of course, this matchup is not as sparkling as it appeared to be when the NFL schedule was first released, as New Orleans will be without Drew Brees, who is recovering from a thumb injury.
But the Saints showed last week that they can still win without Brees, as Teddy Bridgewater led them to a pivotal 33-27 road victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
While Dallas may be off to a 3-0 start, it has not exactly had the toughest schedule, as the combined record of the three opponents it has beaten is just 1-8.
Regardless, this is a Cowboys team that won the NFC East and a playoff game last year, so they are almost certainly for real.
We'll get to see just how good both teams are when they face off at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday night.
