This past weekend, the New Orleans Saints showed they are dangerous even without Drew Brees, as Teddy Bridgewater led the team to a 33-27 win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Brees will likely be sidelined until November, so the Saints are going to have to manage without him until then, and this Sunday, New Orleans will face a pretty stiff test, as it will host the undefeated Dallas Cowboys.

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is ready for the Saints, but he knows they will be a challenge.

“We're excited to go out there and compete every week, go out there and get better,” said Elliott, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. “But we know we have a big test this Sunday and we got to be clicking on all cylinders to go out there and get this win.”

As for whether or not Dallas has any extra motivation for this game? Elliott says no.

“I don't think we need any extra juice,” he said.

Elliott, who held out for the entire offseason and did not agree to a new deal with the Cowboys until the week leading up to the season opener, has not missed a beat, as he has racked up 289 yards and a couple of touchdowns while averaging 5.3 yards per carry over his first three games.

Most recently, the 24-year-old punctured the Miami Dolphins for 125 rushing yards on 19 attempts.

The Cowboys are looking to improve to 4-0 as they continue their quest to win a second straight NFC East division title. Meanwhile, the Saints are looking to get to 3-1 and maintain their hold on first place in the NFC South.
