A miscommunication between Brees and Alvin Kamara led to the game-clinching interception by Jourdan Lewis with 2:08 left and the Saints trying to march for a game-tying or winning score. It looked like an option route, and Kamara and Brees clearly weren’t on the same page. Brees had a Cowboy rusher in his face and had to unload the pass quickly, and Kamara broke his route outside and Brees’ pass fluttered into the waiting arms of a diving Lewis at the Saints’ 23-yard line. It was the kind of mix-up you rarely see from the Saints offense, which has been machine-like efficient this season. For all intents and purposes, the pick sealed the game. It was only Brees’ third interception of the season but it was his second in back-to-back games.
