The New Orleans Saints rode four touchdowns from running back Alvin Kamara and near-perfect passing from quarterback Derek Carr to a dominating 44-19 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

It was the Saints' second overwhelming victory to start the season as the first-team offense scored on 15 consecutive possessions before punting in the fourth quarter Sunday. New Orleans ended Dallas' 16-game home winning streak as the Cowboys dropped to 1-1.

Kamara - the team's all-time leader in touchdowns - had four Sunday, three rushing (five yards, 12 yards and seven yards) and one receiving (a beautiful 57-yard screen pass). He had 20 carries for 115 yards and two receptions for 65 yards. Kamara is the only player in Saints history to score four touchdowns in a game twice and he passed 6,000 yards rushing.

Carr completed his first passes which included a 70-yard strike to Rashid Shaheed for a touchdown and the screen pass to Kamara. He added a 1-yard quarterback sneak for a touchdown. Carr was 11 of 16 for 243 and a quarterback rating of 125.

Shaheed had four receptions for 96 yards while Chris Olave added four catches for 81. On defense, cornerback Paulson Adebo had an interception, Bryan Bresee had a strip-sack and Carl Granderson had 1.5 sacks (shared one with Chase Young). The defense also stopped two fourth-down attempts by Dallas.

Receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr., safety Tyrann Mathieu and football player Taysom Hill all left the game for the Saints. Mathieu returned to the field and made an interception in the fourth quarter, the 34th of his career.

The Saints will play host the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday at the Caesars Superdome. The Eagles (1-0) play the Atlanta Falcons on "Monday Night Football."
