Stamford, Conn. - November 6, 2013 - Tony Romo and the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys (5-4) travel to New Orleans, La., to take on Drew Brees and the NFC South-leading Saints (6-2) on NBC's Sunday Night Football. Coverage begins with Football Night In America at 7 p.m. ET on NBC.

All signs point to an offensive showdown between two of the league's top quarterbacks. Drew Brees (21) and Tony Romo (20) rank second and third, respectively, in touchdown passes this season. The Saints look to rebound from a difficult 26-20 loss last Sunday against the Jets, while the Cowboys are coming off a narrow victory over the Vikings. On the sidelines, Saints' defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will face his former team.

Calling Cowboys-Saints is seven-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his 28th season as the voice of the NFL's premier primetime package; 14-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth, who has won the Emmy for Outstanding Event Analyst in each of his four seasons in the Sunday Night Football booth; and Emmy Award-winning sideline reporter Michele Tafoya.

NBC's coverage of Sunday Night Football is led by Emmy Award-winning coordinating producer Fred Gaudelli and Emmy Award-winning director Drew Esocoff. Sunday Night Football has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Sports Series for five consecutive years.

Football Night In America, the most-watched pre-game show in sports, is hosted by 25-time Emmy Award-winner Bob Costas, who will report from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, La. Costas will be joined on-site by Michaels, Collinsworth and two-time Super Bowl winner Hines Ward.

Dan Patrick co-hosts Football Night from NBC's famed Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Patrick will be joined by Super Bowl-winning head coach Tony Dungy, two-time Super Bowl winner Rodney Harrison, Peter King of Sports Illustrated, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk on NBCSN and NBCSports.com, and longtime NFL front office veteran and former NFL Executive of the Year Scott Pioli. Alex Flanagan will report from Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, Calif. on the Broncos-Chargers game.

COWBOYS-SAINTS PREVIEW

Cris Collinsworth on Cowboys-Saints, from NBC Sports Radio:

"You've got Drew Brees, Tony Romo, some great receiving threats in Jimmy Graham and Dez Bryant - this could be one of those games that is a show. When New Orleans is in that building down there, it's tough to stop them."

FNIA Coach's Clicker, NBCSN's weekly half-hour NFL studio show that dovetails off of Football Night in America, will provide an in-depth Xs-and-Os preview of the biggest games coming up in Week 10 of the season.

In addition, Dungy and Harrison will look ahead to Lions-Bears, Broncos-Chargers, Bengals-Ravens, Panthers-49ers, and Seahawks-Falcons.

Leading up to the Cowboys-Saints matchup on Sunday Night Football, FNIA Coach's Clicker examines New Orleans TE Jimmy Graham's versatility in the passing game, and what makes Dallas WR Dez Bryant a dominant force against opposing defenses. In addition, the episode will compare Panthers QB Cam Newton and 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick, and examine what has led to the Ravens offensive struggles this season.

NFL Turning Point, hosted by Football Night In America's Dan Patrick, will look back at Week 9 in the NFL and focus on the crucial "turning point" moments that ultimately defined the outcome of some of the week's most watched contests.

This week's episode of NFL Turning Point breaks down the Vikings-Cowboys game, including Dallas QB Tony Romo's game-winning drive in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The segment is highlighted by in-game audio from Romo, who was wired during the game. The episode also reviews the strong play of Minnesota RB Adrian Peterson, and how he led the Vikings' comeback charge in the third quarter.

The program reviews Sunday's Chargers-Redskins matchup, and analyzes Washington's goal-line stand at the end of regulation, which stopped San Diego three times at the one-yard line to force a field goal and overtime.

NFL Turning Point will include two spotlight features. The first features in-game audio from New England head coach Bill Belichick, who was wired for the Steelers-Patriots game. The second studies the Saints-Jets game, and how Jets head coach Rex Ryan led New York past his brother, Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, at MetLife Stadium.
