Saints players told NFL Network‘s Steve Wyche that they studied college footage of Cowboys Offensive Coordinator, Kellen Moore when he was a quarterback at Boise State and they found many similarities between the hand signals Moore used then and now. Apparently, the discovery helped the Saints limit the Cowboys to just 10-points on offense.
“And they saw some of the hand gestures, and some of the things that (Moore) liked to do at Boise that he’s incorporated into the Cowboys’ offense,” Steve Wyche said. “And they were able to pick up some tendencies from that.”
