During this week’s Thursday Night game, the Dallas Cowboys defense absolutely locked down the Saints high-powered offense and only allowed 10 points from one of the highest scoring teams in the league.
After the game, Saints fans believe the Cowboys cheated after spotting a staffer standing on the Saints sideline holding a cellphone which is illegal in the NFL.

Riddle me this Baldy. The L meant less to the Saints than the W to Dallas.🤷🏾♂️So what is the cell phone for when you have a headset and mic? Not to mention why is he behind Payton?🤨 pic.twitter.com/jGGMlDUaek

What in the hell is a man in Cowboys’ gear, with a cell phone and a headset, doing on the Saints’ sideline behind their head coach? @NFL @Saints @nflnetwork #SaintsCowboys pic.twitter.com/aTeOMjvxlm

The Cowboys have finally addressed the situation and said that the mystery man is part of the stadium’s entertainment crew.
“It’s a member of the game day entertainment staff. He stands next to the ‘green hat’ who is the network TV person who works with the officials to coordinate TV timeouts. His job is to communicate to our internal video board people when a TV time out is coming and how much time is left in that timeout as they come out of a break. He does not stand in the team bench area. They stand just outside the bench area on that side of the field.”
Hopefully that clears things up for Saints fans.
