A new viral video shows a New Orleans Saints fan performing a rare case of friendly and heartwarming trash talk to Dallas Cowboys supporters during the team’s shocking 44-19 blowout loss at home on Sunday.
The New Orleans Saints came into AT&T Stadium and handed the Cowboys a humiliating 25-point defeat. The victory for New Orleans also marked the end of Dallas’ impressive streak of 16 consecutive regular-season home wins.
X/Twitter user @peyroll shared a hilarious video of a Saints fan using humor to trash talk the stunned and frustrated Dallas fans around him. The fan passionately tells Dallas fans, “Next time it might be your day, but today, it’s not.”
The New Orleans Saints fan then offers his gratitude to the Dallas fans for their “hospitality”, even leading to laughs and smiles from other folks in his section:

Now, is that so difficult? Why can’t fans who cheer for opposing teams at live events just engage in friendly trash talk like that instead of uttering expletives and getting into physical fights?
New Orleans Saints fans packed the outside of AT&T Stadium and threw a celebratory parade after the victory, adding more salt into the wounds for the Cowboys:

It was indeed a letdown of a loss for the Cowboys, who made a statement a week earlier by soundly defeating a quality Cleveland Browns team on the road. It simply was not the home opener that Cowboys fans expected nor envisioned.
The Cowboys welcome Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens to AT&T Stadium in Week 3 on Sunday, while the Saints will try and improve to 3-0 when they host Jalen Hurts’ Philadelphia Eagles.
New Orleans Saints Look Like Bonafide Contenders
Since Drew Brees’ retirement in 2021, the Saints have relied on a good defense, a stout o-line and the likes of Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave to win games. The only thing holding them back was a good quarterback, and Derek Carr is suddenly providing that with new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
The Saints aren’t going to average 40-plus points a game, but they’ll unquestionably contend for the Super Bowl if Carr can continue to provide above-average QB play.
