IRVING The Dallas Cowboys had a special ending to a special victory Sunday night against the New Orleans Saints.

The Cowboys paid homage to Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry at the end of their 38 17 victory against the Saints.
Lined up in the victory formation the Cowboys offensive linemen and tight ends at the line of scrimmage simultaneously rose quickly before putting their hands on the ground just like Dallas did for years in securing wins under Landry.
The Cowboys did the Landry Shift on the first of quarterback Tony Romo s three kneel downs Sunday. Dallas didn t do it in securing its Week 3 win at St. Louis.
That s one of the signature things of the Coach Landry teams was the offensive line coming to the line of scrimmage and doing that when Roger Staubach said Shift and the backs would shift behind him Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Monday. That s an image we all have. It s an iconic image in football and every Saturday morning we do this victory formation. Somehow some way they communicated with each other to take it to the game and it was fun to see.
