Match Preview: What’s at stake?
The Cowboys and Saints meet in the final game of the 2026 NFL preseason, so the result itself will not affect either team’s regular-season record. The bigger stakes are on the roster bubble, with both coaching staffs using the final preseason opportunity to make decisions before the 53-man roster deadline.

Dallas has already identified its backup quarterback competition as one of the main storylines, with Joe Milton and Sam Howell battling for the job behind Dak Prescott. Milton enters the finale with momentum after his performance against the Cardinals, while Howell still has an opportunity to make the competition closer.
The Cowboys’ coaching staff has described both quarterbacks as capable options, but the final preseason game gives them another chance to evaluate how each handles extended playing time.
The Saints are in a different situation at quarterback and have decided to rest most of their starters against Dallas. Head coach Kellen Moore believes the team’s three joint practices against Jacksonville, Dallas and the Rams provided enough work for the projected first unit, totaling 145 joint-practice snaps. That shifts the focus toward players competing for roster spots and depth roles.
