Cowboys lose to Saints as quarterback competition heats up

The Dallas Cowboys concluded the preseason with a 27-24 loss to the New Orleans Saints at AT&T Stadium on August 28. The game spotlighted the quarterback competition, particularly as Sam Howell staged a late comeback for the Saints, intensifying discussions around Dak Prescott's backup choice. Skip Bayless expressed skepticism towards Joe Milton III, who struggled in the finale, while favoring Howell's experience, given his 18 career NFL starts. The Cowboys face roster decisions ahead of their regular season opener against the New York Giants on September 13, as they evaluate whether to prioritize Milton's physical attributes or Howell's proven performance.
