Watch Live Cowboys vs Saints 2009

With Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings sitting on their heels at 11-2, Cowboys vs Saints is still an important game for New Orleans. This is unlike the Colts, who have everything sewn up, but will continue to play their regulars as long as the unbeaten streak is on the line.

Even before the Cowboys game, that question had become a subject of debate among teammates. The Saints, of all franchises, should not allow winning, of all things, to become a distraction. The one-game-at-a-time approach has worked perfectly, but Payton should announce whether he intends to go for an undefeated season.
