Last week, both the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints started backup quarterbacks but when the two meet under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football in Week 4, only one of them will be going with a reserve. That's because Drew Brees is sufficiently healed from his rotator cuff injury and is expected to play, and you can watch him try and lead the Saints to their first win online via NBC Sports here.

The Saints will have Drew Brees while the Cowboys will start Brandon Weeden on Sunday.
Dallas won't have Tony Romo back for some time, which means Brandon Weeden will be starting again on Sunday. Neither Weeden nor Brees' Week 3 replacement, Luke McCown, performed egregiously bad in their first starts of the season.
Weeden completed 22 of 26 passes for 232 yards with no touchdowns and an interception, while McCown completed 31 of 38 passes for 310 yards, no touchdowns and an interception of his own. Neither performance was anything special, and neither quarterback found the end zone, which led to both teams suffering losses. The Cowboys fell to the Atlanta Falcons and the Saints lost to the Carolina Panthers.
Now 0-3, the Saints are in danger of falling too far behind in the NFC South to really compete this year. The division had a 7-8-1 winner last season, but both the Panthers and Falcons went into Sunday with 3-0 records. The Cowboys are 2-1, playing in an NFC East that looks completely up for grabs. Either team can do themselves a big favor by winning on Sunday, though it’s the Romo-less Cowboys that seem more likely to make a postseason run this year.
