NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Patrick Cobbs scored on a 6-yard run Thursday and the Miami Dolphins held New Orleans without an offensive touchdown in downing the Saints 10-7.
The teams combined to punt the ball away 15 times and each side turned it over once in a lackluster exhibition season finale.
