Saints Bench Spencer Rattler, Turn to Rookie Tyler Shough in 23-3 Loss

Head coach Kellen Moore declined to name a starter, saying the staff will review the offense over the next 48 hours.

Overview

  • New Orleans pulled Rattler late in the third quarter while trailing 17-3 to the Buccaneers at the Caesars Superdome.
  • Rattler went 15-of-21 for 136 yards with a pick-six and an earlier fumble as the Saints’ turnover woes persisted.
  • Second-round rookie Tyler Shough logged his first extended action, finishing 17-of-30 for 128 yards with one interception.
  • One of Shough’s early throws became a turnover when Antoine Winfield ripped the ball from Chris Olave for an interception.
  • The defeat dropped the Saints to 1-7 as Moore framed the switch as a broader offensive evaluation rather than a judgment on one player.
