Overview
- Shough delivered a 24-17 road comeback against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday when his 1-yard quarterback sneak on fourth-and-goal produced the go-ahead score.
- He completed 27 of 34 passes for 252 yards in the game and now leads the Saints with 662 passing yards through two games after rebounding from turnovers in Week 1.
- Baltimore defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver’s pregame “poor man’s Josh Allen” comment became motivation for Shough, who said the comparison “fires me up.”
- NFL instant‑replay vice president Mark Butterworth said the review could not show clear and obvious evidence that the ball did not break the plane, so the touchdown was upheld.
- The win comes as the Saints cope with an injury to starting tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., who is believed to have a high‑ankle sprain expected to sideline him four to six weeks and could push New Orleans to adjust its protection and roster plans.
