Overview

• Moore has declined to name a starter after Sunday’s 17-17 tie with Jacksonville, saying final reps and film review will guide his choice.
• Spencer Rattler completed 18 of 24 passes for 199 yards, delivered a game-tying touchdown to Dante Pettis and scrambled for a two-point conversion despite a red-zone interception he and Mason Tipton regretted.
• Tyler Shough’s Week 1 performance of 15 of 22 for 165 yards, one touchdown and one interception plus a solid first half in the tie have kept him firmly in contention.
• Jake Haener has seen minimal action—entering only in the preseason opener and sitting out the Jaguars game—leaving the battle narrowed to Rattler and Shough.
• Some analysts suggest the Saints could pursue veteran additions such as Jameis Winston if neither internal candidate clearly separates.
