Saints Bench Spencer Rattler as Kellen Moore Weighs QB Change After 23-3 Loss

Moore will decide the Week 9 starter within 48 hours following an in-game switch to rookie Tyler Shough.

Overview

  • Rattler was pulled late in the third quarter against Tampa Bay with New Orleans trailing 17-3.
  • He went 15-of-21 for 136 yards with a pick-six by Anthony Nelson and an earlier fumble while taking three sacks.
  • Shough saw his first extended NFL action, finishing 17-of-30 for 128 yards with one interception after entering with 3:57 left in the third.
  • Moore said the move was to create something on offense and declined to name a starter, citing a 48-hour evaluation before facing the Rams.
  • The loss dropped the Saints to 1-7, and Rattler said he would be a great teammate and handle the decision professionally.
