Overview
- Shough will make his first NFL start in Week 9 at the Rams after relieving Spencer Rattler in Week 8.
- Moore said there will be no week-to-week shuffle at quarterback and confirmed Rattler moves to the backup role.
- The decision follows a 1-7 start marked by a sluggish offense and recent turnover spikes with Rattler under center.
- In his relief outing against Tampa Bay, Shough went 17 of 30 for 128 yards with one interception and added 12 rushing yards.
- A 2025 second-round pick at No. 40 overall, Shough is the club’s highest-drafted QB since Archie Manning and now faces a Rams defense that ranks near the top in sacks and points allowed.
