Overview
- Kellen Moore declined to name a Week 1 starter after a 17-17 draw with the Jaguars, saying film review will drive the decision this week.
- Spencer Rattler played the entire second half, finishing 18-of-24 for 199 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and tied the game with a 20-yard pass to Dante Pettis plus a two-point scramble.
- Rookie Tyler Shough started and went 9-of-12 for 66 yards in the first half as the team continues evaluating the recent second-round pick's development.
- Moore kept Rattler in after a red-zone interception to gauge his response in late-game situations, and Jake Haener did not play and remains the third option.
- Media coverage has floated veteran contingency paths after roster cuts, including a possible look at Jameis Winston, while national analysts note the franchise's developmental commitment to Shough and the option to revisit quarterback in the 2026 draft.
