Sports Seriously
The New Orleans Saints made a big change in Week 8.
Near the end of the third quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Saints benched second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler in favor of rookie Tyler Shough.
Shough, 26, had played in just one game prior to Oct. 26’s divisional clash. The Saints’ second-round pick in this year’s draft had been 0-of-2 on his three-snap outing against the Seattle Seahawks five weeks prior.
Rattler, who won New Orleans’ Week 1 starting job in training camp, secured his first career win as a starter in Week 5 against the New York Giants but has been winless otherwise. Before the Saints benched him, he began the Oct. 26 game against the Buccaneers 15-of-21 for 136 yards and one interception, which was returned for a touchdown.
