Rattler completed seven of 13 passes for 105 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 preseason loss to the Titans. He added two rushing attempts for 13 yards.
Jake Haener started under center, but the offense punted on both of his drives. Then, Rattler capped his first possession in the game with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Equanimeous St. Brown and ultimately led three touchdown drives on his four possessions while the Saints mustered only three points in six drives with Haener under center. Rattler likely had some ground to make up in the competition to be Derek Carr's backup quarterback because Haener got the start for this preseason finale, but Sunday's results may be enough to flip the script in the rookie fifth-round draft pick's favor. New Orleans may ultimately keep both Rattler and Haener -- a 2023 fourth-round draft pick -- on the roster heading into the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Panthers.
