Saints' Tyler Shough: Throws for 272 yards, TD in win
Tyler Shough completed 24 of 32 passes for 272 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Panthers. He also rushed eight times for 32 yards.Shough's only touchdown of the game was a clutch one, as he connected with Chris Olave for the game-tying score with 2:29 remaining. The rookie quarterback then guided the New Orleans Saints into position for Charlie Smyth's game-winning 47-yard field goal, which Shough helped set up by drawing a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty on a scramble during the Saints' penultimate offensive play. Spencer Rattler came in for the next play while Shough was evaluated on the sideline, but Shough was available to speak to the media after the game, suggesting Shough should be fine to take on the Jets in Week 16.

Saints' Tyler Shough: Two rushing scores in upset win
Tyler Shough completed 13 of 20 passes for 144 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding seven rushes for 55 yards and two touchdowns in the New Orleans Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.Shough took three sacks and generated the third sub-200-yard tally through the air of his six-game starting tenure, but the rookie signal-caller shined with his work on the ground. Shough recorded the first two rushing scores of his career on 34- and 13-yard runs, the latter play coming with 8:26 remaining in the game and snapping a 17-17 tie. Shough also established a new career high in rushing yardage in the upset victory, and his penchant for keeping the Saints competitive most weeks affords him a reasonably optimistic outlook for a Week 15 home divisional clash against the Panthers.

Saints' Tyler Shough: Throws two TDs in loss
Tyler Shough completed 26 of 38 passes for 239 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 21-17 defeat against the Dolphins. He also logged six rushes for 18 yards and committed a fumble.Shough aired it out again after logging 43 passing attempts in the Week 12 loss to Atlanta. The rookie QB was under fire in the pocket, taking four sacks, including one where he was stripped of the ball. Shough had an additional interception that didn't count on his official stat sheet, as it occurred on a two-point conversion attempt that was returned for two points the other way by Miami safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter. Shough also didn't have the support of a consistent rushing attack, with Alvin Kamara out after suffering an MCL sprain last week. Across four starts, he has completed 68.1 percent of his passes for 235 yards per game and a 5:3 TD:INT. New Orleans will next play on the road against the Buccaneers in Week 14.

Saints' Tyler Shough: Commits two turnovers Week 12
Tyler Shough completed 30 of 43 passes for 243 yards and one interception during Sunday's 24-10 defeat versus Atlanta. He also logged seven carries for 22 yards, and he lost one fumble.Shough's first career home start was bookmarked by a pair of turnovers, as he lost a fumble on a botched exchange on the New Orleans Saints' second offensive play before throwing an interception on a heave in the final seconds. The rookie quarterback was under fire during his first career home start, getting sacked five times. He also finished as New Orleans' leading rusher after RB1 Alvin Kamara was forced out with a knee injury in the first half. The lackluster support system around Shough isn't likely to make things easier for him moving forward. He and the rest of the offense will look to clean things up ahead of a Week 13 contest versus Miami on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Saints' Tyler Shough: Tosses two TDs in Week 10 win
Tyler Shough completed 19 of 27 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Panthers.Making his second career NFL start, the rookie quarterback hit Chris Olave for a 62-yard score in the second quarter and Juwan Johnson for a 30-yard TD in the fourth to secure his first win. It was a much more impressive showing from Shough than in his first start, as he nearly matched the passing yards total (304) he amassed over his first three appearances with the New Orleans Saints. The 2025 second-round pick will get a bye next week before facing the Falcons in Week 12.

Saints' Tyler Shough: Unimpressive in first career start
Tyler Shough was 15-for-24 passing for 176 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 34-10 defeat to the Rams.Shough turned in a quiet performance in another dreadful outing for the New Orleans Saints' offense. New Orleans played from behind in stops and starts for essentially the entire game, as the Rams dominated time of possession 43:53-16:07. Shough showed some promise when he piloted a six-play, 71-yard touchdown drive at the end of the first half, but he had only three offensive series in the second half, including a final possession that ended with a fourth-down interception. Shough and the Saints' offense will need to make some significant improvements before their first matchup versus the division-rival Panthers in Week 10 next Sunday.

Saints' Tyler Shough: Viewed as starter for rest of year
New Orleans Saints coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that he plans to start Tyler Shough for the remainder of the season, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.That's almost always the case when a team changes QBs, but it doesn't always work out that way. Shough does figure to be given plenty of slack, if only because he's a rookie on a team with poor alternatives. He got his first significant action in a 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay in Week 8, subbing in for Spencer Rattler in the third quarter and finishing out the game. Shough didn't look any better than Rattler, completing 17 of 30 passes for 128 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception (plus three carries for 12 yards).

Saints' Tyler Shough: Taking over as starting QB
New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore informed Tyler Shough that he will replace Spencer Rattler as the team's starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.A change at quarterback seemed inevitable after Rattler was benched for Shough midway through this past Sunday's 23-3 loss to the Buccaneers. After falling short in his bid for the starting job during training camp and the preseason, Shough, a second-round pick in April's draft, had come on in relief of Rattler in two games through the first eight weeks of the season, completing 17 of 32 passes for 128 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while adding 12 yards on three carries. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 219 pounds, Shough brings ideal size and a strong throwing arm, but he offers less rushing upside than Rattler and wasn't especially accurate in passer-friendly offenses at Texas Tech and Louisville during his collegiate career. The Saints could look to lean heavily on an Alvin Kamara-led ground attack to help ease the 26-year-old rookie in during his first NFL start.

Saints' Tyler Shough: Takes over for struggling starter
Tyler Shough completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 128 yards and an interception while gaining 12 yards on three carries in Sunday's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay.Starter Spencer Rattler was mercifully benched late in the third quarter after committing a pair of turnovers a week after turning the ball over four times in a loss to the Bears. Shough didn't fare much better against the Buccaneers, producing an eerily similar stat to Rattler's in an abysmal performance by the New Orleans Saints offense as a whole. With the Saints now sitting at 1-7 and Rattler having turned in turnover-filled outings in consecutive starts, head coach Kellen Moore may be ready to turn the keys of the offense over to Shough in a Week 9 matchup against the Rams.

Saints' Tyler Shough: First NFL action in garbage time
Tyler Shough failed to complete either of his pass attempts in Sunday's 44-13 loss to Seattle.Shough got his first taste of the pros when he took over for Spencer Rattler on New Orleans' final drive in garbage time Sunday. The 2025 second-round pick failed to complete either of his pass attempts in the brief outing. This wasn't a changing of the guard, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Shough take over at some point this season if the New Orleans Saints continue stacking losses under Rattler.
