"NEW ORLEANS -- The Saints will start rookie quarterback Tyler Shough against the Los Angeles Rams with Spencer Rattler remaining on the bench, the team announced Tuesday. Coach Kellen Moore benched Rattler in favor of Shough midway through Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and said after the game that he'd take 48 hours to decide on a starting quarterback. Sunday's game against the Rams will be Shough's first NFL start and his first start overall since he played for Louisville on Nov. 30,"
"Prior to Sunday's loss, he had seen limited action only at the end of a blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. Rattler, who won the job over Shough during an extended training camp battle, has struggled in his past two games, turning the ball over six times -- with four interceptions and two fumbles -- in six quarters against the Chicago Bears and the Bucs."
