The Saints had another turnover-filled game as they lost to NFC South rival Tampa Bay 23-3 on Sunday. For the second week in a row, New Orleans turned it over four times. Starting quarterback Spencer Rattler was benched for rookie Tyler Shough after turning it over twice. Coach Kellen Moore says he was looking for a spark and was not signaling out Rattler.
“It has more to do with the offense collectively. We’re just not executing playing in a high enough standard, and we’ve got to find a way to move the football consistently, protect the football and score points. And so, this is a pure full offensive evaluation point. We’re just not there,” Moore said.
The Saints’ next game is against the Rams in Los Angeles this Sunday. Moore says he’s not interested in flipping back and forth between quarterbacks, so he hopes to decide soon on who will start this Sunday in L.A.
“I love Spencer. I love Tyler. I love these guys to death. And so these are never easy things. They’re really, really challenging, because I know what these guys put into this thing each and every day. But we’re just trying to find a formula that works to our advantage, and we’ll continue to address that,” Moore said.
