Spencer Rattler

Spencer Rattler completed 10-of-21 passes for 135 yards and one touchdown in the Saints’ 20-19, Week 15 loss to the Steelers.

Rattler came on in the second half in place of Jake Haener, who threw for just 49 yards on 4-of-10 passing. Rattler fared much better than Haener, immediately leading the Saints on a touchdown drive on his first possession and later mounting an attempted game-winning drive in the final minutes of the game. With less than two minutes left in regulation, the Saints drove all the way down field to score on a one-yard touchdown pass from Rattler to Foster Moreau. In hopes of securing the win, the Saints opted to go for two, but came up just short in the attempt to after a pass to Juwan Johnson was broken up in the end zone. Assuming Derek Carr (hand) is unable to go in Week 16 against the Packers, we would expect Rattler to make his fourth start of the season.
