Throws interception against Rams

Wilson completed six of 12 passes for 55 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception while adding four carries for 19 yards during the Saints' 34-0 loss to the Rams on Saturday.

Wilson was named the starter for Saturday's exhibition contest while Tyler Shough observed the game from the sidelines. Wilson failed to lead the offense into the Rams' territory in three of four series, and his short pass intended for Bub Means early in the second quarter was picked off by Al'zillion Hamilton, leading to a one-yard rushing touchdown by Stetson Bennett nine plays later. Spencer Rattler was statistically better than Wilson after taking over in the second half, with the former leading a drive deep into the red zone before throwing a pick-six, and it appears as though the backup job behind Shough is far from a done deal. Wilson will have the opportunity to secure the QB2 job in the Saints' preseason finale against the Cowboys on Friday.
