Throws pick-six in Saturday's loss

Rattler completed 14 of 23 passes for 141 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception while adding five carries for 21 yards during the Saints' 34-0 preseason loss to the Rams on Saturday.

Rattler was the Saints' starter in the team's preseason opener against the Jaguars, but Zach Wilson had that honor for Saturday's game in Los Angeles, with Tyler Shough observing the game in street cloths. Rattler opened the second half with a steady series to lead the Saints into the red zone, only for his pass intended for Treyton Welch to be intercepted off by Al'zillion Hamilton, who returned it for a 100-yard pick-six. Rattler was able to get the Saints back into the red zone twice more in the second half, but neither drive ended in points for New Orleans. Given the inconsistency of Wilson and Rattler between the Saints' first two exhibition games, the backup job behind Tyler Shough appears to be up in the air heading into Friday's preseason finale against the Cowboys.
