US EditionTyler Shough's First Start as Saints Quarterback Has Glimpses of Promise in 34-10 Loss to Rams
Tyler Shough, a 2025 second-round pick, made his first NFL start with 176 passing yards despite the Saints falling to 1-8 after losing to the Rams, coach Kellen Moore said.
- On Sunday, Saints coach Kellen Moore named Tyler Shough starter, and the rookie's first NFL start ended in a 34-10 loss at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
- Last week, Tyler Shough earned extended playing time after Spencer Rattler was benched in a 23-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, entering as a 2025 second round draft pick and the third quarterback selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
- Shough completed 15 of 24 for 176 yards, one touchdown and one interception, featuring a 27-yard longest completion to Chris Olave and a six-play, 71-yard possession capped by a touchdown to Juwan Johnson.
- The Saints' loss dropped them to 1-8 as the Rams outgained them by over 200 yards and ran 71 plays to the Saints' 40; Shough faces Carolina next Sunday.
- Looking ahead, Tyler Shough's Week 9 yardage exceeded quarterbacks drafted above him, he showed poise under pressure despite a fourth-quarter interception to Emmanuel Forbes, and observers noted growth potential.
