Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough couldn’t lead the New Orleans Saints to a win against the Atlanta Falcons but he did end the season with a winning record. Shough threw for 259 yards, one touchdown and one interception plus a rushing score in the loss.

The second round pick of the 2025 NFL Draft took over the Saints starting job midway through the 2025 season and made his case to be the starter next year. Shough finished the season with 2,384 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Despite Spencer Rattler opening the season as the starting quarterback Shough eventually got his opportunity and made the most of it. Kellen Moore is a proven offensive mind and will provide stability heading into the 2026 season.
