The competition is between Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler. With Saints coach Kellen Moore not making a decision yet, both signal-callers needed a strong performance to secure the QB1 role.

Rattler was named the starter on Saturday. However, he did not contribute much, going 5 of 8 for 43 yards. Meanwhile, Shough scored a touchdown and threw for more than 100 yards.

Shough's performance likely boosted his chances to be named the Saints' starting quarterback for the upcoming season. It remains to be seen who Moore gives the role to, which is expected to be announced soon.
