Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough ran for two touchdowns to lead the New Orleans Saints to a 24-20 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a rainy Sunday afternoon at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla.
The win ended a two-game losing streak and improved the Saints to 3-10. The loss dropped Tampa to 7-6.
Shough, the team’s second-round pick out of Louisville, ran for a 34-yard touchdown on the first possession of the second half and added a 13-yard scramble for a score in the fourth quarter. He rushed five times for 58 yards and was 13 of 20 passing for 144 yards with one interception.
