“A two-win Saints team waltzed into Raymond James Stadium and beat the first-place Buccaneers.
To be frank, rookie quarterback Tyler Shough probably isn’t the long-term answer under center in the Big Easy. But to his credit, the 26-year-old has improved as the season has worn on, and while his passing numbers against Tampa weren’t great, he scored twice on the ground.
The Saints are a bad team with multiple holes on both sides of the ball, but they are playing hard under first-year head coach Kellen Moore, and with just one game left against a team with a winning record, the Saints could get hot down the stretch.
Shough’s late-season surge might end up hurting New Orleans’ draft position in 2026. – Davenport”
