The New Orleans Saints were noncompetitive in a blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. The Saints turned back to Spencer Rattler, naming the rookie passer the team’s starter for Monday night ‘s matchup after second-year quarterback Jake Haener’s disastrous showing against the Washington Commanders in Week 15. However, Rattler failed to move the needle in his fourth start of the season.
After the Monday night debacle, Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi weighed in on his QB’s outing. Rizzi acknowledged that Rattler had some positive moments but lamented his turnovers and bad decisions, according to Saints reporter Mike Triplett.
