NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints didn't have much patience with quarterback Jake Haener after a poor offensive showing in the first half.

Haener, who was starting in a relief of an injured Derek Carr, was benched after one half in favor of rookie Spencer Rattler. The Saints generated only 38 net yards of offense in the first half, their worst showing in a half since 2002. Haener completed only 4-of-10 passes for 49 yards, threw an interception and was sacked three times in the first start of his career.

Rattler came into the game into the second half to cheers as Haener stood on the sidelines wearing a baseball cap.
