Rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler made his NFL debut for the New Orleans Saints but struggled against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, leading to a 51-27 loss. After a promising start, Rattler threw two interceptions and was sacked five times in the second half, as the Saints failed to score after halftime.

Despite a strong second quarter where the Saints erased a 17-point deficit, Rattler acknowledged his mistakes and the need for improvement. Saints coach Dennis Allen plans to start Rattler again in their upcoming game against Denver.
