Spencer Rattler made a significant impact in his return to the field for the New Orleans Saints, nearly leading the team back from a 17-0 deficit against the Washington Commanders. After replacing Jake Haener, Rattler threw a last-second touchdown pass to Foster Moreau, but the Saints fell short in a 20-19 loss due to a failed 2-point conversion attempt.

Rattler's performance showcased his potential, completing 10 of 21 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown, while the Saints' offense struggled in the first half with Haener at the helm. Interim coach Darren Rizzi acknowledged Rattler's spark in the second half, which allowed the team to score on all four of Rattler's possessions.
