Spencer Rattler will start the New Orleans Saints preseason finale against the Denver Broncos, head coach Kellen Moore announced Thursday.

Rattler started the first preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers, then played the second half last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He enjoyed a strong performance against the Jaguars, particularly late in the game, when he led a dramatic game-tying drive in the closing minutes.

In two preseason games, Rattler is completing 71.2% of his passes, with 252 yards, a touchdown and an interception. His main competitor, rookie Tyler Shough, has thrown for 234 yards with a score and an interception.

The Saints are the last NFL team to declare a starting quarterback for the regular season.
