The former Cardinal is taking over under center on Sunday against the Rams in his first NFL start.

Saints Coach Kellen Moore benched Spencer Rattler for Shough midway through the team's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8. Shough completed 17 of 30 passes for 128 yards, one interception, and zero touchdowns against the Bucs.
