Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough’s debut for the New Orleans Saints sparked new hope for the struggling team, and he delivered. The Saints clinched a 17-7 win over the Carolina Panthers . And in their second win, the rookie, who started the season as a backup QB, ended a 44-year drought for the franchise.
FOX announced that Tyler Shough is now the first Saints rookie QB to win a game since Dave Wilson led New Orleans to victory over the Los Angeles Rams back in 1981. For the current roster, this win carries even more weight. With this, the team snapped a four-game losing streak and improved its record to 2-8.
According to the broadcast, this was also the first win for rookie quarterback and first-year head coach Kellen Moore in the franchise’s history, amid a challenging season. Tho
