Saints Make Bold Move: Spencer Rattler to Start in Preseason Finale Against Broncos as QB Battle Intensifies!

NEW ORLEANS (Aug 22, 2025) — The New Orleans Saints, the last team to announce their starting quarterback for the 2025 season opener, have made a surprising choice. Spencer Rattler, the second-year quarterback, will get the nod as the starter in Saturday’s preseason finale against the Denver Broncos.

With the season just around the corner, the Saints are still in the midst of a heated competition for the quarterback position. Rattler, who has been battling with rookie Tyler Shough for the starting spot, will have one final chance to prove himself before the team makes their official decision. The stakes couldn’t be higher for Rattler, who has shown flashes of brilliance during the offseason but still faces questions about his consistency and readiness to lead the team in Week 1.

Fake Quote from Head Coach Dennis Allen: “We’ve seen a lot of growth from Spencer this offseason. He’s earned this opportunity, and we’re excited to see how he handles the pressure. This game will give us a clear picture of where he stands in the competition.”

The Saints are looking for a quarterback who can take command of the offense and guide them back to playoff contention. Rattler’s performance on Saturday could very well determine whether he earns the starting job or if the Saints will look to other options.
