Amid the remaining questions looming for the New Orleans Saints this preseason, one partly seems to have an answer: Coach Kellen Moore has an idea how his young quarterbacks could react after a bout of adversity.
On Sunday in the Caesars Superdome, second-year pro Spencer Rattler followed a red-zone interception with a nine-play touchdown drive – culminating with his 20-yard pass to Dante Pettis – and two-point conversion run that pulled the Saints into a 17-17 final score with Jacksonville.
"It was a fun one," Rattler said. "I thought we could have finished a little better in the red zone. Throughout the second half we shot ourselves in the foot, should have had multiple scores, I thought. I thought we moved the ball well, receivers stepped up and made big plays."
Rattler completed 18 of 24 passes for 199 yards and was five of six for 76 yards on the tying 82-yard drive, including a 16-yard pass to Mason Tipton on fourth-and-2. On his last throw of the game he connected with Pettis, who beat single coverage as Rattler's pass led him toward the left sideline past a diving defender, before Pettis turned upfield and scored with 21 seconds left.
"I was just kind of one-on-one with the corner, and I knew I had the out route," said Pettis, who caught four passes for 57 yards. "So, just gave him a little shake at the top and Spence did the rest."
On the Saints' previous possession, which began at their 29-yard line, Rattler led the offense to Jacksonville's 24-yard line in nine plays before a pass intended for Tipton was intercepted by cornerback Keni-H Lovely at the 7. But the defense forced a punt and even though it pinned New Orleans at its 18, the Saints took advantage of the extra opportunity.
"I think everything counts, especially in the preseason when we're trying to get things down a little bit," Pettis said. "It doesn't really matter who's in there or what the score is, every time you can put a drive together and finish the way we did, I feel like it's always good."
The final flurry helped the Saints balance the scale statistically: They were outgained by two yards (337-335) and outrushed by nine (96-87); posted 18 first downs to Jacksonville's 21; and won the time of possession battle (31:12-28:48).
Biggest, though, was a 3-1 advantage in turnovers. Rookie defensive tackle Vernon Broughton recovered a first-quarter fumble in the red zone to keep points off the board, linebacker Jaylan Ford had a third-quarter interception in the red zone to keep points off the board and with Jacksonville looking to inch closer after reaching the Saints' 42 following Rattler's touchdown pass, Jonas Sanker intercepted Seth Henigan's pass attempt and returned it 40 yards to Jacksonville's 24 as time expired.
Rookie Tyler Shough started at quarterback for the Saints and completed nine of 12 passes for 66 yards in the first half, which ended in a 17-3 Jaguars lead. Shough was sacked twice and penalized for intentional grounding; last week, he pulled off the recovery-from-adversity story against the Chargers by following an interception returned for a touchdown with a touchdown pass to Tipton.
A week later, Rattler was 13 of 18 for 123 yards before smoothly executing the two-minute offense.
"Our guys played really, really well down the stretch," Moore said. "Made some big-time plays, big-time opportunities. Really good lessons for our guys throughout this game.
"That was a big moment and opportunity for (Rattler). To have that great job going down the field – you throw an interception and have to respond, and he responded really well. Put the team in excellent position and did a great job of situational football on that two-minute drive.
"His ability to play with his feet came up in a number of situations and I just thought our guys did a really good job in that two-minute just handling and understanding what the situation was."
Rattler's feet became the difference between a tie and a loss.
"They had the perfect defensive call for (the two-point conversion)," Rattler said. "That was like a go-to two-point play, they played it perfect and down there you've got to extend and scramble, and they let me leak out, I saw the edge and just hit it.
"I think it's good to finish, whatever happens. The defense stepped up big time – a lot of three-and-outs, a couple of turnovers for us, they stepped up big time. And then, we can help them out by finishing more in the red zone with those opportunities."
