Saints Seek Momentum After Rare Win with Rookie QB

As the New Orleans Saints enter their Week 11 bye, the team is looking to build on a rare victory led by rookie quarterback Tyler Shough and first-year head coach Kellen Moore. The Saints, who currently hold the worst record in the NFC at 2-8, have faced a lack of fan demand, with some home game tickets being resold for as little as $16.

The team's struggles have been evident since the release of the NFL's regular-season schedule last May, when the Saints were not selected for any nationally televised night games. Their last playoff appearance was in 2020, and there are no high-stakes home games left this season.

However, the Saints' recent 17-7 victory over the improved Carolina Panthers has provided a glimmer of hope. Shough, the team's second-round draft pick, became the first Saints rookie quarterback to win a game he started since 1981, and the win was the first in team history with a rookie QB and first-year coach.
