Impact No. 1 signal-caller Derek Carr handled the Saints' first two offensive possessions Saturday, while Jake Haener got the rest of the QB reps in the first half. After halftime, Rattler, a 2024 fourth-round pick, entered for his first NFL action, putting together an immediate scoring drive that ended in his four-yard scramble for a TD. He then went three straight drives that ended in punts before leading a game-winning drive for a field goal. The breakdown of reps between Haener and Rattler may indicate the former is leading the competition for the backup role, but the latter's performance could put him on a path to eventually grabbing the No. 2 gig for good.
