The Saints are holding a quarterback competition through training camp and preseason, and while Shough had a big mistake on an interception returned for a touchdown, he performed better than his main competition, Spencer Rattler. Rattler started the game, but it might not be long before Shough overtakes him on the depth chart.

After an extended opening drive, the New Orleans Saints offense stopped just short of punching it into the end zone to start the preseason.
