Falcons fans thought they had it bad until the Saints just stole the show

There was no fanbase more mortified after Week 8 than the Atlanta Falcons. Against a 1-6 Dolphins team with one of the worst defenses in football, the Falcons fell flat. Their defense led Tua Tagovailoa to his best start of the year, while the offense looked completely dysfunctional in the 24-point loss.

As bad as things are in Atlanta, fans can at least rest easy knowing they have their long-term answer at quarterback. However, the same cannot be said for the New Orleans Saints, who announced that Tyler Shough would officially replace Spencer Rattler as the starting quarterback after Rattler was pulled in the third quarter in Week 8.
