Football has finally returned! It had been 245 days since the New Orleans Saints put on the pads for a regular season contest. The squad opened up the season at home versus the Arizona Cardinals., as they fell short 20-13. Don't point the finger at Spencer Rattler, though.

Many fans were eager to watch Rattler under center as the team’s starting quarterback, to open up the season. Although the team fell short, he showed up in critical moments and was close to leading a game-tying drive in the closing seconds.

During the offseason, the Saints coaching staff was looking for a quarterback who was consistent, sound in decision making, and careful with the football.
