Tyler Shough broke one New Orleans Saints record two weeks ago, and now, he has the chance to do something even greater. On Sunday, he could be the first rookie quarterback in franchise history to beat the archrival Atlanta Falcons.
It's definitely a surprising stat, and one that gets more intriguing the more you look into it, because not every Saints rookie quarterback has played the Dirty Birds. Spencer Rattler, who many are sure to compare Shough's first set of starts to, never played them his rookie year. In fact, he's never played them at all.
There has only ever been one Saints rookie quarterback to see snaps in a win against the Falcons.
