New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough continues to show great promise, with signs pointing toward him developing into a franchise quarterback. His resilience and toughness were on full display, playing a crucial role in the Saints 24-20 divisional road win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Shough finished the afternoon completing 13-20 passes for 144 yards and 1 interception. Despite not having much success on through the air, he delivered key moments with his legs, recording 7 carries for 55 yards and 2 touchdowns. It was a gritty and timely performance when the Saints needed it.
One of his biggest came in the fourth quarter, a 13 yard touchdown scramble that gave the Saints a 24-17 lead, one they would never relinquish.
