Spencer Rattler and the New Orleans Saints did not get the outcome they were after when they faced the Washington Commanders, falling 20-19 at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday afternoon. One of the biggest talking points after a game that was much more closely contested

Rattler and the Saints’ decision to go for the win stemmed from solid logic. Heading into Sunday, New Orleans had just a 1% chance of reaching the postseason. Going up against a superior foe, in front of your home crowd, having just climbed back from a 17-point hole, there is really not much to lose in putting it all on the line for one more play.

Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi says rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler looked like he belonged in the NFL while leading four second-half scoring drives and nearly rallying New Orleans back from a 17-0 hole against Washington.
