The New Orleans Saints’ quarterback competition remains a closely fought battle, but Spencer Rattler made significant strides in his quest for the starting position. The second-year quarterback showcased his skills with three impressive throws, joining an elite group as only the third player to accomplish such a feat in this preseason. Rattler played a key role in the Saints' game-tying drive against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while his competitor, Tyler Shough, displayed both rookie struggles and flashes of potential.

Although the 17-17 tie doesn't impact the Jaguars' pursuit, they did receive strong performances from starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence and their trio of promising running backs: Trevor Etienne, Tank Bigsby, and Bhayshul Tuten.

Defensively, Saints cornerback Rejzohn Wright made a notable contribution by breaking up two passes, while Jaguars cornerback Keni-H Lovely intercepted a pass from Rattler in the fourth quarter. Such defensive plays highlight the competitive spirit present among both teams.

🌟 PLAYER OF THE GAME

This week’s MVP title goes to Jaguars tackle Fred Johnson, who joined the team on a one-year deal this offseason following a three-year stint with the Eagles. Johnson played nearly three quarters and excelled in various roles on the offensive line, proving capable on both the right and left sides.

He showcased a remarkable performance, not allowing any pressure during 28 pass-blocking snaps and achieving a positive grade on almost 50% of his run-blocking attempts—this is by far the highest rate in the game!
