The New Orleans Saints have made another change at quarterback. Second-year backup Jake Haener stepped in for rookie passer Spencer Rattler late in the third quarter of Week 8’s game with the Los Angeles Chargers.
To that point, Rattler had completed 12 of 24 passes for 155 yards, taking three sacks. The Saints were trailing 16-5 and clearly hoped Haener could provide a spark.
We’ll see if it works. Haener led the team’s only touchdown-scoring drive a week ago in the Saints’ Thursday night loss to t he Denver Broncos, so he clearly has some command of the offense. Both quarterbacks are backing up Derek Carr once he returns from an oblique injury but the starter is likely still a week away.
