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.

His 1-yard touchdown pass to Foster Moreau with no time left gave the Saints a chance to win. Interim coach Darren Rizzi went for 2 instead of a tying extra point, but well-covered tight end Juwan Johnson could not hold on to Rattler’s hard pass in the corner of the end zone. “Spencer did a great job, came in, provided some spark, but not only that, we only gave up six points in the second half, which gave us a chance,” Rizzi said. “We needed one more play and unfortunately we dug too big of a hole there in the first half.”
Rizzi did not put all the blame for his team’s first-half struggles on Haener. He pointed to a third-down completion to Wilson that was erased by a holding penalty and a throw that an open Valdes-Scantling missed one play before the interception. “He hit some plays. We saw that from him coming out in his college days” at South Carolina, Commanders coach Dan Quinn said. “You never know. Sometimes when you come in, you’ve got nothing to lose and you let it rip.”
