Kellen Moore discussed Tyler Shough’s response, the failed two-point conversion and the overturned Chase Young strip sack after the Saints’ 31-30 loss to Detroit.

NEW ORLEANS, La. (WGNO) – The Saints dropped their season opener on the road at the Detroit Lions. It was a slow start for the offense, being down 21-0 before coming alive late in the second-half jump-started by running back Kendre Miller.

The Saints got a glimpse early on how much thought Shough puts into the way he’s throwing the ball. Quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien worked Shough out at his Louisville pro day last spring and was immediately impressed by the simple fact that Shough wasn’t trying to “throw everything through a wall.”

Tyler Shough enters his second Saints season as the unquestioned starting quarterback and a team captain, ready to embrace rising expectations in New Orleans.

One week of results isn't enough to rebuild a roster, so save most of your budget and target the handful of players whose Week 1 roles actually changed.
