The New Orleans Saints turned to rookie quarterback Tyler Shough in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after starter Spencer Rattler threw an interception, lost a fumble and took three sacks.

It's sink or swim for Tyler Shough. NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reports he has been named the Saints' new starter ahead of Week 9's game with the Rams:

The New Orleans Saints are making a quarterback change that carries some weight. Tyler Shough will take over as the starting quarterback, replacing Spencer Rattler after the team’s rough start to the season left them searching for answers.

It's Tyler Shough time in New Orleans. At least for this Sunday. After nearly three quarters produced three turnovers and just three points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Saints coach Kellen Moore had seen enough of quarterback Spencer Rattler.
