Rattler hype, activate: Saints Lose to Commanders, in a good way? Studs & Duds + Live Mailbag

The New Orleans Saints didn’t beat the Commanders this week, but they made sure the finish was worth the price of admission. On the latest episode of the Audacy original Inside Black & Gold podcast, Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak and WWL Sports Director Steve Geller lay out the studs and duds from Sunday in the Superdome, dive into the very different days for Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener, then answer live mailbag questions after Week 15.  SEGMENT 1: Picking Studs from Saints-Commanders: Rattler’s Rally Gives Spark … The New Orleans Saints lost to the Commanders, so why are we acting all positive? Well, a lot comes down to a very positive showing for rookie Spencer Rattler, who took over at halftime and engineered a rally from 17-0 to give the Saints a shot in the final seconds. We’ll break down what went right and what went wrong for the QB kid, another strong day for Kendre Miller, a defensive line that’s suddenly feasting, Foster Moreau’s redemption moment and a lot more.  SEGMENT 2: Picking Duds From Saints-Commanders: Haener Has Nightmare Day … OK, that was rough. The day started with optimism for one young QB in Jake Haener, but it ended with a halftime benching and frustration. So what went wrong for the Haen train? We’ll break it down, along with an OL group that’s continuing to scuffle and kickoff coverage suddenly a weakness. SEGMENT 3: Saints-Commanders Mailbag: Is Chase Young Earning a Big Payday? … We close out today’s Inside Black & Gold by diving into live viewer questions following the Saints’ 20-19 loss to the Commanders. We’ll hit on Chase Young’s late-season surge and whether the Saints should be ready to break the bank, more on Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler’s very different days, the final 2-point call and more.
