"TAMPA -- New Orleans Saints rookie Tyler Shough, trying to make his case as the franchise's future at quarterback, ran for two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-20 upset win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The 40th pick in the 2025 NFL draft, Shough picked up his second career win on Sunday for the Saints (3-10) and showed off his versatility in the process, rushing for 55 yards and the first two rushing touchdowns of his career."
""Usually it's like [a] quarterback getting two or three [touchdowns] through the air, not with his feet. He went ahead and put it on display today," Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan said. According to ESPN Research, it's the third time a Saints quarterback has run for at least 50 yards and two touchdowns in franchise history, joining Archie Manning (1971) and Taysom Hill (2021)."
Tyler Shough, the 40th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, rushed for 55 yards and two rushing touchdowns in a 24-20 upset over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
