Tyler Shough has it. Just ask his teammates. The New Orleans Saints upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a torrential rainstorm in Tampa on Dec. 7, and it was Shough who led the way with two rushing touchdowns. His Saints teammates were effusive in their praise for the rookie signal-caller’s ability to make plays off-script and with his legs.

Shough scored his first touchdown with just over 11 and a half minutes to play in the third quarter. He kept the ball on a read option and followed a kick-out block from wide receiver Devaughn Vele, outrunning five defenders on his way into the end zone from 34 yards out to give the Saints a 14-10 lead.
