Baltimore -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough delivered a go-ahead touchdown on a fourth-quarter sneak to secure a 24-17 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, days after Ravens defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver called him a "poor man's Josh Allen." Weaver intended the comparison as a compliment, noting Shough's arm talent and athleticism from their matchup last year when Weaver coached the Miami Dolphins. The Saints coaches embraced the "poor man" nickname as motivation throughout the week. Shough responded by leading the league with 662 passing yards through early games, tying for fifth with three passing touchdowns and fourth with one rushing touchdown.

His 10 fourth-quarter passing and rushing touchdowns since Week 10 of last season trail only Allen's 11. The decisive score came with 1:32 remaining on fourth-and-goal, confirmed after replay officials found no clear evidence Shough hadn't broken the plane. Saints wide receiver Chris Olave dismissed the comparisons, stating Shough is "one of one" and on track to become a top quarterback by season's end.
