Saints,Jaguars Play Rare 17-17 Preseason Tie at Caesars Superdome

The New Orleans Saints and Jacksonville Jaguars played to a rare 17-17 tie in their 2025 preseason game, marking the first tie for the Saints in any game since 1972. Spencer Rattler, who relieved starter Tyler Shough, led the Saints' comeback with a late touchdown pass to Dante Pettis and a successful two-point conversion run to tie the game. Both Saints quarterbacks showed moments of promise but also inconsistency, with Shough starting and Rattler excelling in the second half. The game ended without overtime, as preseason rules do not allow it, and a late defensive play by Jonas Sanker prevented a potential game-winning field goal for New Orleans. Off the field, tensions flared as a brawl broke out between Jaguars and Saints fans at the Caesars Superdome, drawing widespread attention on social media. The tie game and fan altercation underscore the intense rivalry and passionate fan base surrounding these teams even during preseason.
