The New Orleans interim coach is seizing his seven-game audition in hopes of fulfilling his lifelong dream.

Quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko took Spencer Rattler and the rest of the Saints' quarterbacks into the walk-in freezer in the team's cafeteria Saturday to run through plays as they prepare for cold Lambeau Field.

The Saints will start Spencer Rattler at quarterback Monday night if Derek Carr can't play, while running back Alvin Kamara is likely out with a groin injury.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn and Saints coach Darren Rizzi both had gripes about the officiating in Washington's win Sunday.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr, previously considered doubtful to play, was officially ruled out of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders, and second-year quarterback Jake Haener, a fourth-round choice out of Fresno State, will start.

The Saints plan to give Jake Haener his first career start at quarterback if Derek Carr is ruled out against the Commanders, sources told ESPN.
