Lip readers on social media believe they detected the message New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler had for head coach Dennis Allen during the team’s humiliating home loss to the Denver Broncos on “Thursday Night Football.”

It’s impossible to comprehend why Allen called his timeout at that point, especially given his team’s performance. Usually, a coach in that situation wants to take it right to the half and get his group refreshed.
