Coming into Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, the New Orleans Saints had not made many big plays through four weeks of the season. But that changed when two huge ones – one on offense and the other on defense – paved the way for a 26-14 routing of New York and the first win of head coach Kellen Moore’s tenure in the Big Easy.
The first big play came in the second quarter when Spencer Rattler, who found his first win as a starting quarterback, connected with the speedy Rashid Shaheed on an 87-yard touchdown. Then, in the fourth quarter, defensive tackle Bryan Bresee forced a fumble with the loose ball being picked up by safety Jordan Howden and returned 86 yards to the house.
Here’s how the rest of the game between the Saints (1-4) and Giants (1-4) played out.
