Joe Morgan's acrobatic 48-yard touchdown catch is the Saints Play of the Day
Look up -- we're on Day 48 in our countdown to the New Orleans Saints' 20205 regular season opener, and today's pick for the Saints Play of the Day is easy. Joe Morgan shocked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with this leaping 48-yard touchdown catch back in 2014. You can see it for yourself right here. It had been a rough year for New Orleans. The Saints went into this game with a 1-4 record and were trailing by seven points going into halftime. So they took a bold shot; Drew Brees faked a handoff on a play-action pass, and Marques Colston and Lance Moore drew the coverage there way, freeing up Morgan. He had to adjust to an underthrown ball from Brees but that allowed him to duck under a defender's tackle. Then he flipped another Buccaneer off their feet and took a hit from a third Bucs defender while diving into the end zone. This is the kind of acrobatics you normally just see at the circus, but Morgan pulled it off on the football field. He only caught 10 passes in that 2012 season but he made the most of them. Morgan averaged 37.9 yards per reception that year, scoring three times. That turned out to be unsustainable in the long run, but it made for a great highlight reel. And it earned him a place in Saints history.

Deuce McAllister's win-sealing touchdown run is the Saints Play of the Day
We're on to Day 54 in our countdown to the New Orleans Saints' 2025 season opener, which means this 54-yard touchdown run by Deuce McAllister is our pick for the Saints Play of the Day. McAllister, then a rookie running back, made a huge difference in a grudge match with the Atlanta Falcons back in 2001. Both teams took the field at the old Georgia Dome with six wins on the year but records didn't seem to matter when these two archrivals shared the field. You can see it for yourself right here. McAllister took a pitch to the left and fought through contact to break into the open field, and at that point it became a footrace. Seeing McAllister outpace the defenders chasing him the closer he got to the end zone is just impressive. You'd expect to see that gap tighten up, but McAllister proved to be too fast for them. Who knew the first-year pro had wheels like that? Funny enough, this wasn't McAllister's first touchdown of the day. He threw a 12-yard touchdown pass early on to wide receiver Willie Jackson on a trick play, tying up the score at 7-7. So it's fitting that he put the game away himself in the final minutes, lengthening New Orleans' lead to 28-10 and becoming just the fourth non-quarterback in team history to score a touchdown as both a rusher and a passer in the same game.

Marcus Williams' pick-six off of Jameis Winston is the Saints Play of the Day
We've reached Day 55 in our countdown to the New Orleans Saints' season opener, and that means this 55-yard interception return for a touchdown is our pick for the Saints Play of the Day. Before he was throwing touchdown passes to his Saints teammates, Jameis Winston was picked off while trying to rally the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a fourth-quarter comeback. Trailing 27-17 at home back in 2019, Winston tried a deep shot to the normally-reliable Mike Evans -- but it wasn't meant to be. Free safety Marcus Williams beat the wideout to the overthrown ball and took it down the sideline, outlining everyone to the end zone. You can see the pick-six for yourself right here. It wasn't Winston's finest moment on the football field. He'd play his best ball with the Saints after they signed him as a free agent in 2020, getting the first opportunity to replace Drew Brees a season later in 2021. After Winston threw 11 touchdown passes against 10 interceptions in nine games against New Orleans when he was suiting up for Tampa Bay, also taking 24 sacks; as a member of the Saints, he notched 10 starts (in 21 appearances) and connected on 20 touchdowns while throwing 11 interceptions and taking 26 sacks. He also fumbled just five times in black and gold after putting the ball on the turf 50 times in 72 games for Tampa. As for Williams? Things didn't go as planned between him and the Saints. New Orleans is still trying to replace defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who they let walk away in free agency in 2021 to free up money for an extension with Williams that never manifested even after he spent a year playing on the franchise tag. But he played his best football with the Saints, too. After totaling 15 interceptions with 3 fumbles (2 recoveries) in five years with the Saints, Williams only picked off 5 passes without a single forced fumble (though he did recover a pair of them) in three years with the Baltimore Ravens. Maybe he would've been better off staying in New Orleans.

Doug Nussmeier's hard-to-find 57-yard TD is the Saints Play of the Day
Sometimes that's the way it goes; you're remembered for your mistakes, not your successes We're on Day 57 in our countdown to the New Orleans Saints' season opener, which means this 57-yard touchdown pass from Doug Nussmeier back in 1996 is our pick for the Saints Play of the Day. Nussmeier appeared in five games across two years with the Saints as a quarterback early in his football life, and his first career start came against the Atlanta Falcons late in his rookie year. It was a lot to ask of the fourth-round draft pick from Idaho. Unfortunately, video of the play is hard to come by. If you do have a link to video of the play, let us know. The official highlight reel from Fox Sports didn't include the 57-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Terry Guess, but it did feature a blocked Saints field goal, each of Bobby Hebert's three turnovers as the Falcons QB and a short touchdown run from turncoat Atlanta RB Craig Heyward, plus Nussmeier's early interception. To make it worse, another video archived an out-of-control run by Nussmeier that careened into the chain gain and the Saints dance team on the sideline. Sometimes that's the way it goes; you're remembered for your mistakes, not your successes. That's a lesson Nussmeier could pass on to the young quarterbacks in his room. He returned to New Orleans as a member of Kellen Moore's coaching staff, and his experience as a pro QB is one reason the team didn't sign a veteran in free agency to support Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener. He's coached with Moore at different stops since 2018 and spent time before that at high-profile college programs like Florida, Michigan, Alabama, and Washington. Expect him to do a lot in guiding those young passers this season and showing them what to do -- and what not to do.
