We've got 99 days to count down until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2025 regular season with a home game against the Arizona Cardinals, which means that Patrick Robinson's 99-yard pick-six is the Saints Play of the Day. Robinson gave the team a rare spark in what had been a brutal 2012 season, which you can watch here.
With the Philadelphia Eagles (led by ex-Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick) driving down to the Saints' goal line on Monday Night Football, Robinson stepped up to intercept a pass deflected off of tight end Brent Celek's hands. But he wasn't done yet. Robinson went streaking down the sideline with a convoy of teammates blocking for him, covering 99 yards to put the night's first points on the board.
Talk about a tone-setter. Robinson's heady play gave the Saints an early lead in a game that proved to be, well, not very competitive. The Saints took care of business against the Eagles in a 28-13 win in prime time. A few years later Robinson signed with the Eagles in time for their 2017 Super Bowl run, but he finished his career where it started by returning to New Orleans for a few years and retiring in 2020. It wasn't quite the career anyone envisioned when the Saints drafted him in 2010's first round, but Robinson ultimately did pretty well for himself.
