Taysom Hill turned in an impressive performance last week as he led the New Orleans Saints to a 24-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Hill was 8 of 9 passing for 72 yards and he ran seven times for 52 yards and a touchdown. He showed that he is a legitimate candidate to back up Drew Brees this season.
