Drew Brees: Brandin Cooks looked like Usain Bolt on 98-yard TD

NEW ORLEANS – Yes, Brandin Cooks admitted, he did look up at one of those giant new video boards in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome during his 98-yard touchdown catch from Drew Brees on Sunday -- the longest offensive play in New Orleans Saints history.

But it wasn’t to admire himself.

“As soon as I caught it, I had to look at the screen, just to see where guys were,” Cooks said. “But other than that, I kept my head down just as if I was in a track meet.”

The answer: The Oakland Raiders defenders were all in his dust.
