It was ugly, but a win is a win. The New Orleans Saints took down the Los Angeles Chargers with a big comeback in their preseason game, having at one point trailed 17-3, and clinched victory with an impressive interception. Reserve quarterback Taysom Hill put his athleticism on display with some crafty running and throwing, and ended up giving the Saints a 19-17 lead.
The Chargers received the ball with about a minute left in regulation, and initially made some big gains, but rookie quarterback Easton Stick was pressured into an ill-advised throw directly into Saints linebacker Colton Jumper’s coverage zone.
