Yesterday, Marcus Murphy did something that no man has done for the New Orleans Saints in four years — he returned a punt for a touchdown. Thanks to a penalty flag, he was given a second opportunity after failing on the first with a muffed punt.
It was the second-straight game Marcus Murphy muffed a punt, but he made up for it in a big way, the biggest way possible. He took the next one to the house for a 74-yard touchdown, becoming the first Saint to do such a thing since Darren Sproles did it at Lambeau Field in the 2011 season opener versus the Green Bay Packers — a play that quickly helped fans get over the departed Reggie Bush.
