LANDOVER, Md. -- Jameis Winston threw the longest pass of his career -- a 72-yard touchdown to receiver Deonte Harris -- to give the New Orleans Saints a 7-3 lead less than four minutes into Sunday's game at the Washington Football Team.
The TD pass made up for Winston's interception on the opening drive - a classic example of the big-play extremes Winston offers as a quarterback.
The Saints (2-2) ranked 32nd in passing attempts heading into Sunday's game. And they spent the whole week fielding questions about whether coach Sean Payton trusted Winston and his receivers enough to open up New Orleans' passing offense.
