NEW ORLEANS, La. -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton made his best throw of the day two plays after taking a sack on a failed trick play Sunday.
Dalton heaved the ball up on third-and-10 with two Los Angeles Rams defenders bearing down on him, one of whom was pulling him to the ground as the ball came out. Rookie wide receiver Chris Olave split between two defenders, caught the ball around the 10-yard line and ran into the end zone for a 53-yard touchdown.
Olave's third receiving touchdown of the season put the Saints up 24-14 with less than six minutes remaining in the third quarter and was his 17th deep target of the season, fewer than only Tyreek Hill (22), Terry McLaurin (20) and Stefon Diggs (18).
