Saints finally find right 'QB' in Willie Snead for long-awaited trick play

NEW ORLEANS -- It’s debatable whether the New Orleans Saints were simply rubbing it in. While holding a 21-point lead, they called for receiver Willie Snead’s 50-yard touchdown pass to running back Tim Hightower with 10 minutes, 15 seconds remaining in their 49-21 victory over the Los Angeles Rams and former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams on Sunday.

But one thing is not debatable -- the play was a thing of beauty.

“Man, that was pretty impressive,” said Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who doesn’t have to worry about his job security since he threw four TD passes of his own on Sunday.
