New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore had the best play of his young career on Sunday, catching an interception and running it back for a 27-yard touchdown in their 52-38 win victory over the Detroit Lions at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
As impressive as the pick-6 was, there were two other plays in the game that should provide hope that Lattimore is on his way to being a complete cornerback, one that can help the defense in more ways than just covering wide receivers.
On the Saints' second defensive play, Lattimore lined up across from a receiver, and as soon as the Lions snapped it, he sprinted toward the backfield and tackled running back Ameer Abdullah and held him to a 2-yard gain.
