Saints' Sean Payton, Taysom Hill at it again with game-changing fake punt

NEW ORLEANS -- And, oh by the way, the New Orleans Saints converted a fake punt with third-string quarterback Taysom Hill from their own 30-yard line in the second quarter when they were trailing 14-0.

It wasn't exactly an afterthought in the Saints' 20-14 come-from-behind win against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. But it was also far more routine for this team than it would be for most.

Hill has repeatedly been a game-changer for the Saints this season in just about every situation coach Sean Payton could dream up: Read-option quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end and special teams animal.
