NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Saints’ offense exploded on former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday – and Sean Payton appeared to relish every minute of it.
Payton also appeared to be calling his own plays for the first time this season in between post-touchdown fist-bumps and smirks as the Saints opened up a can of everything in their playbook in a 49-21 victory over the Rams.
The icing on the cake was a trick-play touchdown with 10:26 remaining – when Saints receiver Willie Snead (a former high school quarterback) threw a 50-yard TD pass to running back Tim Hightower to expand the lead to 28 points.
