Michael Thomas is still “that dude”

Thomas had the quietest 10-catch, 101-yard day in the history of the NFL. He was too good for the Panthers secondary to cover and outplayed them whenever the Saints gave him an opportunity, but it’s easy to overlook his contributions because those numbers have become expected of him. But between his touchdown strike to extend the lead late in the third quarter and a 24-yard back shoulder reception to set up Wil Lutz’s game-winning field goal, Thomas had just as big a part to play in this victory as anyone else. He’s the best wide receiver in football right now, and it’s important to remember that every time he takes the field.
