Too often teams play it safe on a Hail Mary attempt, dropping seven or eight players into coverage, even all the way back to the end zone. Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen got a favorable look from the Dallas Cowboys protection and called a clever blitz, doing just enough to pressure Prescott into tossing the ball away well short of the goal line. The result was a timely game-winning interception.

It didn’t take Jackrabbit long to make his presence felt in New Orleans. While he mainly spent this wild card game erasing Stefon Diggs (a hugely-impressive feat), his first impact play came on this opening-drive fumble from Adam Thielen. And of course Vonn Bell, the NFL’s leader in fumble recoveries last year, was on the spot to recover the loose ball.
