The New Orleans Saints made a lot of great plays in the 2019 NFL season, but these 15 highlight reel-worthy moments stood out more than most

2. Marcus Williams intercepts Jameis Winston, runs 61 yards for defensive TD at Buccaneers

It’s not for nothing that Williams lead all Saints players in interceptions from 2010 to 2019, despite having just entered the NFL in 2017. He’s a ballhawk in the league and should compete for the interceptions crown every year thanks to his deep understanding of the playbook, his well-developed range and athleticism, and his upper-shelf ball skills. Now let’s see if he can finally tackle a little cleaner.

1. Eli Apple, Vonn Bell team up for a defensive TD deep in Seahawks territory

And here we go: the play of the year. This one has everything. The drama of a big Seahawks run, getting them out of poor starting field position, was immediately undercut by a terrific Saints defensive play. Apple had the situational awareness to swipe at the ball during his form-perfect tackle. Bell tracked the runner, putting himself in position to recover. And the Saints defense as a unit immediately pivoted to offense, forming a convoy for Bell to cruise behind into the end zone for a score that put this one away very early.
