Ranking the 15 best plays of the 2019 Saints season

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

The NFL’s calendar is just weeks away from flipping over to the 2020 fiscal year, meaning that free agency and the 2020 NFL Draft are on the horizon. For the New Orleans Saints, it’s time to finally shut the book on a highlight-filled 2019 season that, unfortunately, came up short. But we’re here to celebrate the year’s best moments.

Whittling down the thousands of snaps played by the Saints last year wasn’t easy, and this list may not jive with everyone’s expectations. So let us know what you think we got wrong, and which big plays deserved greater recognition in our Saints Forum.

Now, let’s get to it. Here’s our ranking of the 15 best Saints plays of 2019:

15. Teddy Bridgewater connects with Ted Ginn on 33-yard TD vs. Buccaneers

This was just a perfectly-executed play, with the route concepts opening Ginn up for a well-thrown ball from Bridgewater. It showcased everyone’s strengths — Ginn’s speed, Bridgewater’s accuracy, and Sean Payton’s clever play design against a coverage poorly-suited to defend it. It’s the sort of thing that should lead off any and all of Bridgewater’s 2019 highlight reels.

Watch: All of Cameron Jordan’s career-high 15.5 sacks in the 2019 season

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan set a personal-best with 15.5 sacks in the 2019 season, all collected in a highlight reel.

Cameron Jordan had a career year with the New Orleans Saints in 2019, just months after he signed a hefty contract extension securing his ties with the team through 2023. Jordan logged a personal-best 15.5 sacks in 16 regular season games (plus another takedown in the playoffs), and you can watch all of them in the supercut shared by the NFL’s official Twitter account, which we’ve embedded below.

Beyond the immediate impact of all those highlight reel-worthy plays, Jordan’s sacks in 2019 caused his career total to rise to second-best in Saints history (87). The only player left for him to pass is Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Rickey Jackson, whose 115 career sacks are the most of any player to ever put on the black and gold.

Two important factors suggest that Jordan may reach that lofty goal. He just turned 30 last summer, putting him squarely in the prime of his playing career. The big defensive end has also bagged 12 or more sacks in each of the last three seasons, with little signs of slowing down. If he can keep up that pace, Jordan will be flirting with Jackson’s all-time record by 2022, when he’ll be 33. And it shouldn’t shock anyone if he end sup meeting it ahead of schedule.

WATCH: Highlights of new Broncos CB A.J. Bouye

Here are some highlights of new Broncos cornerback A.J. Bouye.

The Denver Broncos agreed to trade a fourth-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for cornerback A.J. Bouye on Tuesday. The trade won’t become official until March 18 but both teams have signed off on the deal.

Here are some highlights from Bouye’s time in the NFL before landing in Denver:

Bouye, 28, has totaled 315 tackles and 14 tackles in his career. He will instantly become one of the Broncos’ top cornerbacks.

Fury – Wilder 2 highlights: See Tyson Fury’s TKO of Deontay Wilder

See all the highlights from Tyson Fury’s seventh-round TKO of Deontay Wilder.

Tyson Fury, the Gypsy King, avenged the previous showdown between the two and handed Deontay Wilder the first loss of his boxing career late on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

It was a comprehensive victory for Fury, and a disappointing loss for Wilder, who was never able to connect on one of his massive right hands. Fury scored a (somewhat) controversial knockdown in the third round, then knocked Wilder down again in the fifth. Wilder continued on gamely for two more rounds, but appeared unable to keep his feet under him at times.

In the seventh, with Wilder bleeding from his ear and getting pummeled in the corner, his corner finally threw in the towel, ending the fight.

Despite Fury’s dominance, boxing fans stayed transfixed on the fight because Wilder’s ability to take someone down with one punch meant he was always in the fight. This time, however, Fury kept Wilder at bay, and no massive punch ever came.

Broncos throwback: Von Miller dominated the 2011 NFL combine

Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller had an impressive performance at the 2011 NFL combine.

The 2020 NFL combine will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis next week, giving NFL hopefuls a chance to impress scouts, coaches and executives ahead of the draft.

The nearing arrival of the 2020 combine has brought back memories of Von Miller’s brilliant performance at the 2011 combine. The Broncos shared highlights of Miller’s combine on their official Twitter page Tuesday:

Miller ran a 40-yard dash in 4.42 seconds, the second-best time among outside linebackers at the combine. His 37-inch vertical jump ranked third among OLBs and his 6.7-second three-cone time ranked second among OLBs. Miller’s 4.06-second 20-yard shuttle ranked first at his position.

After his impressive combine, Miller was selected by Denver with the second overall pick in the draft. He went on to become the team’s all-time leader in sacks and took home Super Bowl MVP honors after helping the Broncos defeat the Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season.

Watch: Kenny Golladay’s best catches of 2019

NFL.com released a highlight video of Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay featuring his best catches from the 2019 season.

When the NFL starts cutting up highlight reel videos from a player’s season, you know they’re expecting big things from him in the future.

And after leading the NFL in touchdown receptions and making his first Pro Bowl in 2019, it’s no surprise Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay earned a video highlight reel.

In the video, the NFL focuses on some of the spectacular catches made by Golladay during the 2019 season. Let’s take a look at which catches were featured.

In Week 2 versus the Los Angles Chargers, Golladay had two terrific grabs, including a tiptoe down the sideline catch and the game-winning touchdown catch down the seam.

Golladay’s Week 4 catch in between four Chiefs may have been the catch — and throw — of the year, but that wasn’t the only great touchdown catch that game, as he also made another catch that earned him a spot on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football’s “Toe Drag Swag” feature.

Next up was “Monday Night Football” in Week 6, where the Lions opened up the game with a flea-flicker that Golladay was on the receiving end of.

In Week 8, Golladay nearly replicated the catch that earned him the Toe Drag Swag honors.

The Lions traveled to Oakland — for what appears to be the final time — in Week 9 and Golladay showed off his speed, quickness, and power after the catch in a 59-yards touchdown reception.

Week 10 brought a change at quarterback for the Lions and Golladay was on the receiving end of Jeff Driskel’s first touchdown pass as a Lion — a 47-yard touchdown bomb.

Week 11 versus the Cowboys, Driskel quickly learned, if Golladay is singled up in coverage, toss it up to him and he’ll likely come down with the catch.

By Thanksgiving, the Lions were on their third quarterback in David Blough, but Golladay continued to produce. On Blough’s second pass attempt of his career, Golladay broke through the defense for a 75-yard touchdown. Golladay would make yet another deep grab later in the game.

Week 14 against the Vikings brought another pair of fantastic catches, including a sideline grab in the first half and an over the top touchdown grab in the final quarter.

Golladay’s final two receptions in the video came against the Buccaneers in Week 15 and Packers in Week 17.

You can watch all the catches listed, in the video below:
