Around the Shield – it was a long time since Tessam Hill Completed a touchdown pass before Sunday’s NFL kickoff between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons.
If you believe the math conducted on Fox Sports by the NFL broadcast crew during Sunday morning’s broadcast, it was 1,471 days, which is behind Hill’s senior year at BYU – but who counts?
Hill puts those numbers to bed on Sunday afternoon, and the only number she was counting on was 3-0 (the record of Saints under Hill in 2020) and 10-2 – the goal of becoming the first NFL team to reach New Orleans to clinch a playoff birth.
Hill threw for his first touchdown pass since his final year at BYU, then threw another one for the Saints ’21-26 win over the Falcons on Sunday afternoon from the start of his third career in the quarterback.
The former BYU stand completed a 27-of-3 pass for 232 yards and two touchdowns and added another 83 yards on 14 carries in the Saints win, including a late goal-line stand by the New Orleans defense.
“I don’t care as much as people can think about statistics and all of these things,” said Hill, who made a number of postgame comments on Saints ’press corps with‘ Look ’, which he often referred to as BYU. “I’m worried about winning football games. I know there’s been a lot of talk about this; but as long as we win football games, I’m happy. I was definitely happy because I knew it would help us win. And I was happy for Tre’Quan too. “

Hill will set Traikuan Smith for his first career touchdown with a 15-yard score with 7:01 left in the first quarter and his first since a 10-yard touchdown against Mitchell Jurgens against Utah State on November 26th. 2016.
He then broke the streak of futility by passing 1,471 to tight-end Jared Cook, including an 11-yard TD strike, which gave the Saints a 10-6 halftime lead.
“He’s doing everything we can, and then some,” Cook said of Drew Breeze, who started with a rib injury and entered the spares and cut his lungs. “He’s been a huge player for us right now and he’s moved on at the moment.”
Hill’s legs were also a weapon, but he also made many mistakes. The Falcons swept back in the game in the second half as the quarterback tumbled three, losing one. After an 11-yard touchdown by Alvin Camara in the third quarter, the Falcons came back in the fourth with a 10-yard strike by Matt Ryan.
But the Atlanta (4-8) Saints couldn’t get any closer against the defense which included the former Utah star safety Marcus Williams, Who had seven tackles and a winning pass breakup. Its chances may not be as flashy in highlight reels and headlines, but they are just as important.
Williams said, “I don’t talk much. I come out here and do my job.” “I just have to keep working and get better every week.”
The New Orleans caught the Falcons in third at 5-of-13, and kept three scoring drives for fielding goals – which key coach Sean Peto called the key to victory.
Payton, who made Hill the champion after receiving an uncertified free agent prior to the 2017 season, also claimed responsibility for the lost fumble.
“I didn’t like my call from where we were in the game,” Patton said. “Every once in a while, I regret a situation – and it’s definitely one of them.
“Ball security has to improve when he’s a runner. He’ll start looking for him, but, when we’re in fourth, he’s crucial.”
Still, the Saints have improved 8-0 in the last two seasons without Bryce, a run that includes three quarterbacks, including Hill.
Those are the statistics that could fall behind Hill.
“At the end of the day, I’m happy we got three wins (from Breeze’s injury),” Hill said. “These are the statistics I care about the most. As far as my own development is concerned, I think I’ve become more and more comfortable in running a crime. There’s a lot better way, but I’m getting more overall. Comfortable. . “
