First Half
The QB-less Broncos are going to start out with Philip Lindsay in the wildcat. Kendall Hinton comes in on 3rd and short and has to throw the ball away. Broncos will have to punt on the first drive.
Saints will start the drive after the touchback on the punt. Nothing going for the Saints either. Punt incoming
Denver starts at their own 38. The first play is a reverse to KJ Hamler, Cam Jordan pushes him out of bounds. Marshon almost intercepts the deep ball from Hinton. 3 and out anyway.
Callaway returns the punt to the 28. Murray fumbles on first down, but James Hurst is there to recover it. Hill sacked again. 3 and out for the Saints.
Another 3 and out here, it’s going to be a long day.
Saints start at the 26. Almost had another one, but on 4th and 1 the Saints offense stayed out and drew Denver offsides. Alvin Kamara with a fantastic 15 yard run. We’re already at the end of 1 here. A series of short runs have gotten the Saints into the redzone. Taysom Hill with an outside run for a TD. NO 7 - DEN 0.
Taysom Hill has his third TD run in the last two weeks. #Saints
