Saints Pull Off Wild Win Over Texans With Last-Second Field Goal on MNF

In a wild ending to the first edition of Monday Night Football this season, the Saints pulled off a game-winning field goal to beat the Texans 30-28.

The magic happened after the Texans scored on a two-play drive with under a minute to play. Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills. The Saints missed the extra point but a roughing the kicker penalty was called on the Texans, and the second attempt was good.

Leaving just 37 seconds on the clock for the Saints, New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees quickly led a six-play drive downfield to put the Saints in field goal position.
