The New Orleans Saints (7-2) sent the NFL world into a frenzy when they announced that Taysom Hill, not Jameis Winston was going to start on Sunday with Drew Brees sidelined for a few weeks with injuries to his ribs and lung . The move was unusual for several reasons, not the least being that Winston threw for over 5,000 yards last season, while Hill has thrown a grand total of 18 passes in his NFL career. Undeterred, Sean Payton stuck to his gun, as the Saints faced their bitter rivals Atlanta Falcons (3-6) in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, trying to extend their winning streak to seven games.
