NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers weren't having an easy time moving the ball with their starting offensive units in the first half of their game at the Caesars Superdome.

So the Saints' special-teamers took it upon themselves to get some momentum going.

Saints linebacker Nephi Sewell rushed free to get a hand on Johnny Hekker's punt attempt with less than five minutes remaining in the second quarter. Linebacker D'Marco Jackson came in for the scoop-and-score, running into the end zone for the first touchdown of his career.
