The New Orleans Saints were short-handed at linebacker during Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, with starters Kiko Alonso and A.J. Klein sidelined by injuries. The team re-signed former starter Manti Te’o earlier in the week but went with backups Craig Robertson and Stephone Anthony to start the game.
As luck would have it, Robertson ended up being in the right place at the right time to snag an interception early in the second half. 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo targeted wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders but the pass deflected off of Sanders’ hands and into Robertson’s waiting mitts, granting the Saints a lucky turnover.
