Taysom Hill's 2 Touchdowns Lead Saints to Week 2 Preseason Win vs. Chargers

In a battle of backup quarterbacks, the New Orleans Saints edged the Los Angeles Chargers 19-17 in Week 2 of the preseason.

Veterans Drew Brees and Philip Rivers remained on the bench, but Taysom Hill came through with 136 passing yards and two touchdowns as well as 53 rushing yards to lead his team to victory Sunday at Dignity Health Sports Park.

Wil Lutz hit the go-ahead field goal for New Orleans with 1:05 left in the fourth quarter.

Justin Jackson helped the Chargers with 33 rushing yards on eight carries in a game made for players further down the depth chart to show what they could do on the national stage.
