Season-ending rib injuries to Drew Brees in Week 10 meant that Sean Payton would be forced to choose between Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill for the remainder of the season. In the end, coach Payton opted to go with the former BYU player Taysom Hill, who has featured frequently this season.
Hill was mostly used as a rushing threat in the final third. The 30-year-old made his start of the season last weekend against NFC South opponents, Atlanta Falcons.
He went 18 of 23, throwing for 233 yards. Hill scored two rushing touchdowns as New Orleans Saints beat the Falcons by a 24-9 scoreline.
