VIDEO: Drew Brees Fires Saints Into the Lead With TD Passes to Taysom Hill and Tre'Quan Smith
By Michael Luciano
New Orleans Saints quarterback/running back/punt protector/special teamer Taysom Hill might need to add wide receiver to his ever-growing list of titles. The Saints cut into the Houston Texans lead on Monday Night Football when Drew Brees found Hill for his first touchdown pass of the season. Hill's touchdown made it a 21-17 game.

While some view Hill as nothing more than a carnival sideshow that is in the game so Sean Payton can look cool, he's proving that he can be a reliable offensive weapon for one of the best offenses in football. And he wasn't the only one coming up big for the Saints in the second half. Just ask Tre'Quan Smith.

Just like that, after sleepwalking through the early stages of the game and falling behind Houston, the hometown boys are finally in front. A little Monday night mayhem never hurt anyone, folks.
