After surrendering a touchdown to the Atlanta Falcons in the second quarter, the New Orleans Saints looked to be on the verge of getting a score of their own on the very next drive. Quarterback Drew Brees hit tight end Jared Cook for a huge 40-yard gain, setting them up inside the 10-yard line.

Instead of six points, the Saints had to settle for three because of this blunder from their tight end.
