VIDEO: Saints WR Tre'Quan Smith Somehow Holds on to Pass After Getting Helmet Knocked off on Big Hit
By Andy Loughmiller
The New Orleans Saints are currently trailing in their Week 10 NFL matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, but they're not going down without a fight. Wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith put his body on the line for the Saints and came up with a ridiculous catch over the middle. He held on to the ball despite having his helmet knocked off by a Falcons defensive back.

Smith was surrounded by three Falcons defenders when he hauled in the Drew Brees pass to convert a 3rd and 8 and move the chains. This reception took a remarkable amount of concentration and sheer toughness.
The Saints are going to need more plays like this if they want to take the lead against their division rival. They are trailing by a score of 20-9 and it's not looking good.
