It wasn't exactly a ball glued to a helmet, but the Saints now have their own highlight against the New England Patriots on a play where the quarterback appeared sacked.
The play came inside the 2-minute warning of the first half, with the Saints attempting to take advantage of a Mac Jones interception and PJ Williams run back into the red zone.
The Patriots pass-rush got after Jameis Winston for a sack on the previous play and got there again on 3rd down, but Jameis Winston decided to throw the ball up to the back of the end zone as he was falling to the turf.

It appeared to be an ill-advised pass, but found Marquez Callaway's hands at the back of the end zone as he battled a defensive back for his first career touchdown. The score put the Saints up 14-0 and meant the team didn't have to run out kicker Aldrick Rosas for another attempt after he missed his first two of the day.
The pass also wasn't nearly as dangerous as it appeared to be in live action, with a foul called on the defender for chucking Callaway to the turf at the top of his route.
New England drove for a field goal on the final possession of the half to trim New Orleans' lead to 14-3, and would receive the ball after halftime.
