LIVE SCORE

━━━━
THE HIGHLIGHTS
TAYSOM OOPS
The Taysom playbook giveth ... the Taysom playbook taketh away. After a holding penalty on Adam Trautman set up the Saints behind the chains, it was Hill called upon to push it deep to Deonte Harris. But Giants star cornerback James Bradberry played it perfectly to pull down the interception.
━━━━
TAYSOM SMASH
Try to tackle Taysom Hill at the goal-line. Seriously, it's worth a shot ... no one else has been able to do it. The Swiss Army knife cut through the Giants tackle attempts for a go-ahead score early in the third quarter.
━━━━
MARQUEZ CALLAWAY BOMB
The Saints' top receiver was held in check in the first half, but his first grab of the game was a doozy, beating a pair of Giants defenders down the deep middle for a 58-yard gain that set up the Saints' score coming out of halftime.
━━━━
HALF: Saints 7, Giants 7
━━━━
JUWAN JOHNSON STRIKES AGAIN
The converted wide receiver Juwan Johnson only has six catches on the year, but half of them have gone for red zone touchdowns. Jameis Winston put it up high for the big man again, and Johnson went up and secured it for a much-needed score to draw even before halftime.
━━━━
TY MONTGOMERY WITH THE CLUTCH CONVERSION
The Saints are thin on running backs, so naturally they'd throw the RB they converted to wide receiver on a critical third-down to extend a drive late in the first half. The play went for 19 yards on 3rd and 9 and set up the Saints' lone score of the first half. They also turned it over on downs and missed a field goal attempt from 58 yards.
━━━━
JOHN ROSS IS ... STILL FAST
It was a defensive struggle, but the Giants took full advantage of their returning speed threat of John Ross III, who came off injured reserve this week. Daniel Jones slung it downfield to Ross, who hauled it in on the post route, but appeared to fumble the ball short of the goal line. The play was reviewed and confirmed as a fumble, but Ross alertly jumped back on the ball in the end zone and was credited with a touchdown.
