In case you didn't know it already, Taysom Hill was the NFC's Offensive Player of the Week in the Saints' win over the Seahawks.
He now has the hardware after his scintillating, 4-touchdown performance in the 39-32 win, which included 119 rushing yards on nine carries and 22 yards through the air on a scoring pass to Adam Trautman.
His performance, coupled with Alvin Kamara's 194-total yards, helped the Saints snap a three-game losing skid and creep closer to .500 as the Bengals come to town. His long score of the day probably sealed this award for Taysom, coming from 60 yards out midway through the fourth quarter, and putting the Saints back in front after the Seahawks had just rallied to take a lead with a pair of touchdowns.
It's Hill's first time winning the offensive version of the award, but he did win the special teams player of the week in 2018 after he blocked a punt in an NFC South-clinching win over the Bucs. He joins Reggie Bush as the only players in Saints history to win multiple versions of the weekly honors. He also leads all Saints players in touchdowns with six.
