After the injury of superstar Drew Brees, the New Orleans Saints had to think about something in the quarterbacl position.
Instead of James Winston, coach Sean Payton put the reins of the Super Bowl candidate in the hands of Taysom Hill phenomenon. (SERVICE: All games and results)
He had previously made ten passes to his teammate in his career – as a pure thrower he did not play brilliantly in the last two games.

Hill runs strong – but can he throw?
After 18 of 23 affixed passes in the first career start against the Atlanta Falcons it was just 9 out of 16 against the Denver Broncos last week. But: The Saints won both games – 24: 9 against Atlanta, 31: 3 against Denver.
And Hill even delivered two rushing touchdowns in both games. The second leg against the Falcons is on Sunday (Week 13 of the NFL from 7 p.m. in the live scores).
Falcons Defense makes raiders suffer
Then the quarterback may have to show that he can throw. Because the Falcons will have learned their lessons from the 9:24 when Hill was on the field for the first time for the entire season, and come up with something in defense with more preparation.
In the terrific 43: 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders in week 12, Atlanta’s otherwise holey D presented itself shockingly well – is Hill now feeling that too?
In the first game, the quarterback had produced a ball loss against the Falcons by fumble.
