There can’t be many 50-yard touchdown passes on the Saints’ record books from this decade that don’t include Drew Brees. That changed on Sunday thanks to second-year wide receiver Willie Snead.
The wide out threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Tim Hightower to drop the hammer on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Brees threw a backwards pass to Snead, who squared up and saw Hightower all alone on the far side of the field. Hightower made a Ram miss in the open field to cruise in for a score.
Snead was pumped up after the score. This makes sense, because he threw a dart to Hightower and picked up his first career passing touchdown.
When you're an NFL WR…
But can also throw BEAUTIFUL TDs. 🙌 #Saints50 pic.twitter.com/U0hKMStUgW

Total aside, we need more quarterbacks with that kind of hair flow. Look at those locks. My word.
The Saints ended up beating Los Angeles, 49-21. Snead had more passing yards than he did receiving – he caught five balls for 38 yards on the day. Still, a touchdown is a touchdown, whether you are on the giving or receiving end of a bomb down the sideline.
