Take a bow, Bryce Lance. The New Orleans Saints rookie scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in the second quarter of Sunday's game with the New York Giants. It was a nice moment of redemption for him after Lance had a bad drop earlier in the game.

Lance has had to play a lot of snaps after the Saints lost their first-round pick for the first part of the season; Jordyn Tyson is still recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered in the preseason. While Lance has only caught five passes for 57 yards in the first five games, the fourth rounder from North Dakota State has been the de facto WR3 behind Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele.
