Jeff Blake helped turn the New Orleans Saints' 2000 season around with this 29-yard touchdown pass. While the Chicago Bears took an early lead on their home turf, it was all New Orleans from the second quarter on, with the Saints winning 31-10. This fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Blake to Andrew Glover is our pick for the Saints Play of the Day. You can see the highlight reel from the for yourself right here, but Glover's touchdown catch didn't make the cut. You'll have to settle for the two touchdowns Blake threw to Joe Horn earlier in the game instead.
A win on the road over the Bears sparked a six-game winning streak and sent the Saints to the postseason, where "Hakim dropped the ball" and New Orleans won its first playoff game in franchise
history. They struggled to keep those winning ways going into the next few years, but the best was yet to come. And none of it would have happened without Blake winning the day that Sunday in Chicago.
