The Saints offense hasn’t done anything on Sunday, but safety Justin Reid was able to put his team on the board.
A pass by Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins to tight end Kyle Pitts was broken up by cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry and the ball caromed to Reid for a 49-yard interception return. The score cut Atlanta’s lead to 10-7 with under seven minutes to play in the first half.
The defensive touchdown was big because the Saints have only managed 59 yards of offense on their four possessions.
Moving the ball won’t get any easier without running back Alvin Kamara. The veteran went to the locker room with a knee injury and is called questionable to return.
