The play: With Philip Rivers working from the shotgun, Dontrelle Inman runs a stutter and go from the slot, coaxing Quintin Demps to take the bait and sprinting past the Houston safety for a pretty, 52-yard touchdown reception.

Snead becomes the first Saints non-QB to throw a TD pass since Deuce McAllister in 2001.
