Instead, the Saints finished with 369 yards and had scoring drives of 75, 60 and 75 yards to go along with the one-play Hail Mary possession. Washington defenders were convinced the much-maligned unit had turned the corner after beating Atlanta last week in a victory made possible by Heinicke. Washington punted twice and turned the ball over once on those possessions. “But to have that kind of game and also get a win is great.” “I’d love to not punt at all because that means we’re doing well,” Gillikin said after getting a game ball. Gillikin had a 60-yard punt that rolled out of bounds at the 1, a 57-yarder to the 3 and a 53-yarder to the 2. Punter Blake Gillikin was an unsung star for the Saints, pinning Washington inside its 5-yard line three times. Winston’s 72-yard pass was his longest completion and scoring play of his career and the longest reception and scoring play of Harris’ career. 18, 2016, when Drew Brees threw TD passes of 45 and 65 yards to Brandin Cooks. New Orleans had two scoring plays of 45-plus yards for the first time since Dec. Your record tells everybody what you are. “I think we lack a little bit of confidence right now,” coach Ron Rivera said. Antonio Gibson ran for two touchdowns, but Washington (2-3) could not outscore another rough performance by its defense. The Saints (3-2) picked off Taylor Heinicke twice and put some pressure on him a week after not sacking the Giants’ Daniel Jones. “I think it adds an aspect to our offense. “Any time I’m catching the ball, I love it,” said Kamara, who didn’t have a reception last week in the overtime loss to the New York Giants.
Kamara also had a 23-yard TD run, returned punts in Harris’ absence and racked up 151 total yards. He also connected with Callaway on the 49-yard Hail Mary TD, found Callaway wide open from 12 yards out early in the fourth quarter and sent Washington fans to the exits with a pass to Alvin Kamara that turned into a 19-yard score. Winston completed a 72-yard touchdown pass to Deonte Harris, who departed with a hamstring injury. Winston took every snap at quarterback for the first time this season, a necessity after Taysom Hill suffered a concussion while trying to catch a pass in the second quarter. The win came at a cost with two more injuries.
