The New Orleans Saints got an otherworldly performance from Taysom Hill in their 35-14 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 11. Hill is a utility knife that defenses struggle to stop when he gets going.

Darren Rizzi discussed Taysom’s increased usage for Week 11. There were clear plans to get him the football more often, starting from the first drive of the game for Klint Kubiak’s unit.
“Yes. When he touches the ball, it affects the game tremendously. And sometimes he doesn’t even have to touch the ball, he can just affect the game by being on the field.”
“We looked at tape and collectively felt that we gotta get this guy the ball – get him more involved. If you look at our wins this season, Taysom’s numbers are pretty good.”
“Kudos to Taysom for responding. No surprise. That’s Taysom. … I know he was pissed at halftime. … He’s the poster child for resiliency. I’m certainly happy as heck we have that guy on our team.”

The Saints coach also mentioned that New Orleans is “happy as heck” to have Hill on their team. He truly appreciates his grit and effort.
