Your RedZone review of every touchdown scored in Sunday’s morning and afternoon games can be seen above, but we’ll start this week’s specific Splash Plays review with a trio of moments that helped the New Orleans Saints pull the Atlanta Falcons from the realms of the undefeated with a 31-27 upset. Chris Ivory’s TD run Halfway through the first quarter, Saints running back Chris Ivory hit the right edge, broke a bunch of pseudo-tackles, and made Atlanta’s usually stout run defense look positively silly. Lance Moore’s one-handed grab Early in the third quarter, and with the Saints holding a 21-17 lead, receiver Lance Moore took a Drew Brees throw over the middle, took it in with one hand and full extension, and kept the drive going. The 29-yard play upped the momentum, and Brees ended that drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Marques Colston. Jabari Greer’s big red zone stop The biggest and best Saints play preserved the lead and forced the Falcons into desperation time. With 1:46 left in the game, Atlanta had fourth-and-goal at the New Orleans 2-yard line. Roddy White ran a crossing route that’s going to work 99 out 100 times, but this was the exception — because Saints cornerback Jabari Greer stepped in and made the killer deflection. Trindon Holliday’s return touchdown … and premature celebration For the second straight week, the Denver Broncos speedster hit a return for a score … but upon further review, it would appear that Holliday flipped the ball in celebration just before he crossed the goal line. No harm, no foul, though — the refs didn’t check it (though someone is supposed to review every scoring play), and play resumed as normal in what became a decisive Denver victory. Jacoby Jones’ uncontested return touchdown No controversy here — this was just the pure speed of Baltimore Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones, as he took a kick return five years in his own end zone and zoomed upfield through a gaggle of Oakland Raiders special teamers who didn’t seem that interested in tackling him.
