We’ll file this one for consideration in this week’s “Not Top 10” plays. New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill fumbled a snap out of shotgun while dropping back further against the New York Jets, and turned to corral the loose ball — with one of his former teammates closing in on him for a New York sack. Hill recovered the fumble, but Sheldon Rankins was credited with the 19-yard loss on the play.
Rankins, of course, left the Saints in free agency earlier this year after five seasons in black and gold. The team’s first round draft pick in 2016 struggled with injuries throughout his career and was questionable to play at all this week, but he was able to gut it out. And he ended up making an impact.
Good for him, but sheesh, couldn’t he have waited another week?
