When the Saints kicked off after that TD, I couldn’t help but recall the history of the teams and an OM connection..
Back in Sept 1967 at Tulane Stadium against the LA Rams, John Gilliam retuned the opening kickoff 94 yards for a TD… That was the very first play in the history of the Saints..
Meanwhile, Tampa Bay had never returned a KO for a TD until Dec 2007 when Micheal Spurlock returned a KO 90 yards against the Atlanta Falcons.. The former OM QB earned a place in NFL history with that return..
