Baltimore Ravens’ Will Hill Thrills With Pick 6 (Video)
By Phil Watson
The Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints were tied in the third quarter of their game Monday night until Ravens safety Will Hill interjected.
Drew Brees’ first mistake of the night proved very costly to the New Orleans Saints.
Brees, looking for tight end Jimmy Graham to convert a third-and-7, was intercepted by Baltimore Ravens’ safety Will Hill, who caught the ball in stride and just kept running 44 yards for a touchdown.
Hill’s bolt out of the blue gave Baltimore a 24-17 lead with 4:59 to go in the third quarter.
The Ravens had trailed 17-14 at halftime before Justin Tucker booted a 31-yard field goal to cap Baltimore’s opening possession of the second half.

Hill’s pick came on the Saints’ first drive after intermission.
For Hill, playing just his fifth game of the season after serving a six-game suspension, it was his first interception since last Dec. 22, when he was still with the New York Giants.
That INT was also a pick-six in a 23-20 Giants’ win at Detroit.
Hill now has three career interceptions. The third-year safety was undrafted out of Florida in 2012 and after spending some time with the Arizona Rattlers in the Arena Football League, he signed with the Giants, but sat out a four-game suspension for using Adderall.
The suspension this year came for another violation of the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
