A ten-yard touchdown from Drew Brees to Josh Hill opened up the scoring for the Saints as New Orleans take a 7-0 lead over the Tennessee Titans

The New Orleans Saints (4-4) went up 7-0 on the Tennessee Titans (1-6) as tight end Josh Hill hauled in a ten yard touchdown pass from quarterback Drew Brees.

It was the first catch of the night for Hill and Brees ended the drive by completing four of four passes for 75 yards as he carved up the Titans defense with ease.

For Hill, this was the second touchdown catch on the season which has been rather disappointing considering he was hyped up during the offseason as the potential replacement for Jimmy Graham, whom the team traded to Seattle in the offseason.

Instead Hill finds himself behind journeyman veteran Benjamin Watson who has stepped up in the starting role for the Saints.

Reports surfaced earlier that head coach Sean Payton could be on his way out of town, but the team is not playing like their coach has anything other than today’s game on its mind.

New Orleans started the year 0-3 and looked to be headed for a bad season as an injured Brees missed games and was ineffective. Now they are looking for their fifth win in the last six games since the rough start.

Tennessee is heading out with interim coach Mike Mularkey after firing Ken Whisenhunt following their terrible start to the 2015 season.
