- WATCH: Julian Blackmon seals Saints' win by picking off Lamar Jackson
How's that for a finish? The New Orleans Saints sealed their win against the Baltimore Ravens with a last-second interception off of Lamar Jackson . Jackson keyed in on a cornerback guarding his wide receiver Rashod Bateman at the sideline and tried to throw his man open by going further downfield -- but he missed veteran safety Julian Blackmon , who picked him off. That gave Tyler Shough the chance to kneel from the victory formation.
New Orleans went into this road game as heavy underdogs; many sportsbooks favored the Ravens by more than eight points. Walking into hostile territory and coming away with a win against a Super Bowl contender led by an MVP candidate can't be undersold. We talked about this game as the toughest matchup on the Saints' entire schedule. It was a huge moment for Blackmon, too, who went down with a season-ending injury after the season opener one year ago.
