Jameis Winston and the New Orleans Saints could've just taken a knee going into halftime against the Washington Football Team, content to be tied on the road. Needless to say, their aggression paid off.
With the game knotted up at 14-14 and the pass rush bearing down on him as the game clocked ticked toward zeroes, Winston threw a Hail Mary from the wrong side of the 50-yard line that was caught in a crowd by Marquez Callaway.

Good thing Sean Payton didn't kneel on the ball!
The Saints entered Week 5 at 2-2 following a hard-fought loss to the New York Giants last Sunday.
Winston, who beat out Taysom Hill to be New Orleans' starting quarterback in training camp, has emerged as one of the most pleasant surprises in football over the first few weeks of the regular season. The former No. 1 overall draft pick began Sunday's action with 613 passing yards while completing 64 percent of his throws, with eight touchdowns compared to two interceptions.
Callaway, undrafted in 2020 after four years at Tennessee, had nine catches for 137 yards—second on the team—and a score over the Saints' first four games.
