THE LAST MEETING
Commanders 22, Saints 33; Oct. 10, 2021 @ Northwest Stadium – In a game that featured a Hail Mary touchdown pass, a 72-yard bomb for a score and the continued brilliance of running back Alvin Kamara, the player who may have had the biggest impact for the New Orleans Saints in their 33-22 win over Washington Football team was punter Blake Gillikin.
Gillikin pinned the Washington Football team at the 2-yard line with a 53-yarder at the start of the fourth quarter, leading to Taylor Heinicke's second interception, this one by defensive back. P.J. Williams. New Orleans quickly cashed in again, as Winston hit Callaway on another scoring pass, this one from 12 yards. Gillikin had five punts and averaged 53.6 yards a kick.
The win was the 400th in the history of the Saints. FULL GAME RECAP
