There are 94 days to go until the New Orleans Saints start their 2025 season, which makes one of Cameron Jordan’s best moments our pick for the Saints Play of the Day.
Facing the archrival Atlanta Falcons back in 2019 with an NFC South title on the line, Jordan led the Saints defense with a standout performance that won him recognition as the NFC Defensive Player of the Week. Jordan was credited with four sacks, six tackles, and a pass deflection on the Thanksgiving Day nightcap.

And his best play of the day sealed the win for New Orleans. Jordan sacked Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan for a fourth time on fourth down. Holding onto a 26-18 lead with the possibility of overtime in play, Jordan rushed off the left side and got past rookie first-round pick Kaleb McGary. Ryan never saw him coming, and Jordan brought the QB down for a turnover on downs with just seconds remaining. Drew Brees kneeled to run out the clock and the Saints won the day, and a division championship, too. You can see that highlight and all of Jordan’s big plays here.
