12 and 0!<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Meachem had two of perhaps the top five or 10 plays in team history in a 33-30 overtime win<\/a> over the Redskins, a victory that clinched the NFC South title and preserved the magical unbeaten run for New Orleans (12-0). The plays could become even bigger if this season goes where it seems to be headed. Meachem sent the game to OT when he caught a 53-yard touchdown pass from Brees, 27 seconds after Washington kickerShaun Suisham<\/a> botched a 23-yard field goal attempt. If Suisham made that kick, the Redskins would have taken a seemingly insurmountable 33-23 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n As corny as that may sound, it\u2019s the truth. Not just for Meachem, but for all the Saints. They got outplayed by a bad team almost all game and still won.<\/span><\/p>\n \n [From Saints — and Meachem — lucky and good – NFL Nation Blog – ESPN<\/cite><\/a>]\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Saints 12 and 0!
