The New Orleans Saints have used Taysom Hill in various roles in the NFC Championship Game. In the third quarter, they used him as a receiver. It worked well.
On second-and-goal, Hill lined up as a quarterback and threw an incomplete pass. The next play, Drew Brees took the familiar quarterback role and Hill split out wide. The duo connected for a two-yard touchdown.

After the Saints jumped out to a 13-0 lead, the Los Angeles Rams had fought back to a reasonable 13-10 score. This touchdown not only gave New Orleans a multi-score lead, but returned momentum to its sideline.
