NEW ORLEANS — Former BYU quarterback Taysom Hill took the shotgun snap and ran out right for his first touchdown of the season against New England in week six.
After missing the start of the season and debuting last week, Hill found the end zone for the first time in 2025.

Last season, Hill had six touchdowns on the ground through eight games before going down with a torn ACL.
In his season debut against the Giants, he completed one pass and had six rushes. In the first half against the Patriots, the one-yard TD rush was his first touch of the game.
Understandably, he’s been brought along slowly as he gets his legs back. But that didn’t stop him from punching in six for New Orleans.
