Taysom Hill matches Daunte Culpepper's historic feat in first career start; Sean Payton evaluates performance - CBS Sports

Hill finished 18 of 23 for 233 yards and recorded a 108.9 passer rating, with no touchdown passes and no interceptions.

Of those seven quarterbacks in that category, he joins Stan Humphries as the only quarterback to average over 10 yards per pass attempt (Hill averaged 10.1 yards per attempt Sunday). .

Hill also rushed for 51 yards and two touchdowns (and a lost fumble), leading the Saints in both categories.

He joined Daunte Culpepper as the only players in the Super Bowl era with at least 40 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in their first start at quarterback (Culpepper accomplished the feat in Week 1 of the 2000 season). .

"I thought that he played well," said Saints head coach Sean Payton, evaluating Hill's performance.

The Saints were just 4 of 11 (36.7%) on third down, but scored on 3 of 4 red zone trips and averaged 6.1 yards per play

Their season average on third down was 47.9% and scoring touchdowns on red zone attempts was 65% heading into Week 11

The Falcons also have a bottom five defense in yards allowed, which the Saints took advantage of to the tune of 378 yards

He was ready for the moment every day," said Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, who finished with nine catches for 104 yards
