(Staff photo by David Grunfeld, The Times-Picayune | ) New Orleans Saints wide receiver nearly put together an NFL preseason all-time play just before halftime of the game against the Tennessee Titans Sunday.
Titans kicker Bryan Narveson was attempting a 58-yard field goal at the end of the second quarter, but his try came up short, and Nacua was there to catch the ball for a return. Nacua hauled in the ball just inside the back of the end zone and took off with the ball up the field, weaving through the Titans. An INCREDIBLE effort from Samson Nacua taking it 106 yards.
.. 3 yards away from a Kick-6 😠📺 FOX Saints special teams coach had to be pleased with the blocking that Nacua received, setting up the BYU product for a return of 106 yards.
It appeared that Nacua was going to cross the goal line for a touchdown, but Titans tight end Thomas Odukoya raced in to force the receiver out at the 3-yard line. Plenty of Saints came up to congratulate Nacua on the long return, but the half ended with the Titans still leading 13-10 in the Caesars Superdome..
