Foster Moreau scores game-changing touchdown vs. Panthers
Former LSU tight end Foster Moreau came in clutch when the Saints needed it the most during Sunday's road contest against the Carolina Panthers.
The pass-catcher's jumping catch in the right corner of the end zone on 3rd & 7 with roughly 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter allowed the Saints to go from trailing, 17-16, to leading, 22-17.
It is Moreau's lone reception of the game for 17 yards, but it may have made all of the difference in the Saints having the chance to get the outcome they wanted in a game that shouldn't have been this close with New Orleans on the wrong side of it at this point.
Moreau entered the game with 11 catches for 150 yards and two touchdowns.
The Saints currently lead the Panthers, 22-17 with just under six minutes left to play. If they can hold on, they'll have chance to raise morale in a big way by snapping a six-game losing streak.
It'll be a solid first step in getting things back on the right track, even if it comes against arguably the worst team in the NFL.
