Taysom Hill punched in a 1-yard touchdown run as the New Orleans Saints starting offense scored their first points of the preseason, capping off an impressive 95-yard drive against the San Francisco 49ers.

The beginning of the game showed Hill's effectiveness from the backfield. Hill made plays as a conventional tailback and cleared out running lanes as a lead blocker, showing off some of the quirks we've seen the Saints try out at training camp.

When a Jordan Mims run stopped just short of the goal line, Klint Kubiak called on Ol' Reliable. Taysom delivered when his name was called on fourth-and-goal.

Thiis was a low-risk gamble by Dennis Allen. The Saints either score or leave the ball on the San Francisco one yard line.

Mims' run looked like he may have barely crossed the goal line, so Allen challenged the play. The replay team decided to uphold the decision on the field as Mims' shin wasn't visible upon replay. Hill burst through the line of scrimmage and past the goal line to remove any doubt of a touchdown.
