In a battle between two teams nobody predicted to be 4-4 midway through the season, New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees kept hope alive with a remarkable spinning touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham that pulled the Saints within one score in an NFC battle against the San Francisco 49ers.
With two defenders bearing down on the eight-time Pro Bowler and more on their way, Brees split the duo with a spin move normally seen in video games and found his All-Pro tight end in the front of the end zone.
A former forward on University of Miami's basketball team, Graham used his box-out skills to pin San Francisco cornerback Chris Culliver behind him. Of course, it helps Graham stands 6 feet, 7 inches tall, even if he's been battling a shoulder injury the past few weeks.
Remarkably, Brees pulled off another elusive move to avoid a sack on the Saints' next drive, finding Mark Ingram on a shovel pass. The Saints trailed the Niners 21-17 in the fourth quarter.
