What's your favorite New Orleans Saints Thanksgiving Day memory?

My favorite Thanksgiving Day game in New Orleans Saints franchise history was their first appearance on the holiday, a 30-27 shootout win over the Dallas Cowboys during the 2010 season. As for my favorite play, there are plenty to choose from. Several standout moments from that 2010 victory in Dallas, along with numerous during back-to-back Thanksgiving Day wins over the rival Atlanta Falcons in 2018 and 2019.

An easy choice would be when New Orleans defensive lineman Shy Tuttle made an acrobatic interception and famously stiff-armed Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan into oblivion during the return. I'm staying in that same 2019 game for my favorite Thanksgiving moment, but I'll go with Cameron Jordan, the New Orleans legend and Atlanta tormentor. Jordan had 4 sacks of Ryan in that 2019 showdown, a 26-18 New Orleans victory in Atlanta. Two of those sacks came during the Falcons final drive.

Needing a touchdown and 2-point conversion to tie, the Falcons recovered an onside kick and were set up near midfield with just under two minutes to play. Jordan sacked Ryan for a short loss on the opening play of the drive, then Demario Davis and Sheldon Rankins followed with back-to-back sacks a few plays later, but one was nullified by a defensive penalty against the Saints. Atlanta pushed the ball over midfield, but stalled into a 4th and 8 situation with just 50 seconds remaining. Jordan again broke through the Falcons offensive line to sack Ryan to clinch the New Orleans victory. It was one of 25 sacks that Cam Jordan had against the Falcons in his tremendous career, but arguably the most important takedown to give his team the holiday win.
