description

Battling an up-and-coming NFC foe positioned to give its franchise better days ahead, Saints star Marques Colston used 2011’s Wild Card Weekend to introduce Detroit to a QB-WR combination that had already dominated the game for years. In need of separation with the Lions closing in on the scoreboards, New Orleans’ 1,000-yard machine offered the must-have play, streaking downfield to collect a perfectly-placed over-the-shoulder catch for 40 yards. Creator of big plays all throughout Jan. 7, 2012’s 45-28 win, Colston overwhelmed the opposition by putting together a seven-catch, 120-yard outing, securing his team’s spot in the following week’s Divisional Round.
