Saints Nation’s 10 Worst Plays of 2014: #4 Jimmy Graham’s “Fail Mary” OPI vs. 49ers

This is only a “worst play” because it took us from about 3 seconds of miraculous bliss to a win being taken away by the referee. I think I agree with the call but there’s no question it was a flop. And as much as Graham gets brutalized before the ball gets there on half of his targets without a flag ever coming, it sucks he couldn’t get a pass here. It was a tremendous catch by Graham, though, and it’s a bummer the result didn’t stand. Instead, the Saints would lose in overtime and this loss would send them into a tailspin. Since that game the Saints still maintain a 5 game home losing streak, which feels just insane.

The not top 10:

#4 Graham’s OPI vs. 49ers

#5 Entire Panthers home game

#6 Colston’s fumble at Falcons

#7 Rafael Bush’s PI at Lions

#8 Brees pick at Lions late

#9 Brees pick vs. Falcons in week 16

#10 Brown 4th down conversion
