We’ve already talked about

The Saints are 10-4 in games with Atlanta when Hill was available, and he’s been a critical piece to their success.
Hill has logged
62 carries against the Falcons at
7.1 yards per attempt, a total of
438 yards on the ground.
He’s also made plays through the air.
Hill has caught all 10 targets thrown his way in games with the Falcons, gaining exactly 100 yards and scoring a touchdown.
And when asked to throw he’s gone
57-of-75 for 702 yards and 4 touchdowns, without a single interception.
Add all that up and
Hill has touched the ball 147 times across 14 games, totaling 1,240 all-purpose yardage while scoring 9 touchdowns.

Saints have lost 5 of their last 6 games without Taysom Hill
View attachment 224050
Don’t let anyone tell you Taysom Hill isn’t an important part of the New Orleans Saints’ success.
After Sunday’s defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles, they have lost 5 of their last 6 games without him, putting up just 15.3 points per game.
Hill has missed just 8 regular season matchups since he became a regular piece of the offense back in 2018, and the Saints are 3-5 in those matchups.
With Hill active and taking snaps on offense (he only played special teams as a rookie in 2017), the Saints averaged 26.6 points per game across 94 matchups.
That number falls to 17.6 points per game in the eight kickoffs he’s had to miss, including Sunday’s loss to the Eagles. That’s a major swing.
You can take away outliers like their 2021 losses to the Miami Dolphins (20-3) and Buffalo Bills (31-6), and they’re still averaging 4 fewer points per game w/o Hill.
And it matches what we’ve seen in these games. The offense lacks an element of physicality when Hill isn’t out there.
They don’t have many players who are willing to bowl over a defender in the open field and set the tone.
Hill’s versatility is missed, too; Alvin Kamara’s doomed wildcat rushing attempt against Philly was a textbook short yardage play for Hill that he typically converts.
Just having Hill out there as a chess piece who can help keep the defense honest and dictate coverage matchups is valuable. The Saints need him.
We didn’t count playoff games for this exercise, but the Saints lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 without Hill on the field, too (30-20).
He led the team in rushing yards a year earlier in their playoff exit against the Minnesota Vikings.
Other players need to step up and fill his niche on offense as tone-setters who can fight for tough yardage.
Until that happens, every absence is going to continue to make an outsized impact on the scoreboard.

That looks more like a Dirty Bird leg in the Pic than a Turkey leg. Either way, let Taysom Hill feast tomorrow. He should be hungry.
