Who dat in the end zone for Saints? Michael Thomas, Dat’s Who
Michael Thomas is back and he has returned to the end zone for the first time in 385 days.
The elite New Orleans Saints’ wide receiver has battled ankle woes in the regular season. He looked sharp on Sunday in an NFC Wild-Card game against the Chicago Bears.
Thomas was on the receiving end of a scoring pass from Drew Brees in the first quarter as New Orleans opened a 7-0 lead.
