The New Orleans Saints have struggled to get points on the board in a Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, but they came up with a timely special teams play in the third quarter to set up a short field.

Saints safety J.T. Gray, who plays primarily on special teams, blocked Eagles punter Braden Mann's punt and got the Saints into Eagles territory to begin their drive with 1:35 to go in the third while leading 3-0.

Gray was able to deliver a clean block that saw the ball recovered by Saints safety Jordan Howden at the Eagles 36-yard line as seen below.

Gray is in his seventh season with the Saints and has become one of their key special teams contributors, earning All Pro honors in 2021.
