The New Orleans Saints secondary picked off Jameis Winston FOUR times on Sunday.

Demario Davis, Vonn Bell, P.J. Williams (filling in for injured Marshon Lattimore), and Marcus Williams all joined in on the parade of interceptions. Marcus Williams’ interception went for a pick-six for the New Orleans Saints’ last touchdown of the day.
