With the Saints trailing the Indianapolis Colts 10–6 at the beginning of the second half, Saints head coach Sean Payton unexpectedly called for an onside kick by rookie punter and kickoff specialist Thomas Morstead.

The kick bounced off the Colts' Hank Baskett, and a fierce battle for the ball ensued.

The play was considered a key turning point in the Saints' eventual 31–17 win.
