Few things in football match the thrill of an interception, especially when a 324-pound defensive tackle pulls it off against Patrick Mahomes and showcases surprising speed right after.<\/p><p>In a Monday night showdown at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, the Chiefs were ahead of the Saints 16-7, with less than two minutes left in the third quarter. <\/p><p>The Chiefs looked set to extend their lead as Mahomes faced a 2nd-and-goal at the Saints&rsquo; 2-yard line. But when Mahomes targeted JuJu Smith-Schuster, Saints cornerback Paulson Adebo deflected the pass, and it landed right in the hands of defensive tackle Khalen Saunders.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instead of just securing the ball, Saunders proved that big men can move fast too<\/h2><p>Khalen Saunders sprinted for 37 yards, and for a moment, it looked like the hefty Saints defender might just go all the way for a touchdown. Clocking in at a top speed of 15.79 mph, Saunders became the third-fastest ball carrier over 320 pounds recorded since 2016.<\/p><p>The play energized the Saints, who capitalized on the momentum to score a touchdown on their next drive, cutting the Chiefs&rsquo; lead to 16-13.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Touchback?

I\u2019m not some lifelong analyst or stats guru, truth being told, you\\'ve probably never heard of me!\u2014I just know how to research, write, and make things sound good. That\u2019s the job! Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama\u2014whatever needs words. Favorite part? The chaos. One day it\\'s a blockbuster trade, the next it\\'s a goat running onto the field. Never boring. Message to readers: If you want deep analysis, there are people for that. If you want sharp, no-BS writing that actually makes sense, stick around.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/n.a.t.a.s.h.a.2\/"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/natasha-bosetheplayoffs-news\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":750,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748\/revisions\/750"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
