It was a tough first three quarters for the New Orleans Saints defense on Sunday, going down 20-3 to the Cincinnati Bengals at home in the Superdome heading into the fourth quarter.

After Bengals tight end Jermaine Gresham put the Bengals up 17 with a 1-yard TD catch with 6:03 left in the third, one Saints fan made New Orleans’ best defensive play of the game, rudely intercepting Gresham’s effort to toss a souvenir to a woman in a Cincinnati jersey.

Thankfully, CBS cameras caught the entire thing as they headed to break, even showing the woman begging the man for the ball afterwards, with him fully ignoring her pleas.

Congrats to the Saints fan for going home with a souvenir football. I’m sure all the backyard games of catch with a real NFL ball will be worth the embarrassment of having to outmuscle a lady on national television in order to get it.

Update: According to the NFL Network’s Jeff Darlington, the Bengals fan ended up getting a football after all.



Somebody from Saints brought the woman a football. Meanwhile, fans in area supporting the man because "she shouldn't have been down here." — Jeff Darlington (@JeffDarlington) November 16, 2014
