NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans Saints receiver Samson Nacua's 106-yard return of a missed field goal is a highlight he'll cherish and regret. He appreciated the opportunity to put his athleticism on display during a sideline-to-sideline runback lasting nearly 20 seconds as time expired in the first half. He regretted not finding a way to turn it into points before he was forced out of bounds at the Tennessee 3-yard line. Nacua, the older brother of Rams receiver Puka Nacua, says he should have pitched the ball to a nearby teammate before Titans tight end Thomas Odukoya caught him.
