With four seconds left in the first half, Titans kicker Brayden Narveson failed to make a 58-yard field goal. Saints return specialist Samson Nacua was waiting for the mistake and got the ball at the moment of the mistake. It looked like Nacua had a way to get into the end zone.

Out of nowhere, Odukoya chased after him.

The former Eastern Michigan standout appeared to rush for more than 150 total yards to chase down Nacua and prevent the Saints from scoring.
