The New Orleans Saints are playing with some fire. In Darren Rizzo's first game as their head coach, they made a massive play on special teams – because of course they did. 

Nearing halftime, they blocked a field goal to keep a ten point lead entering the break. 

Rizzi reaction

Rizzi's reaction to the block as exploded on social media. People are loving his emotion and ferocity on the sideline. Some folks are already rooting for him to get the long-term HC job in New Orleans. 

There is plenty more to earning a head coaching position in the NFL, but Rizzi may win some sort of award for excitement this weekend. He will assuredly get an interview after the season to become the Saints' next coach. 

One thing is clear right now, though. These players are playing fired up for him against Atlanta.
