On the last play before that FG attempt there was 6 seconds left. Brees threw to a receiver on a quick 7-8 yard slant to get in FG range.
The WR gave himself up and immediately tackled, which meant Brees was able to call the timeout with a second left.
Couldn’t the defender have just decided to not touch the WR immediately until the clock ran to zero? This isn’t college, you aren’t ruled down when you immediately hit the ground unless you’re a QB.
