ORLANDO – A total of 11 former Knights saw action in Week 4 of the NFL season this weekend, including New Orleans Saints Tre'Quan Smith and Latavius Murray, who each scored a pair of touchdowns in a win over the Detroit Lions.
Smith finished with four catches and 54 yards receiving connected with Drew Brees on two second-quarter touchdowns from 2 yards and 20 yards out. It marked the 11th and 12th touchdown receptions of Smith's career and just the second time he has scored multiple times in a game.

He scored from three yards out in the first quarter and then from six yards out in the third to lead the Saints to the 35-29 victory. It was the ninth multi-touchdown game in his career and he now has found the end zone 41 times in seven seasons.
