It's working in this scenario.  And unfortunately that only going to reinforce for Payton that he should continue the trend in other situations - where it's likely not going to work as well, because, in common practice, it's a stupid strategy.

This. Especially going against Zimmer next week who'll have no problem coming up with a plan for ir.

Hill has 12 carries for 90 yards on the season, it's not as if he hasn't been getting decent yardage all season.

When you add in the special teams plays, and runs Kamara has broke due to the read option, can see why he's still going to it.

I agree Payton, being him, will get too cute and Zimmer and Viking's will squash it.

It's also providing more tape on a gimmick that could otherwise normally be depended upon in clutch situations.  It overexposes the gimmick and give more opportunity for opposing coordinators to recognize how to scheme against it when they see Hill on the field and Brees not.

A smart coach will be thinking about other games in the future and not just this one.  It would suck to lose a playoff game because another coordinator had enough reps to study of the RPO with Hill/Kamara on the field to figure out a way to blow it up in a crucial situation and it costs the Saints a playoff game, ending their season.
