Hits game-winner in preseason debut Smyth converted his lone field-goal atttempt during Saturday's 16-14 victory over Arizona. Impact Smyth got his first and only chance for a field goal with eight seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, and he did not disappoint hitting a 37-yarder to seal the victory for New Orleans. The 22-year-old first got on the field for the opening kickoff of the second half, as returning starter Blake Grupe handled the kicking duties in the first half. However, Grupe did step back in for the team's only point-after-attempt of the second half, and he went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries for the game. Smyth joined New Orleans through the NFL's International Player Pathway by way of Ireland, and he's likely still considered a longshot to unseat Grupe as the Saints' starting kicker this preseason. His next opportunity will come in Sunday's road contest against the 49ers.
