Cornerback Ashley Ambrose’s 73-yard interception return for a touchdown against Tampa Bay was named the NFL play of the week in voting by fans around the nation.


Ambrose’s pick was one of two he had during the game. He also picked off a pass that set up the Saints other touchdown of the game.


The honor follows a similar one for receiver Joe Horn who was credited with having the NFL play of the week one week earlier for an acrobatic end zone reception against Carolina.


Both plays are now eligible for the NFL Play of the Year to be awarded at the Super Bowl
