The glitz, glamour, speed and glory of Formula 1 is all packed into this week’s race in Monaco, and it’s been a long, long wait for F1 fans: The event was axed in 2020 thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, and it was the first time since 1954 that the race wasn’t held.

Drew Brees and his team were on the wrong side of a non-call on a helmet-to-helmet pass interference play that would have spotted the ball just inside the 5-yard line. Instead, Sean Payton’s Saints kicked a field goal to give themselves just a three-point lead before the end of regulation.
