The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The New Orleans Saints perform in the NFC South in the National Football League.
The Saints were built in 1967 as an NFL expansion team and played all of their home games at Tulane Stadium up to 1974. They went more than 10 whole years before they managed to conclude a season with a .500 record, 2 full decades before having a winning season, and over 40 years before reaching the Super Bowl. The team’s first successful years were from 1987–1992, when the team made the playoffs four times and had winning records in the non-playoff seasons. In the 2000 season, the Saints beat the then-defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams for the team’s first playoff win.
The Saints’ 2009 season was the team’s greatest. The 11/30/09 Monday Night Football game vs. the New England Patriots, in which the Saints went to an 11–0 record for the first time in franchise history, was the 2nd highest rated cable program to date. After becoming 13–0 with their win against the Atlanta Falcons, it marked the Saints’ best start to a season in its franchise’s history. The end result clinched an NFC playoff berth, a bye in the first round of the NFL playoffs. By winning their first 13 games, the Saints in addition set in place the record for the longest undefeated season opening (13-0) by an NFC team since the AFL–NFL merger, eclipsing the previous record (12-0) held by the 1985 Chicago Bears. The Saints advanced to the 2009 NFC Championship game where they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 31-28 in overtime, sending the team to their first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.
