The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The New Orleans Saints perform in the South Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the NFL.
The New Orleans Saints were built in 1967 as an NFL expansion team and played all their home games at Tulane Stadium through 1974. They went more than a full 10 years before they managed to finish a season with a .500 record, 2 full decades before having a winning season, and over 40 years before making it to 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 defeated the then-defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams for the team’s very first playoff win.
The Saints’ 2009 season was the team’s greatest. The November 30, 2009 Monday Night Football game vs. the New England Patriots, the game in which the team 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 final result clinched an NFC playoff berth, a bye in the first round of the NFL playoffs. By winning their first 13 games, the Saints additionally 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 the franchise’s history.
