Blue Surge

The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints play football in the South Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL).

The New Orleans Saints were founded in 1967 as an NFL expansion team and played all of their home games at Tulane Stadium through 1974. The Saints went more than a decade before they were able to finish off a season with a .500 record, two decades before having a winning season, and over 40 years before making it to the Super Bowl. The Saints’ 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 very first playoff win.

The 2009 season was the team’s greatest. The 11/30/09 Monday Night Football game against 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 second 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 history. The end result clinched an NFC playoff berth, a bye in the first round of the playoffs. By winning their first 13 games, the Saints as well set 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.
