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 National Football League (NFL).
The Saints were founded in 1967 as an NFL expansion team and played their home games at Tulane Stadium through 1974. They went more than a decade before they were able to wrap up a season with a .500 record, 2 decades before having a winning season, and over four decades 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 defeated the then-defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams for the team’s initial playoff win.
The 2009 season was the team’s greatest. The 11/30/2009 Monday Night Football game against the New England Patriots, a 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 vs. the Atlanta Falcons, it marked the Saints’ best start to a season in its franchise history. The outcome clinched an NFC playoff berth, a bye in the first round of the NFL playoffs. By winning their first 13 games, the Saints at the same time 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.
