The New Orleans Saints are a pro American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The New Orleans Saints play football in the NFC South in the NFL.

The New Orleans Saints were started in 1967 as an NFL expansion team and played all of their home games at Tulane Stadium up to the 1974 season. The Saints went more than an entire decade before they were able to conclude a season with a .500 record, 2 full decades before having a winning season, and over four decades 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 conquered 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 11/30/2009 Monday Night Football game against the New England Patriots, a game 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 history. The result clinched an NFC playoff berth, a bye in the first round of the playoffs. By winning their first 13 games, the Saints also 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 team 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.
