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

The New Orleans Saints were founded in 1967 as an expansion team and played all their home games at Tulane Stadium through the 1974 season. They went more than 10 years before they were able to conclude a season with a .500 record, two decades before having a winning season, and over four decades before reaching 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 vs. 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 playoffs. By winning their first 13 games, the Saints in addition established 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.
