N.O. Saints Jackets – New Orleans Saints Jackets – Jackets for the New Orleans Saints
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 Saints were started in 1967 as an expansion team and played all their home games at Tulane Stadium up to the 1974 season. They went more than an entire decade before they were able to finish off a season with a .500 record, two 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 beat the then-defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams for the team’s initial playoff win.
The 2009 season was the team’s best season. The November 30, 2009 Monday Night Football game vs. the New England Patriots, in which the Saints 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 playoffs. By winning their first 13 games, the Saints also 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 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.
