New Orleans Saints Team History
The Saints were founded in 1966 after the city of New Orleans was awarded an NFL franchise. During the AFL-NFL merger during the 1970 season, the Saints were placed in the same division as the Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Rams (previously St. Louis Rams), and the San Francisco 49ers, which has led to the development of long-standing rivalries that still exist to this day. However, the Saints were barely competitive for their first 20 years. The team did not finish with a winning season until 1987 when they finished 12-3, which qualified them for the playoffs that ended with a loss to the Minnesota Vikings 44-10.
As the team began to improve over the years, Hurricane Katrina devastated most of the Gulf Coast and severely damaged the team’s home venue, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The team’s first post-Katrina home game in 2006 was an emotionally charged Monday Night Football matchup where they defeated the Atlanta Falcons 23-3. The 2009 season was a historic one for Saints and their most successful to date. After winning a franchise record 13 games, they qualified for Super Bowl XLIV and defeated the AFC champion, the Indianapolis Colts 31-7.
New Orleans Saints Today
The 2022 season will be the New Orleans Saints' 56th in the National Football League, their 47th playing home games at the Caesars Superdome and their first under head coach Dennis Allen. They will attempt to improve from their 9–8 season from last year and return to the playoffs from a one-year absence.
Long-time head coach Sean Payton announced his retirement shortly after the Saints 2021 season ended on January 25, 2022.In his 16 years as head coach, Payton led the Saints to seven NFC South titles, nine playoff appearances, and to the franchise's first and only Super Bowl title in Super Bowl X LIV. Prior to his departure, Payton was also the second-longest active tenured head coach in the NFL, only behind Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots.In February 8, 2022, Allen was announced as the next head coach.
The "Who Dat?" chant has been a rally cry in New Orleans since the 1980's when it began courtesy of a local high school football team. The chant eventually found its way to the Saints' fan base and the city of New Orleans.
Yes! The Saints actually have two mascots - Gumbo and Sir Saint. For many years Gumbo was an actual Saint-Bernard dog who roamed the sidelines of the field in Saints team apparel. Sir Saint is a tall fair-skinned man with an gigantic chin, tiny eyes and enormous feet. Sir Saint wears a Saints uniform and helmet.
Yes they have. The Saints have a 1-0 record winning Super Bowl XLIV in 2010.
The Atlanta Falcons are, and have been the biggest rivals.
