The New Orleans Saints became part of the NFL in 1967 as an expansion team. They have remained based in New Orleans throughout their tenure. Initially, the Saints faced significant challenges, going without a winning season for their first two decades. They only achieved their first winning record and reached the playoffs in 1987. Their first playoff victory occurred in 2000.
The team saw more success in the early 2000s, culminating in a Super Bowl win in 2009 during Super Bowl XLIV against the Indianapolis Colts. Two influential figures in this prosperous period were head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees, who steered the team to some of its most successful seasons.
The Saints compete in the NFC South, sharing the division with the Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
