This wasn’t just one moment. It was 60 long minutes.
But everyone will remember the Oct. 30 St. Louis game. It set the stage for everything else that happened this season.
The Saints played their worst game of the season, recording a low of 283 total yards while giving up six sacks.
New Orleans didn’t score until a defensive touchdown with 1:21 to play in the third quarter and quarterback Drew Brees didn’t throw for a touchdown until 10 seconds remained in the game.
This moment ended up taking away the No. 2 seed and a bye in the playoffs. But it also brought the team closer together – the Saints didn’t lose again until the divisional round of the playoffs.
