Saints: all-time offensive numbers

Posted Apr. 22 at 02:14 AM

The Saints have been on a roll offensively. They’ve been very good since they hired Sean Payton (and brought in Drew Brees), and they’ve been outstanding the last two years.

Below, see the numbers since the NFL moved to a 16-game season in 1978. In those 30-plus years, only five offenses have scored more touchdowns than New Orleans in back-to-back 16-game seasons. And only nine have gained more yards.
