The New Orleans Saints were a young team with a bright future and after three consecutive 7-9 seasons, a playoff berth was fantastic. The game was ours for the taking, but for one unfortunate play.
Last season, the Saints were phenomenal, making it to the NFC Championship. We’ll spare the details of how that turned out. The NFC Championship was a tough, hard-fought game that the Saints, unfortunately, came out on the short end of.
There was a lot of pain and disappointment in those losses. In both games, the Saints played well, and the disappointment was that we were the ones on the losing side of a well-played matchup.
