What better way to spend your Monday night than in a rewatch of one of the most important games in New Orleans Saints history?
ESPN will be broadcasting the Saints’ 2006 win over the Atlanta Falcons at 7 p.m. CT on Monday night, highlighting the first game played in the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. That game’s significance carried far beyond the win itself — sure it’s always fun to smack around the Falcons, but Steve Gleason’s blocked punt remains a turning point in team history.
It all means more in hindsight. This was just the third Saints game coached by Sean Payton, and with Drew Brees under center.
