The New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 in the 2009 Super Bowl, winning the first Lombardi trophy in Saints’ organizational history. The franchise would not be solidified up with those who have previously won the coveted award.
After ending another season 13-3 just a decade after that Super Bowl win, the Saints again had their eyes on that precious trophy. Unfortunately, that quest ended in the Wild Card round against the Minnesota Vikings this year.
However, the New Orleans Saints will always have 2009 to look back on in times of trouble and controversy. A time when the city of New Orleans came together to back its football team in Miami, FL as they would win their first-ever Super Bowl.
