The New Orleans Saints' surprising 2017 season is over but it won't soon be forgotten.
For varied reasons, this was one of the best seasons in club history, and not just because of its surprisingly successful 11-5 record and wlld card playoff win.
I expected the Saints to be good. I didn't expect them to be this good.
But it wasn't just what the Saints accomplished but how they accomplished it that set this season apart and made this team so popular. The 2017 Saints will be remembered for their resolve as much as the records they set.
