The game is best remembered for the New Orleans Saints' return home after Hurricane Katrina. For Steve Gleason and his punt block. For the triumph over the rival Atlanta Falcons.
The game is also remembered as the first inside the Superdome with Sean Payton as coach and Drew Brees as quarterback.
But for players and coaches on the field and in the booth, the game has a backstory.
Try to imagine someone other than Gleason -- a hero to many first for his actions that night and later for his fight against ALS -- blocking that punt.
