Ever since the Sean Payton era started in New Orleans, his teams have almost always been able to fight against a negative turnover ratio. In 2009, the Saints had their first year with a positive ratio and what a year it turned out to be.
The Saints managed to take the ball away from the opponent 11 more times than they gave it away that season.
The Saints managed to win 13 games and continued to impress all they way to the Super Bowl, where they won thanks to guys like Drew Brees, Pierre Thomas, Lance Moore and Tracy Porter.
