Forty-nine years ago Sunday, the NFL awarded New Orleans a franchise.
In all those years, from that All Saints’ Day to this one, there was never a game to match the indoor fireworks show the Saints and New York Giants put on display.
What is the appropriate gift for a 49th anniversary? Paper? Crystal? Billy Crystal delivering your paper and reading you the comics while making funny voices?
Touchdowns, apparently. A tractor trailer full.
There was more than 1,000 combined yards of offense Sunday, 101 total points (tied for the third-most in a game ever) and a combined 13 touchdown passes by both teams.
