Saints set NFL record with just eight turnovers all season

The New Orleans Saints took care of business on Sunday with a win over the Carolina Panthers in yet another flawless offensive performance. For the third straight game, they scored at least 34 points and did not turn over the ball.

And thanks to that ball security, the Saints set a record in the process, finishing the season with just eight turnovers. That broke the previous record of 10 set by the 2010 New England Patriots and 2011 San Francisco 49ers.

The Saints have long been known for their high-powered offenses under Drew Brees and Sean Payton, but their minimizing of errors is even more impressive considering how the season started.
