New Orleans Saints honor Fats Domino with helmet decal

The New Orleans Saints paid tribute to rock 'n' roll pioneer Fats Domino with a FATS decal on the back of their helmets during Sunday's game vs. the Chicago Bears at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Domino, a lifelong New Orleanian who was credited with helping found rock 'n' roll music, died last week at age 89 after a long illness.

Saints Coach Sean Payton had musical notes and FATS written on his pullover as well as musical notes and some of Domino's hits were played during breaks in the action Sunday.
