The New Orleans Saints just came to terms with the end of what was undoubtedly the greatest era in franchise history.
From 2006 to 2020, the franchise that had previously been known best for losing went 150-90 in regular season games, won seven NFC South Division titles, won the franchise’s lone Super Bowl and posted a winning record in the playoffs (9-8).
That all started with one thing: the signing of Drew Brees.
You can cite any other reason you want: a strong coaching staff, a solid offensive line, some good defenses as of late, some really good draft classes, etc.
