GAMEDAY AT A GLANCE

The New Orleans Saints (10-4) hope to keep their divi-

sion title hopes alive this Monday night when they travel

to face the NFC South leading Atlanta Falcons (12-2) in

the Georgia Dome.

The Saints are coming off a down-to-the-wire 30-24

loss at the Ravens last Sunday. The Saints trailed 21-7

but were able to tie the game late in the fourth quarter

on a beautiful catch by WR Lance Moore in the left cor-

ner of the end zone to knot the score at 24-24. How-

ever, some costly penalties and strong play by Ravens

RB Ray Rice prevented the Saints from getting back in

the lead. Rice ran for 153 yards, caught five passes for

80 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead the

Ravens to the victory.

QB Drew Brees went 29 for 46 for 267 yards and

tosses three touchdowns and an interception. Rookie

TE Jimmy Graham caught Brees' first two scoring

strikes, both in the first half, including a one-handed 18-

yard grab. WR Marques Colston had 80 yards on six

catches as he reached the 1,000 yard receiving mark

for the fourth time in his five seasons.

The Falcons clinched a playoff spot Sunday after they

won in Seattle by a 34-18 mark. QB Matt Ryan led the

way, tossing three scores and finished 20 of 35 for 174

yards with one interception, while RB Michael Turner

added 82 yards rushing.

The Saints and Falcons first met in week three when

Atlanta claimed a 27-24 win in overtime off a 46-yard

field goal by.

With the Falcons holding a two game lead in the divi-

sion, the Saints need to win both of their final games

and for Atlanta to drop their last two contests to capture

the NFC South. If the Saints beat the Falcons on Mon-

day night, they will clinch a playoff berth.

THE COACHES

Saints coach Sean Payton has posted a 48-30 regular

season record and a 4-1 postseason mark, guiding

them to the Super Bowl XLIV championship. He’s the

lone head coach in club history to open a season with

13 straight wins and post a 13-game winning streak,

and has the franchise’s top all-time winning percentage

(.61). Over this period, the Saints have the best winning

percentage in the NFC, fourth in the NFL. He’s also the

club’s leader in postseason victories. His 24-15 (.615)

home record and 24-15 (.615) road mark are the top

winning percentages in club record books. Payton has

recorded a 37-21 (.638) mark vs. NFC opponents.

Since taking over, the Saints have the best record

among NFC South teams over that period In 2006, he

took the Saints to the NFC Championship and was

named the NFL Coach of the Year by most major media

outlets. Payton is is only one of two NFL coaches to

lead his team to two conference championship games

since 2006.

Payton was hired as New Orleans’ 14th head coach on

January 18, 2006, after serving on the Dallas Cowboys

staff from 2003-2005. Prior to joining the Cowboys,

Payton served on the New York Giants staff from 1999-

2002, including the final three seasons as offensive co-

ordinator. His tenure was highlighted by a Super Bowl

berth in his first full season as coordinator. Payton’s

prior NFL coaching experience came as quarterbacks

coach for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1997-98.

Falcons head coach Mike Smith is in his third season

with Atlanta after a five-year stint serving as the defen-

sive coordinator of the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2003-

07. Smith has a 32-14 record, including an 11-5 mark in

his first season that earned him Associated Press NFL

Coach of the Year honors. Prior to joining the Jaguars,

Smith spent four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens on

their defensive coaching staff from 1999-2002. Before

joining the NFL ranks, he had coached in the college

ranks at San Diego State, Morehead State and Ten-

nessee Tech.

SERIES HISTORY

Atlanta leads the series, 45-37, with New Orleans hold-

ing a 7-2 advantage over the Falcons since Payton has

been head coach. The Saints have won three of the last

four contests played in the Georgia Dome

The series has been defined by hard-fought contests

and lengthy periods of dominance for both clubs. Since

1991, 23 games have been decided by a touchdown or

less. The Falcons had a ten-game winning streak from

1995-99, which remains the Saints’ longest winless

streak against an opponent. New Orleans took 13 of 16

in the rivalry from 1986-94 and Atlanta won nine-straight

over the fledgling Saints from 1969-73. Atlanta’s mas-

tery ended with a 21-19 win for New Orleans at the

Georgia Dome on Nov. 22, 2000. Five games in the se-

ries have gone into overtime, including this season’s

September 26 27-24 Falcons victory at the Louisiana

Superdome. In games held at the Georgia Dome, the

series is tied 9-9.

WEEK 1: Saints 14, Minnesota Vikings 9; Septem-

ber 9, 2010 @ Louisiana Superdome – The Saints

won a club record third consecutive season opener as

a consistent performance on offense, defense and spe-

cial teams carried New Orleans in the NFL’s kickoff per-

formance.

QB Drew Brees highlighted the Saints performance as

he completed 27 of 36 attempts for 237 yards and a TD.

RB Pierre Thomas had a team-best 71 yards on 19

carries with his one-yard TD run in the third quarter giv-

ing New Orleans the lead for good.

Brees connected on completions with nine different

Saints led by WR Marques Colston’s five receptions

for 62 yards. RB Reggie Bush chipped in with five

catches for 33 yards.

The Saints out-gained the Vikings, 308 to 253 yards,

and held the ball for 33:43 in time of possession as they

scored their fewest points in a winning effort since Sean

Payton became coach in 2006. New Orleans got out to

a early 7-0 lead, but then saw that evaporate in the sec-

ond quarter until Thomas’ one-yard scoring run in the

third stanza to put them back up for good.

The Saints’ defense displayed their mettle, allowing

only 253 yards of offense by the Vikings and held Min-

nesota to 5-of-13 on third downs (38%).

LB Jonathan Vilma had a second quarter interception

of Vikings QB Brett Favre, while DT Sedrick Ellis

sacked him. Favre finished 15-of-27 passing for 171

yards and one interception for a 71.7 passer rating.

• Vilma recorded an interception on a play where a

pressure on Favre was credited to S Roman Harper.

• The win improved their opening day record to 16-28.

This was the first time in club history the Saints have

won three consecutive season openers. The Saints are

4-1 in season openers under Payton.

• The 14 points scored were the fewest by the Saints in

a winning effort since Payton became head coach in

2006, and the fewest in a win since defeating Dallas 13-

7 on Dec. 28, 2003 in the Superdome.

• Brees and WR Devery Henderson connected on a

29-yard TD on a third down play on New Orleans’ first

offensive drive for the Saints first points of the season.

• DT Remi Ayodele blocked an extra point in the

second quarter. It was the first extra point blocked by

the Saints since DT Grady Jackson at Cincinnati on

Dec. 22, 2002.

WEEK 2: Saints 25, San Francisco 49ers 22; Sep-

tember 20, 2010 @ Candlestick Park – The Saints

posted an impressive road victory behind timely plays

by the arm of Drew Brees, the foot of Garrett Hartley,

who booted a 37-yard game-winning field goal as time

expired and four forced turnovers by the defense and

special teams unit.

The Saints scored nine early first quarter points. On the

first drive, the 49ers had the ball on their 15-yard line on

third and five when the ball flew over San Francisco QB

Alex Smith’s head and fell out the back of the end zone

for a safety. New Orleans then capitalized on the ensu-

ing possession fro the safety and drove 46 yards on

seven plays to cap it off with a six-yard touchdown pass

from Brees to RB Reggie Bush.

Leading 9-7 at halftime, 49ers RB Anthony Dixon ran

for a two-yard touchdown to give the 49ers a 14-9 edge.

The Saints responded when Brees fired his second

score of the game on a three-yard pass to TE David

Thomas with 1:43 remaining in the quarter.

Taking advantage of a 43-yard punt return by Bush to

end the third quarter, Hartley kicked the first of his three

fourth quarter field goals to put the Saints up 19-14.

Later on, WR Courtney Roby recovered a muffed punt

on coverage, setting up another field goal to give New

Orleans a 22-14 edge.

San Francisco RB Frank Gore ran for a TD and Smith

connected with 49ers TE Vernon Davis for a two-point

conversion with 1:19 left, but Brees took advantage of

the time to engineer the game-winning drive.

Brees completed 28 of 38 passes for 254 yards with

two TDs for a 108.9 rating. RB Pierre Thomas led the

Saints in rushing (46 yards) and receiving with eight

catches for 57 yards. WR Marques Colston had a

team-high 67 yards receiving on five grabs, including

an acrobatic 30-yard catch to set up the game-winning

field goal.

The defense forced Smith to throw interceptions to S

Roman Harper and CB Tracy Porter in Saints territory.

LB Jonathan Vilma had a game-high ten tackles and

his forced fumble, which was recovered by S Malcolm

Jenkins to avert a potential 49ers score.

• The win marks the first time the Saints have started 2-

0 in two consecutive seasons. It extended their win

streak against their former NFC West rivals to six

games.

• Brees had a streak snapped of an NFL record five

consecutive games with 300 or more yards passing on

Monday Night Football.

• Head Coach Sean Payton improved his record on

Monday Night Football to 6-2.

WEEK 3: Atlanta Falcons 27, Saints 24 (OT); Sep-

tember 26, 2010 @ Louisiana Superdome – Atlanta K

Matt Bryant kicked a 46-yard field goal with 1:55 left in

overtime to give the Falcons a 27-24 win.

The Saints overcame three turnovers and a three-point

fourth quarter deficit to tie the score on their final drive

of regulation when K Garrett Hartley kicked a 32-yard

field goal.

However, in overtime, after the Saints defense stymied

Atlanta’s first drive, Hartley missed a 29-yard attempt

and the Falcons would successfully execute their next

time down the field.

QB Drew Brees completed 30 of 38 passes for 365

yards with three TD passes, two to WR Lance Moore

and two interceptions. Moore had a career day with six

receptions for a career-high 149 yards, tying his best in

TD grabs and adding a career-long 72-yard punt return

to set up a first quarter scoring throw from Brees to TE

Jeremy Shockey. Shockey led the Saints in receptions

with eight catches for 78 yards.

DE Will Smith and DT Sedrick Ellis recorded one

sack apiece. LB Jo-Lonn Dunbar led New Orleans

with a career-high 13 tackles.

Atlanta QB Matt Ryan completed 19 of 30 passes for

228 yards with two TDs. TE Tony Gonzalez had eight

receptions for 110 yards with one TD, while RB Michael

Turner carried 30 times for 114 yards with a TD.

• The loss snapped a streak of six consecutive Sep-

tember wins for the Saints, dating back to 2008.

• For the third straight game, the Saints scored a TD on

their first possession. Dating back to the 2009 opener

and including the playoffs, the Saints scored on their

first possession 13 times (10 TD, 3 FG) in 22 games.

• Brees’ first-quarter interception was not only the first

turnover committed by the Saints in 2010, but the first

in 15 quarters, dating back to the second quarter of the

2009 NFC Championship. The pick was his first in 243

attempts, counting the postseason, his first in his last

141 regular-season throws. His last interception came

in Week 15 of 2009 vs. Dallas.

WEEK 4: Saints 16, Carolina Panthers 14; October

3, 2010 @ Louisiana Superdome – The Saints posted

an impressive win behind a powerful run game, timely

third down conversions, a relentless pass rush and

some key plays on special teams in a contest which

wasn’t decided until the final seconds.

On their first drive, the Saints drove to the one yard line,

where WR Lance Moore fumbled on a hard hit and it

was recovered by Panthers LB James Anderson in the

end zone for a touchback. But the Saints got the ball

back after forcing Carolina to their first of two first half

three and outs on a day where they constantly ha-

rassed rookie QB Jimmy Clausen, allowing him to

complete only 11 of 21 passes for 146 yards.

On their next drive, QB Drew Brees directed a six-play,

76-yard scoring march, ending with Moore rambling into

the end zone on a four-yard TD grab. However, the

Panthers tied the score on a 55-yard pass from Clausen

to RB Jonathan Stewart. New Orleans took the lead

near the end of the half, when K John Carney, starting

his third Saints stint, kicked a 32-yard field goal.

The Panthers took the lead on their first drive of the sec-

ond half, when RB DeAngelo Williams had a 39-yard

run. Failing to convert a third down on their next drive,

New Orleans was forced to punt, but a hard hit on cov-

erage by LS Jason Kyle forced Panthers CB Captain

Munnerlyn to cough up the ball and it was recovered

by WR Courtney Roby at the Carolina 29. Carney

kicked a 32-yard field goal to put the Saints within one.

Brees engineered an 18 play, 86-yard drive, that took

up 9:25 of the fourth quarter and ended with Carney

kicking a 25-yard field goal to give New Orleans the

lead with 3:55 left. Carolina on their final drive, marched

as close as the New Orleans 36, but their hopes ended

when the Saints pushed them out of field goal range on

successive plays with S Usama Young tackling

Williams for a four-yard loss and S Malcolm Jenkins

sacking Clausen before a final incompletion.

Brees completed 33 of 48 passes for 275 yards with

one TD as the Saints ran up 121 yards on the ground

and outrushed Carolina’s powerful attack. In his most

extensive, rookie RB Chris Ivory led the club in rush-

ing with 67 yards on 12 carries, teaming with Ladell

Betts who had 47 yards on the ground and caught four

passes for 23 yards. WR Devery Henderson had six

receptions for a team-leading 59 yards.

WEEK 5: Arizona Cardinals 30, Saints 20; October

10, 2010 @ University of Phoenix Stadium – In a

topsy-turvy contest, the Cardinals came back from a 10-

0 deficit and prevailed despite failing to score an offen-

sive touchdown rushing or passing.

CB Jabari Greer gave rookie Cardinals QB Max Hall

a rough initial reception in his first drive of the game of

his first NFL start, picking him off and returning the in-

terception 26 yards. New Orleans would capitalize on

the early turnover and K John Carney kicked a 31-yard

field goal.

New Orleans increased their first quarter lead to 10-0

when the Saints quickly would get the ball back and QB

Drew Brees drove the Saints on an 11-play, 76-yard

scoring drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown

pass to TE Jeremy Shockey. (continued on next page)

(continued from previous page) Despite a second quar-

ter Cardinals field goal and touchdown fumble recovery

on a play where DL Anthony Hargrove had forced Hall

to fumble, but the ball was picked up and brought into

the end zone by Arizona T Levi Jones in the second

quarter, the Saints remained on top at halftime as Car-

ney booted his second field goal of the contest to give

Since he was named head coach in 2006, the New Or-

leans Saints have enjoyed a significant turnaround

under Payton, culminating with him leading them to the

Super Bowl XLIV title.

Payton has posted a 48-30 (.615) regular season

record. Payton has the top winning percentage for a

Saints coach all-time. No NFC team has wonmore

games during this period and only three AFC clubs

have more victories.

Payton’s identical home (24-15, .615) and road (24-15,

.615) winning percentages are tops in club history. He’s

recorded a 37-21 (.638) mark vs. NFC opponents. New

Orleans’ 16-12 record in division play during this period

is second-best in the NFC South.

Under his supervision, the offense has been ranked first

in yards per game three of the last four seasons.

New Orleans has excelled in the biggest spotlight, since

the hiring of Payton. Seven of the club’s 12 victories on

Monday Night Football have occurred since 2006.Over-

all, New Orleans has posted a 10-5 record in primetime

contests over that period.

The Saints are the only NFC South club to capture two

division titles since 2006. Payton joins New England’s

Bill Belichick as the only two coaches to guide their

clubs to a conference championship game twice in the

last four seasons. His postseason winning percentage

(.800) is best among active NFL coaches.

IN THE NFC SOUTH

Under Payton, the Saints have enjoyed the best regu-

lar season record among NFC South teams since 2006.

New Orleans Saints 48 30 .615

Atlanta Falcons 43 35 .551

Carolina Panthers 37 41 .474

STREAKING ONWARD

The Saints started 13-0 in 2009, giving them both their

best start and longest win streak in club history. They

won 13 games for the first time in team history. New Or-

leans put together a long win streak again in 2010, win-

ning six straight games after starting the season 4-3.

TEN WIN SEASONS

New Orleans has won ten games for the third time since

Payton became head coach and for the second con-

secutive season for the first time since the 1991 and

1992 campaigns. It’s only the third time in franchise his-

tory that the Saints have posted back-to-back ten-win

campaigns.

DOMEFIELD ADVANTAGE

In 2010, the Saints have posted a 5-2 home record and

will have a chance to match their 2009 mark in the sea-

son finale vs. Tampa Bay, Jan 2. This marks the 13th

time in club history the team has posted a winning

home mark. For the first time since the period between

1990-1992, the Saints have posted home winning

records for three consecutive seasons. Since 2008, the

Saints have a 17-6 home regular season record.

ROAD WARRIORS

Since Payton became head coach in 2006, the Saints

have the fourth-best record in the NFL at visiting stadi-

ums at 24-15. The Saints have posted a 5-2 road record

in 2010, giving them back to back winning records at

visiting stadiums for the first time since 1991 and 1992.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

The Saints have eight players who have moved up to

the 53-man roster after being on practice squads, five

who spent time on the Saints practice squad.

The most notable member of the group is WR Lance

Moore. After spending most of 2005 and 2006 on the

club’s practice squad, he’s evolved into one of the

team’s leading playmakers with 22 career touchdown

receptions to rank eighth in club record books. In 2010,

he’s recorded 56 receptions for 662 yards (11.8 avg.)

with a team-best eight TD catches.

LB Jo-Lonn Dunbar started on the club’s practice

squad in 2008 and has become an integral part of the

special teams units and spot starter on defense. He’s

appeared in 35 games with 12 starts, making 61 tack-

les (32 solo), five pass defenses, a sack, five pass de-

fenses, a forced fumble and 31 special teams tackles.

In 2010, he’s started seven of 11 games, recording 38

tackles (22 solo), two pass defenses, a forced fumble,

a sack and two special teams stops.

After alternating between the Saints practice squad and

active roster in 2008, DT Remi Ayodele has held down

a starting position since 2009. In 2010, he’s second on

the defensive line with 67 tackles (24 solo), also adding

one sack, one pass defense and one forced fumble for

a unit that is ranked eighth in the NFL in opponent net

yards per game, fourth against the pass.

BUCKING THE ODDS

Players whose names are not called in the NFL draft

often face challenging odds in sticking on a team. Yet,

the Saints roster features 14 who have bucked con-

vnetion, several becoming key contributors.Seven of

the most notable undrafted players on the club are

Moore, Ayodele, Dunbar K Garrett Hartley, RB Pierre

Thomas, CB Jabari Greer and RB Chris Ivory.

Signed after the 2007 draft, Thomas led the club in

rushing in 2008 and 2009, scoring 20 touchdowns over

that span.

Signed by New Orleans at midseason in 2008, Hartley

has made 39-of-46 field goal attempts, as well as nail-

ing the game-winning kick in the NFC Championship

and being the only kicker in Super Bowl history to make

three attempts of 40 yards or more.

A 2004 undrafted signing by Buffalo out of Tennessee,

Greer has developed into one of the NFL’s elite pass

defenders. Joining New Orleans in 2009, Greer often

covers the opposition’s top wideouts.

Signed as a free agent out of NCAA Division II Tiffin fol-

lowing the 2010 Draft, Ivory’s played in ten games with

four starts and is their leading rusher with 130 carries

for 683 yards (5.3 avg.) with five TDs. He enjoyed a

breakout performance at Tampa Bay, Oct. 17, carrying

15 times for 158 yards (10.5 avg.). Ivory became the

first Saint to have two 100-yard performances in the

same season since 2006 when he ran 15 times for 117

yards (7.8 avg.) with two TDs, including a 55-yard scor-

ing run at Cincinnati, Dec. 5.

SCORING EXPLOSION

HOLDING THE LINE

The Saints offensive line remains one of the New Or-

leans offensive unit’s foundations. Since 2006, New Or-

leans has been the second-least sacked club in the

NFL, surrendering only 94 in 78 games. In 2009, LT

Jermon Bushrod, RG Jahri Evans, C Jonathan

Goodwin, LG Carl Nicks and RT Jon Stinchcomb

surrendered only 20 sacks, the fourth-fewest in the NFL

for an offense that ranked first in the league overall,

while missing only one start overall due to injury. The

starting unit returns in 2010 intact and have given up

only 22 sacks for the NFL’s sixth-ranked offense, the

fourth-lowest total in the NFL.

Ahead is a synopsis of the Saints offensive line, includ-

ing five of it’s six members that started at least one

game in 2009, who are draft picks by the club:

LT Jermon Bushrod - A 2007 fourth round draft pick,

this promising young lineman helped spur the NFL’s

sixth ranked running game in 2009. The Towson prod-

uct has continued adding strength and working on tech-

nique as he continues to line up against many of the

NFL’s elite pass rushers in his second season starting.

LG Carl Nicks - This 6-5, 343 pound mauler who was

a 2008 fifth-round draft choice, needed very little time to

make a smooth transition to life in the NFL trenches.

Selected for All-Rookie honors by several publications,

Nicks has opened every contest since the fourth of his

first year and combines with Jahri Evans for one of the

NFL’s top young interior combinations.

C Jonathan Goodwin - Goodwin took the starting reins

of the club’s center position in 2008 and has distin-

guished himself in pass protection, run blocking and

making line calls, opening 45 games in the middle of

the line as a Saint. He’s coming off a standout 2009

campaign where he was recognized with a Pro Bowl

selection for the first time in his nine-year NFL career.

RG Jahri Evans - The 2006 fourth round draft choice

has made a rapid ascent from his small school roots at

Bloomsburg into one of the NFL’s top guards. Evans

was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2009 as a starter,

elected a starter. His 78 straight starts with the Saints is

the longest streak in team history among offensive line-

men to begin a career, tied for the longest by a Saint

and tied with linemate Jon Stinchcomb as the most by

a current Saint. Evans’ streak of consecutive starts to

begin a career is ranked third overall among all players

in Saints record books. Re-signed to a seven-year con-

tract in the offseason, Evans is a cornerstone of the line

for years to come.

RT Jon Stinchcomb - This 2003 second round draft

choice is the club’s longest tenured player and among

the most respected by his teammates, shown by his

election as a team captains. Anchoring the right side

since 2006, he’s combined with Evans to start all 78

games and provide uninterrupted service, the most by

the Saints during this period. He’s tied for the third-

longest current starting streak among NFL tackles.

Stinchcomb was selected to his first Pro Bowl in 2009.

T Zach Strief - This 2006 seventh round pick out of

Northwestern has appeared in 68 regular season

games, opening five at left tackle, also filling in on the

right side. The versatile Strief, has also served as an

extra blocking tight end in short yardage situations.

The addition of defensive coordinator Gregg Wiliams,

and shrewd moves in free agency and the draft have

produced an opportunistic, resurgent unit, resulting in

a improvement to a defense that moved up in the

league rankings in several categories since 2009. The

improvement has continued into 2010 as they’re ranked

eighth in the NFL in opponent yards per game, fifth

against the pass and scoring defense. Overall, they

have improved statistically from the 2009 campaign in

most defensive categories.

YARDAGE IMPROVEMENT

After finishing ranked 25rd in the NFL in yardage sur-

rendered (357.8 yards per game) in 2009, the Saints

have improved to ninth (312.0 yards per game) in 2010.

DREW BREES

• Since arriving in New Orleans in 2006, Brees has

ranked among the NFL’s elite quarterbacks, throwing

for 4,000 or more yards each season and ranking at

the top or among leaders in nearly every passing cate-

gory, breaking nearly every club record. His list of

achievements culminated with leading his club to the

Super Bowl XLIV Championship.

• The four-time Pro Bowler has continued his outstand-

ing play in 2010. Brees has completed 391 of 571

passes (68.5%) for 4,122 yards with 31 touchdown

passes and a 93.5 passer rating. The righthander is cur-

rently tied for first in the NFL in touchdown passes,

ranked second in completion percentage and comple-

tions and third in passing yardage.

• Few players in the free agency era have made the im-

pact that Brees has had on the Saints. Since arriving in

2006 after spending the first five years of his career with

the San Diego Chargers, he leads the league with

22,420 yards, 153 touchdown passes, 2,926 attempts,

1,963 completions, a 67.1 completion percentage, 36

games with at least 300 yards, five with at least 400

yards and 171 completions of 25 yards or more. Brees’

passing yardage total from 2006-09 was the most in a

four-year period in NFL history and his total from 2006-

present is the most in a five-year period. Brees is the

first quarterback in league record books to pass for at

least 20,000 yards and 150 touchdowns in the first five

seasons with a new team.

• Brees has been selected to play in three Pro Bowls

as a Saint, four overall. He’s been selected twice as the

NFC’s starting signal caller. Brees is the only Saints

quarterback to be selected to the All-Star game more

than twice.

• With a 48-29 regular season record in contests he’s

started since signing with the Saints, Brees has the

fourth-most wins by NFL quarterbacks since 2006, the

second most by a Saints signal caller all-time, one short

of the highest total (Bobby Hebert, 49). His 13-game

win streak is the longest by a Saints signal-caller.

• Brees has helped lead the Saints to numerous dra-

matic comebacks since in 2006. He’s engineered 14

game-winning drives in the fourth quarter and overtime,

including four in 2010. His most recent was at Cincin-

nati, Dec. 5. With the Saints trailing 30-27 with 4:25 left,

he embarked on a seven-play, 68-yard drive that ended

in 3:54 with a three-yard TD pass to WR Marques Col-

ston with 31 seconds remaining.

yards (4 rushing, 34 receiving, 43 punt returns). He

helped add to the Saints’ early first quarter lead when

he caught a six-yard touchdown pass up the middle

from Brees. His 43-yard punt return at the end of the

third quarter put the Saints in 49ers territory to start their

drive and helped set up a field goal to extend New Or-

leans’ lead.

Dec. 12, vs. St. Louis: In his most extensive action

since suffering a fibula injury in week two, Bush had 81

all purpose yards 39 rushing, 22 receiving, 16 punt re-

turns). He accounted for a key third down conversion

on a first quarter reception and rushed for a first down

CHRIS IVORY

• A rugged, between-the-tackles runner, this undrafted

rookie free agent from Tiffin (Ohio) earned a roster spot

following a training camp where he turned eyes both

running the ball as well as in the passing game and

for 683 yards (5.3 avg.) with five touchdowns. Ivory is

ranked fifth in the NFL in yards per carry and second

among league rookies in rushing yardage.

• In his first career NFL start vs. Carolina, Oct. 3 due to

injuries to Bush and Thomas, Ivory responded by lead-

ing the Saints in rushing with 12 carries for 67 yards.

• Ivory enjoyed a breakout performance at Tampa Bay,

Oct. 17, carrying 15 times for 158 yards, averaging 10.5

yards per carry. This is the sixth-highest yardage total

by an NFL runner in 2010, the 23rd most rushing yards

by an undrafted player in NFL history and the second-

most yards per carry in a single-game by a Saint in club

record books (min. eight att.), the first to gain 150 yards

and gain ten yards a carry. Ivory’s yards per carry was

the fourth-best in a single game in NFL history by an

undrafted player with at least ten rushes in a contest.

• Ivory narrowly missed the century mark vs. Seattle,

Nov. 21, when he carried 23 times for 99 yards and

scored his first NFL touchdown on a one-yard dive.

• Ivory’s pair of first quarter touchdown runs gave New

Orleans a 17-0 lead at Dallas, Nov. 25.

Saints in week six after spending the first three weeks

in Seattle. A 2004 second round draft pick of the Dallas

Cowboys, Jones has carried 1,275 times for 5,060

yards (4.0 avg.) with 22 touchdowns.

• In his Saints debut at Tampa Bay, Oct. 17, Jones car-

ried nine times for 32 yards as part of a 212 yard rush-

ing effort by New Orleans.

all-time leaders in every receiving category. The Hofs-

tra University product is currently ranked third in fran-

chise record books in receptions, receiving yardage and

receiving touchdowns.

• Colston is again New Orleans’ leader in 2010 in both

catches and receiving yardage with 82 receptions for

day at Baltimore, Colston is one of only five players,

who has reached 1,000 yards in at least four of the past

five seasons joining Reggie Wayne (5), Andre John-

son (4), Roddy White (4) and Donald Driver (4).

• With 16 100-yard receiving games, only two Saints

have surpassed the mark more times than Colston all-

time. He’s recorded at least one touchdown catch in 31

of 71 games, including eight with multiple scoring grabs.

• Of his 367 career receptions, 260 grabs have moved

the chains for a first down. Over that span, Colston has

94 catches for 1,345 yards and 14 TDs on third down.

has made a successful transition from basketball, which

he played for four seasons at the University of Miami to

the football field. Following his only fall of football with

the Hurricanes in 2009, where he played in a part-time

role, Graham has immersed himself in the meeting

rooms and weight room to make a successful conver-

sion from the hardwood to the field where he’s become

a big play target for Brees. He has 25 catches for 315

yards (12.6 avg.) with three touchdowns in his rookie

season.

• A North Carolina native, Graham, scored his first NFL

touchdown on a 19-yard catch in front of a home crowd,

at Carolina, Nov. 7.

MOST CAREER TDS ON INTERCEPTION/FUMBLE

RETURNS IN NFL HISTORY

Player Years No.

1t. Darren Sharper 1997- 13

1t. Rod Woodson 1987-03 13

3. Aeneas Williams 1991-04 12

• Sharper has backed up his reputation as one of the

league’s top playmakers in New Orleans, tying for first

in the NFL with a career-high tying nine interceptions in

2009, including two multiple pick performances. A ca-

reer-high and club record three of his interceptions were

returned for touchdowns, while he added 93 tackles (55

solo), half a sack and seven pass defenses. Sharper’s

376 interception return yards was the highest single

season total in NFL record books. Shaper was named

as a Pro Bowl starter for the fifth time.

• After missing the first six games of the 2010 season on

the physically unable to perform list following offseason

knee surgery, Sharper returned to the club’s defensive

backfield vs. Cleveland, Oct. 24 and has recorded 21

tackles (ten solo), one pass defense, one forced fumble

and one fumble recovery in six games with one start.

• Sharper made four tackles in the backfield rotation vs.

Pittsburgh, Oct. 31, but saved his best for last as his

fourth quarter recovery of a fumble by Steelers TE

Heath Miller led to the score that would ice the win.

• Sharper received his first start of the season at Car-

olina, Nov. 7 in his 200th career NFL appearance and

forced a first quarter fumble on a big hit of Panthers RB

Jonathan Stewart that was recovered by the Saints

and led to their first touchdown. Sharper also notched

five tackles (three solo).

USAMA YOUNG

• Young, chosen by the Saints in the third round of the

2007 NFL Draft, is another member of the class who

has shown steady improvement. The speedster has ap-

peared in 51 games with six starts, recording 62 tack-

les (54 solo), three interceptions, one sack and ten

passes defensed while continuing to be a stalwart on

the special teams units where he has garnered 57 stops

and two fumble recoveries. Young moved from corner-

back to safety in 2009. He’s started three games in 11

appearances in 2010 and made 16 tackles (14 solo),

one sack and three pass defenses.

• Due to injuries to Harper and Pierson Prioleau,

Young was forced to move over to strong safety vs.

Carolina, Oct. 3 and responded with six solo tackles

and one sack. His tackle of Panthers RB DeAngelo

Williams for a four-yard loss on their final drive put Car-

olina back at the 40-yard line and helped keep them out

of field goal range.

SPECIALISTS

• K Garrett Hartley has made 39-of-46 (84.8%) field

goal attempts in 25 games over three seasons.

• Hartley’s come through in the clutch on several occa-

sions, kicking game-winning field goals in overtime

twice in the regular season, most recently a 37-yarder

at San Francisco, Sept. 20, as he captured NFC Spe-

cial Teams Player of the Week honors, for the first time.

• Hartley’s game-winner against the Minnesota Vikings

in the NFC Championship game sent New Orleans to

the Super Bowl for the first time in NFL history. In Super

Bowl XLIV, he was the first player to kick three field

goals of 40-or-more yards in the history of the game.

• Hartley’s 13 consecutive successful field goals in

2008, is tied for the third longest streak by an NFL

rookie. His first field goal at Washington, Dec. 6, 2009

and 14th straight overall, broke a ten-year-old league

record for consecutive field goals to start a career. With

his first two subsequent successful attempts carrying

over into the 2009 season, he had booted 16 straight

field goals, before the first miss of his career. Most re-

cently, Hartley has drilled 13-of-14 field goal attempts.

• Hartley booted a career-long 50-yard field goal on a

perfect three-for-three day at Dallas, Nov. 25, while two

of his kickoffs went back for touchbacks.

• P Thomas Morstead, the club’s fifth round draft pick

in 2009, was among the nation’s top punters at SMU

and recorded a 43.6 gross average and a 36.0 net as a

rookie. His kickoffs were outstanding and consistently

sailed into the end zone as he finished fourth in the NFL

with 27 touchbacks. Morstead captured NFC Special

Teams Player of the Week twice during the season.

• Morstead has pinned 18 of his punts inside the 20-

yard line in 2010. He’s ranked second in the NFC and

fourth in the NFL with a 46.6 gross average and fifth

in the NFC with a 38.5 net.

special teams stops. He has 12 special teams stops,

33 defensive tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles and

the game vs. Pittsburgh, Oct. 31.

• One of the NFL’s top special teams players over his

career, Prioleau has recorded 170 tackles in 12 sea-

sons, providing solid secondary play in nickel and dime

packages. He finished first on the Saints in 2009 with 21

special teams stops (15 solo) and leads the club with 19

as the club’s special teams captain.

• In addition to starting four games, Robinson, the club’s

first round pick has contributed three stops on the club’s

coverage units.

• In addition to handling kickoff return duties, Roby is

second on the Saints with 13 tackles in 2010 to go

reer, including 11 in 2010. Torrence saw extensive

action at cornerback vs. Pittsburgh, Oct. 31 and

recorded a career-high seven tackles and his first ca-

reer interception when he picked off a Ben Roethlis-

berger pass late in the fourth quarter to ice the contest.

tential touchdown catch, that led to a goal line stand

where the Saints held Pittsburgh to a field goal.

Sean Payton has taken the New

Orleans Saints to success that it

has not experienced before,

leading the team to a 31-17 vic-

tory over the Indianapolis Colts

in Super Bowl XLIV.

Payton finished his fourth sea-

son with a 13-3 record and his

second NFC South title, setting

team records for wins, longest

winning streak (13) and division

titles (2).

As the Saints started off with a

13-0 start, the best beginning

since the franchise existed, Pay-

ton’s squad scored a club record

510 points, the ninth-highest sin-

gle-season total in NFL history.

While the offense was ranked

first for the second consecutive

year and third time in four sea-

sons, Payton oversaw a significant change in the

Saints defense with the hiring of new coordinator

Gregg Williams. This feisty unit scored a league-lead-

ing eight defensive touchdowns.

Payton has instilled a winning culture, stressing the

principles of responsibility, character and accountabil-

ity. He’s built the roster and put together a staff deep in

teachers of the fundamentals.

In 2008, the Saints ranked No. 1 in the NFL in total of-

fense for only the second time – duplicating the feat

originally achieved in 2006, Payton’s first season with

the team. With Payton serving as play-caller, last sea-

son, the Saints set club records for total yards (6,571),

net passing yardage (4,977) and first downs (354).

In 2007, the Saints endured injuries and a slow start,

but put together a four-game winning streak. New Or-

leans finished ranked No. 4 in the NFL in total offense,

holding nine opponents to 17 points or fewer.

Payton scrapped the traditional timetable for rebuild-

ing an NFL club in 2006. In his opening season as a

head coach, the Saints jumped out to a 3-0 record-a

first in team history for a first-year black and gold

coach,equaling the team’s win total from the previous

year-and clinched the NFC South title before the sea-

son finale. New Orleans led the NFL in total offense

and played in the NFC Championship for the first time.

When the season came to a close, Payton was

voted NFL Coach of the Year by the AP, Pro Football

Weekly/PFWA, Sporting News and the Maxwell Club.

Payton was hired as the 14th head coach in Saints

history on January 18, 2006 after being a member of

the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff since 2003. He en-

ters his 13th NFL season and 21st overall in coaching.

Prior to his last season in Dal-

las, he was promoted to asst.

head coach/passing game co-

ordinator and was responsible

or the team’s play-calling. For

the previous two years, he

served as the club’s assistant

head coach/quarterbacks.

In 2005, the Cowboys tied for

second in the NFC with 318

first downs. When Payton ar-

rived, Dallas had ranked 31st in

passing the previous year, but

immediately improved to 17th.

Payton arrived in Dallas after

four years with the New York

Giants, the last three as offen-

sive coordinator after spending

his first as quarterbacks coach.

He solidified his reputation as

one of the NFL’s top offensive

minds in 2000. In his first season as coordinator, the

Giants won the NFC title and played in Super Bowl

XXXV. They scored 328 points – their highest total

since 1990 – finished 13th in the NFL in total offense.

Payton was first assigned play-calling duties prior to a

contest on Dec. 5, 1999. The Giants responded by

scoring a season-high 41 points and gaining 490 yards

of offense. He retained that assignment over the final

five games. The Giants passing attack continually im-

proved, ranking 13th in the NFL in 2000, tied for eighth

in 2001 and ranked sixth in 2002. In 2002, the Giants

finished sixth overall in total offense, the team’s high-

est ranking since 1985. In the decade prior to his ar-

rival, they hadn’t ranked above 20th. Prior to joining

the Giants, he spent 1997 and 1998 as Philadelphia’s

quarterbacks coach.

Payton wrapped two coaching stints at San Diego St.

(1988-89 and 1992-93) around a stop at Indiana St.

During his second stretch with the Aztecs, he was run-

ning backs coach, working with Heisman runner-up

Marshall Faulk before becoming quarterbacks coach.

Following the 1993 season, Payton moved to Miami of

Ohio (1994-95). He spent 1996 as quarterbacks coach

at the University of Illinois before entering the NFL.

Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in communications

at Eastern Illinois, where he passed for 10,665 yards,

then the third-highest total in NCAA Division I-AA his-

tory. The three-time AP All-American followed his col-

lege career with stints in theArena Football League,

the CFL and the Chicago Bears.

Born December 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and

raised in Naperville, Ill., Payton and his wife, Beth,

have a daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.
