National Football Conference · NFC South · 1 Super Bowl (2009)
The New Orleans Saints were founded in 1966 in New Orleans, Louisiana, where they continue to play home games at Caesars Superdome. The franchise is owned by Gayle Benson, with Mickey Loomis serving as general manager and Kellen Moore as head coach. The club's headquarters are located in Metairie, Louisiana. The Saints claimed their lone Super Bowl championship in 2009, capping a 13–3 season. That victory launched a sustained run of success: from 2017 through 2020, New Orleans posted four consecutive playoff appearances with records of 11–5, 13–3, 13–3, and 12–4. The years since have been leaner, with the team finishing 9–8 in 2021, 7–10 in 2022, 9–8 in 2023, 5–12 in 2024, and 6–11 in 2025. The current roster features running backs Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara, receiver Chris Olave, tight ends Noah Fant and Juwan Johnson, and defensive standouts including Kool-Aid McKinstry, Justin Reid, Chase Young, and Kaden Elliss.
