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.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (10-4) LOOK TO PUNCH
PLAYOFF TICKET IN TRIP TO ATLANTA (12-2)
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

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.
2010 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW
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)
2010 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW
(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
the Saints a 13-10 lead at the midway point.
The Cardinals would go on a 13-0 run off two field goals
and a 27-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Kerry
Rhodes.
With 3:25 remaining in the game, the Saints got the ball
back at their 18-yard line. The Saints drove to the Ari-
zona 35 where Brees connected with WR Robert
Meachem for his first TD of the season with 1:49 left.
With the Saints trailing 23-20, Carney attempted an on-
side kick but Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald recovered
it. On 3rd and eight at the New Orleans 33, Hall com-
pleted a pass to TE Ben Patrick and he coughed of the
ball at the 25-yard line where Fitzgerald recovered it
much to the dismay of the Saints.
After the Cardinals were forced to punt, the Saints got
the ball back at their nine-yard line. On first down, Brees
threw his third pick of the game to Cardinals DB Do-
minique Rogers-Cromartie who returned it for a 28-
yard touchdown to seal the Arizona victory.
• The Saints outgained the Cardinals in net yards by a
358-194. The 41 yards rushing the Saints defense sur-
rendered was the least since the 33 rushing yards given
up to Detroit in the 2009 season opener.
• Brees completed 24 of his 39 attempts for 279 yards
and two TDs. WR Marques Colston led all receivers
with seven catches for 97 yards. RB Ladell Betts, who
got the start, rushed with 44 yards on 10 attempts.
WEEK 6: Saints 31, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6; Oc-
tober 17, 2010 @ Raymond James Stadium – The
Saints had their most dominating performance of the
season on both offense and defense to beat the Buc-
caneers 31-6 and improve to 5-2.
New Orleans started off fast as they scored on their
opening drive for the fifth time in six games, marching
down 94 yards on seven plays, ending with a 41-yard
TD pass from QB Drew Brees to WR Lance Moore.
New Orleans extended their lead to 14-0 when Brees
found WR Robert Meachem for a 41-yard TD early in
the second quarter The Saints went into halftime with a

secutive victory against Seattle.
• The win gave New Orleans their first three-game win-
ning streak of the season and their fifth streak of at least
three wins since Sean Payton became head coach in
2006. With 45 regular season wins, Payton is now tied
with Jim Haslett (2000-05) for the second-most victo-
ries by a Saints head coach.

and a career-long 50-yard field goal by K Garrett Hart-
ley following an interception.

ond quarter and although the Saints took a 20-6 lead
into the half, the Cowboys got right back in the game

when WR Miles Austin took an end around 60-yards
into the end zone to cut the lead to 20-13.

sion extended the lead to ten points, Dallas RBs Mar-
ion Barber and Tashard Choice each followed up with
one-yard touchdown runs to give Dallas their first lead
of the game with under ten minutes left.

ston, a 55-yard throw to WR Robert Meachem and a
12-yard scoring pass to WR Lance Moore to give the
Saints the lead back.

ning percentage in three consecutive seasons for the
first time since the 1991-93 campaigns.

cember 5, 2010 @ Paul Brown Stadium – The Saints
improved to 9-3 and increased their win streak to five as
they had a successful comeback of their final drive of

The Saints got on the scoreboard with their first offen-
sive drive as they took advantage of a roughing the
kicker penalty on a punt to move up five yards where K
Garrett Hartley kicked a 48-yard field goal.
Cincinnati tied the score on a drive where they ad-
vanced as far as the Saints nine, but had to settle for a
field goal, but the Saints quickly jumped back on top

run. The clubs traded second quarter field goals and
New Orleans took a 13-6 halftime lead.
New Orleans took the ball out of the third quarter and
went on an 11-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a
one-yard touchdown run by Ivory. Cincinnati would
strike back though to cut the deficit to 20-19. Bengals
QB Carson Palmer found WR Terrell Owens for a
five-yard TD, where the extra point was missed. On
New Orleans’ next drive, Bengals S Reggie Nelson
picked off QB Drew Brees, returning the ball to New
Orleans territory where RB Cedric Benson eventually
barreled in to the end zone on a one-yard run.
Brees quickly put seven more points on the board on a
52-yard throw to WR Robert Meachem. But the Ben-
gals tied the score with a Benson TD run and then went
ahead 30-27 with 4:30 left on a field goal.

commit a neutral zone offsides penalty and Brees took
the fresh set of downs and found WR Marques Col-
ston with a three-yard TD pass to put the Saints back
up with 31 seconds left.
Brees completed 23 of 29 passes for 313 yards with

club’s all-time passing yardage leader. Colston had
three grabs for 65 yards, while Meachem led the Saints
in yardage with three catches for 106 yards.
• Ivory carried 15 times for 117 yards (7.8) avg. He’s the

downs in a three-game period.
• LB Jonathan Vilma led the Saints with 12 tackles
(five solo) and also dropped Palmer for his career-best
third sack of the season.

streak of the season and their second streak of at least
six wins under Sean Payton and second since 2009.

cluding a sack of Bradford when he stripped the ball

sively and defensively on the afternoon. On offense,

2010 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW
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.

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

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

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.

tackles (22 solo), two pass defenses, a forced fumble,
a sack and two special teams stops.

the defensive line with 67 tackles (24 solo), also adding
one sack, one pass defense and one forced fumble for

SEAN PAYTON NOTES
TEAM NOTES
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

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’

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

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,

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
in the third quarter on a drive for a field goal.

reer interception when he picked off a Ben Roethlis-
berger pass late in the fourth quarter to ice the contest.

2010 INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM HONORS
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.
