when's the last time the new orleans saints won the superbowl
Super Bowl XLIV The Saints finished the next season with an 11â€“5 record, but failed to defend their league title after they were eliminated by the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card playoff round. Super Bowl XLIV later became the subject of the wider New Orleans Saints bounty scandal, also known as "Bountygate", in which the NFL alleged in 2012 that several Saints defenders operated a slush fund that was in operation from the 2009 season and Super Bowl XLIV, through 2011. This alleged slush fund paid out bonuses, or "bounties", for in-game performance in violation of NFL rules, including deliberately injuring or knocking opposing players out of games. The league responded with some of the most severe sanctions in the league's 92-year history, and among the most severe punishments for an on-field incident in North American professional sports history.[49] In 2012, New Orleans failed to make the playoffs for the first time since their Super Bowl win, with the sanctions for Bountygate cited as one of the primary causes. The Saints rebounded in 2013, but were eliminated in the Divisional playoff round by the eventual Super Bowl XLVIII champion Seahawks, and have returned to the playoffs in 2018 by defeating Carolina Panthers in the Wildcard Round, but lost to Minnesota Vikings in the Divisional Rounds. Thus, New Orleans have not advanced to the Conference Championship Game since Super Bowl XLIV.
Playoff history of the New Orleans Saints The New Orleans Saints have appeared in 16 different postseason games and have compiled a record of 7-9 (as of January, 2014). This is a brief history of the playoff appearances of the Saints.
List of Super Bowl champions No franchise has yet won three Super Bowls in a row, although several have come close:
Philadelphia Eagles top defense in the NFL. The Eagles headed into their bye week with the best record in the NFL (8–1), and with Wentz leading the NFL MVP discussion with an NFL-leading 23 touchdowns to 5 interceptions. During their bye, the Eagles signed former Giants offensive tackle Will Beatty and former Saints linebacker Dannell Ellerbe to not only add depth but also players with Super Bowl experiences. Coming off of the bye week, the Philadelphia Eagles entered a Sunday night showdown with the defending NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles came out sluggish and trailed 9–7 at the half. The team exploded in the second half though, rattling off 30 unanswered points to soundly defeat their rival by a final score of 37–9. The Eagles were rolling on an nine-game winning streak after a huge blowout win over the Chicago Bears.[28] The Eagles traveled to Seattle in Week 13 in a huge Sunday Night showdown against Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks. The Eagles struggled throughout the whole game, blowing many scoring opportunities and allowing Wilson to throw 3 touchdowns. The Eagles lost 24–10, snapping their win streak. However, the Eagles bounced back in Week 14 win over the Los Angeles Rams in a tough 43–35 win. However, Carson Wentz left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury. It was later found out that Wentz tore his ACL ending his MVP caliber season. Backup Nick Foles would, once again take over as starting quarterback. In Foles's first start against the New York Giants, he would lead them back from a 20-7 deficit and score 4 touchdowns and win the game 34-29. Foles struggled in the last two games of the season against the Oakland Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys, and threw a touchdown and 2 interceptions in that span. Despite this, the Eagles finished 13-3 and secured the top seed in the NFC. The Eagles opened as the underdogs despite being the No. 1 seed in the NFC and this was the first time in history that a No. 1 seed has opened up the postseason as an underdog. Despite this Foles would lead the Eagles past the Atlanta Falcons in the Divisional Round 15-10. In the next game Foles and the Eagles annihilated the Minnesota Vikings 38-7 in the NFC Championship nicknamed the Minneapolis Massacre, mocking the Minneapolis Miracle from their previous playoff victory. Foles had his best game since week 15 and threw for 352 passing yards and 3 touchdowns including an impressive flea flicker touchdown pass. This win marked the franchise's third Super Bowl appearance and a berth in Super Bowl LII for a 2005 rematch against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
