Notable events
- In their third game against the 49ers, the Saints became the thirty-second NFL team and the first since the 1970 Cleveland Browns, to score only a safety in a full game. This occurred again in the last week of the regular season, but after that has occurred only by the 1980 Buffalo Bills, the 1983 Minnesota Vikings and the 1993 Cincinatti Bengals.
