"I THINKOUR PLAYERS WILL be ready," coach Sean Payton said before his Saints, who had lost three straight, faced Arizona in their playoff opener. One blowout and two nail-biters later, the team proved him right by winning the first Super Bowl in franchise history.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS BY THE NUMBERS
3 VICTORIES in the playoffs for New Orleans, one more than the franchise had in its previous 42 seasons.
4 FRANCHISES to win a Super Bowl in its only appearance—the Ravens, Jets, Buccaneers and Saints.
5 WINS by the 2009 Saints over Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks (Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning). New Orleans is the first team to defeat three such quarterbacks in the playoffs.
1 TEAM in league history, the Saints, to overcome a deficit of at least seven points in three postseason games and win.
7 TEAMS since 1970 to lead the league in both scoring and total offense and win the Super Bowl, the latest being the Saints.
5 QUARTERBACKS to play a postseason with at least eight TD passes without an interception—Joe Montana, Phil Simms, Steve Young, Troy Aikman and Drew Brees.
2 TOUCHDOWNS scored on an interception return by Tracy Porter in his two-year career, both coming at Sun Life Stadium. The first came on Oct. 25, 2009, against Miami, and the second came in the Super Bowl.
34 TOUCHDOWN passes thrown by Brees, tops in the NFL and tied for the single-season franchise record, which he set in '08.
403.8 YARDS per game gained by the Saints, ranking No. 1 in the NFL in total offense.
