In the 1989 season opener against Dallas, the Dome Patrol gave a hearty welcome to Cowboy rookie quarterback Troy Aikmen with 2 sacks, 2 interceptions and a 28-0 shutout. Here Hershel Walker is dropped behind the line by noseguard Patrick Swoopes. Walker had a total of 10 yards rushing in the whole game. 1989 saw the Saints finish the year 12th in the league in total defense and Vaughn Johnson and Pat Swilling going to the Pro Bowl.
I've been following the Saints since a kid in the 70s watching the likes of Archie Manning and Tommy Myers.
We may not have as grandiose a history as some NFL teams, but there are scores of memories the New Orleans Saints have given to their fans and I have done my best to record them here at New Orleans Saints History.
