GAMEDAY AT A GLANCE
The New Orleans Saints (10-3) travel to the Baltimore
Ravens (9-4) this Sunday for a Noon CT kickoff in M&T
Bank Stadium.
The Saints enter their contest with the Ravens on a six-
game winning streak after an impressive 31-13 win over
the Rams (6-7) in the Superdome last Sunday.
QB Drew Brees started the game against the Rams
strong as he completed 13 of his first 15 passes and
threw two of his three touchdown passes in the first
quarter to WR Marques Colston. Brees finished 25 of
40 for 221 yards and was intercepted twice.
The key the to the Saints offensive success was their
efficiency on third down as they converted 10 of their
first 12 third-down plays. St. Louis failed to convert its
first eight third downs and finished 1 of 11.
The Saints rushed for 132 yards as a team, helped by
the return of RB Pierre Thomas, who had missed nine
games with an ankle injury. Thomas rushed for 39 yards
and had 29 receiving. Chris Ivory chipped in with 47
rushing yards, all in the first quarter.
S Malcolm Jenkins led a strong defensive perform-
ance by the Saints as he intercepted two passes in the
red zone and returned one for 96 yards for his first ca-
reer touchdown.
The Ravens are coming off a 34-28 overtime victory
Monday night win at Houston. Baltimore DB Josh Wil-
son intercepted Texans QB Matt Schaub in overtime
and returned it 12 yards for a touchdown, giving the
Ravens the win.
At 10-3, the Saints are still one game behind the Atlanta
Falcons (11-2) for first place in the NFC South and the
best record in the conference. The Falcons travel to the
Seattle Seahawks (6-7) this Sunday. Tampa Bay is 8-5
and hosts the Detroit Lions this Sunday.

PUSH WITH TRIP TO BALTIMORE (9-4)
THE COACHES
Saints coach Sean Payton has posted a 48-29 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
(.623). Over this period, the Saints have the best win-
ning 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 24-14 (.632) road mark are
the top winning percentages in club record books. Pay-
ton has recorded a 37-21 (.638) mark vs. NFC oppo-
nents. 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 NFC 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.
Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh is in his third
season with the Ravens, posting a 29-16 record. Har-
baugh started his NFL coaching career as a member of
the Philadelphia Eagles defensive staff from 1998-200,
serving as special teams coach his first nine years, tu-
toring the secondary his last season. The Miami (Ohio)
graduate also has an extensive college coaching ca-
reer with stints at Indiana, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, More-
head State and Western Michigan.
LAST MEETING
Oct. 29, 2006: Ravens 35, Saints 22 @ Louisiana Su-
perdome – Following a bye week, the Saints fell to 5-
2 after being unable to overcome a 21-point deficit in
the first half - a Baltimore lead created by a trio of New
Orleans turnovers in the first two quarters.
The teams traded fumbles on their opening drives. On
its second possession, Baltimore marched 43 yards on
eight plays, with QB Steve McNair scoring on a five-
yard run up the middle.
The Saints would drive to the Baltimore 18 on their fol-
lowing possession, but RB Reggie Bush was inter-
cepted in the end zone on a halfback pass. The
turnover set up a lengthy drive for the Ravens, capped
by a touchdown pass by McNair to give Baltimore a 10-
0 lead.
Midway through the second quarter, QB Drew Brees
was intercepted by CB Ronnie Prude at the New Or-
leans 12. The result was a touchdown and a 21-0 ad-
vantage for the Ravens.
The Saints would get on the board four plays later when
Brees found WR Joe Horn on a 32-yard scoring strike,
but Baltimore responded with a 10-play, 71-yard match.
The drive was capped by a six-yard TD grab by TE
Todd Heap, giving the Ravens a 28-7 lead at halftime.
A second Brees pass was intercepted and returned for
a touchdown in the third quarter, although the quarter-
back connected with WR Marques Colston on touch-
down passes of 47 and 25 yards in the final quarter.
Colston finished with 163 yards on six receptions. Horn
had five grabs for 126 yards, marking the sixth time in
club history the Saints had a pair of players with 100 re-
ceiving yards. Horn’s TD grab was his 49th with New
Orleans.
HISTORY
The Saints and Ravens have played four times with
Baltimore holding a 3-1 edge. The club’s first met on
September 29, 1996 at Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium i
the club’s first season in their new home after previously
playing in Cleveland, a 17-10 Ravens win. New Or-
leans’ only win in the series was a 37-25 victory at

NEW ORLEANS-BALTIMORE PREVIEW
SAINTS-RAVENS SPECIFICS
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

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
17-0 edge.

formance in the third quarter when LB Jo-Lonn Dun-
bar forced a fumble by Tampa Bay RB Carnell
Williams, recovered by LB Marvin Mitchell at the

FB Heath Evans for a four yard TD.

fourth quarter.

ing. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay’s Josh Freeman was held

•RB Chris Ivory started and carried 15 times for 158
yards (10.5 avg.).This was the fourth-highest yardage
total by an NFL runner in 2010, the 23rd most rushing
yards by an undrafted player in NFL history and the

tions for 53 receiving yards, with four of his catches

WEEK 7: Cleveland Browns 30, Saints 17; October
24, 2010 @ Louisiana Superdome – The Saints un-
dermed their chances with four interceptions and two
game-changing special teams plays by the Browns.

CB Eric Wright who raced 62 yards to the New Or-
leans 19-yard line before being tackled, setting up an
early field goal.

when they took advantage of a 38-yard pass interfer-
ence penalty to put them in at the four-yard line where
RB Peyton Hillis ran in four yards for a touchdown.

scored ten second quarter points as they took advan-
tage of a fake punt and rushed 68 yards to set up a field

tion on New Orleans’ first drive to completed 27-of-43
passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns. Carolina

2010 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW
WEEK 11: Saints 34, Seattle Seahawks 19; Novem-
ber 21, 2010 @ Louisiana Superdome – QB Drew
Brees tossed four touchdown passes, two apiece to
WRs Marques Colston and Robert Meachem to lead
the Saints to a 34-19 victory over the Seattle Seahawks
to improve their record to 7-3 and remain one game out
of first place in the NFC South.
In addition to an offensive explosion of a season-best
494 net yards, the Saints run defense held the Sea-
hawks to 58 yards on the ground, only allowing them to
gain 3.4 yards per carry.
Brees enjoyed one of his most impressive outings of
the season as he completed 29-of-43 passes for 382
yards with four touchdown throws for a passer rating of
106.9.
Colston led the Saints in receiving with eight catches
for a season-high 113 yards. With his two TD grabs, he
moved into a tie for third place on the club’s all-time list
in scoring receptions.
RB Chris Ivory carried 23 times for 99 yards and
scored his first career touchdown on a one-yard dive in
the first quarter to give the Saints the lead.
The Saints defense forced Seattle RB Marshawn
Lynch to cough up the ball twice in the third quarter,
with recoveries by S Roman Harper and LB Scott
Shanle.
• Shanle had a team-leading 12 tackles (nine solo), in
addition to his third quarter strip of Lynch in New Or-
leans territory.
• The Saints converted 11-of-15 third down attempts
(73%).
• Colston’s 113-yard performance was a season-high
and it was the seventh multiple touchdown performance
of his career.

the season and his tenth since being drafted by New
Orleans in 2006.
• The victory gave the Saints a 6-5 lead in the all-time
series against the Seahawks and was their second con-
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.
WEEK 12: Saints 30, Dallas Cowboys 27; November
25, 2010 @ Cowboys Stadium – The Saints re-
bounded from a fourth quarter four point deficit with a
dramatic comeback following a defensive turnover and
quick scoring drive to improve them to 8-3.
The Saints first jumped out to a 17-0 first quarter lead
compliments of a pair of touchdowns by RB Chris Ivory
and a career-long 50-yard field goal by K Garrett Hart-
ley following an interception.
Dallas got on the board with two field goals in the sec-
ond quarter and although the Saints took a 20-6 lead
into the half, the Cowboys got right back in the game
on the second play from scrimmage of the third quarter
when WR Miles Austin took an end around 60-yards
into the end zone to cut the lead to 20-13.
After a Hartley field goal on New Orleans’ next posses-
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.
The Saints were unable to execute on their next drive,
but S Malcolm Jenkins forced Cowboys WR Roy
Williams to fumble the ball at the New Orleans 11. QB
Drew Brees then went on a five play, 89-yard drive that
included a 22-yard completion to WR Marques Col-
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.
Brees completed 23 of 39 passes for 352 yards with
one touchdown and one interception. Colston led the
Saints in receiving with six receptions for 105 yards.
• In addition to his game-saving strip and fumble re-
covery, Jenkins also added five tackles (three solo),
while LB Jonathan Vilma led the Saints with 11 tackles
(seven solo).
• Colston’s 105-yard performance was the second
straight week he surpassed the century mark and with
his final grab of the day, he moved past WR Danny
Abramowicz into third place on the club’s all-time list
for receiving yardage.
• The victory guaranteed the Saints at least a .500 win-
ning percentage in three consecutive seasons for the
first time since the 1991-93 campaigns.
• The win gave New Orleans their first four-game win-
ning streak of the season and their third streak of at
least four wins since Sean Payton became head coach
in 2006. With 46 regular season wins, Payton sur-
passed Haslett for the second-most victories by a
Saints head coach.
2010 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW
WEEK 13: Saints 34, Cincinnati Bengals 30; De-
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 game for the second consecutive week.
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
when RB Chris Ivory cut back and had a 55-yard TD
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.
Brees led the Saints on a seven play, 68-yard drive that
started with Ivory ripping off eight and three-yard runs,
and then a 42-yard completion to Meachem. With the
Saints facing fourth-and-two at the Cincinnati seven,
the Saints were able to force Bengals DT Pat Sims to
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
two touchdowns and one interception as he became the
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
first Saint to have two 100-yard rushing games in a sea-
son since Deuce McAllister in 2006. Ivory is also the
first Saints rookie runner to have five rushing touch-
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.
• Colston’s touchdown score was his 38th, as he moved
past WR Danny Abramowicz into third place on the
club’s all-time list for receiving touchdowns.
WEEK 14: Saints 31, St. Louis Rams 13; December
12, 2010 @ Louisiana Superdome – The Saints im-
proved to 10-3, winning their sixth straight game. It was
another banner performance by for the Saints offense
and the defense harassed rookie QB Sam Bradford
with three sacks and two red zone interceptions as they
never recovered from falling behind 14-0 in the first
quarter.
• The win gave New Orleans their first six-game win
streak of the season and their second streak of at least
six wins under Sean Payton and second since 2009.
• QB Drew Brees completed 25 of 40 passes for 221
yards with three TDs. Brees completed passes to seven
different players, 13 of his first 15 throws, with the
Saints jumping ahead 21-6 in the first half. Brees be-
came the first quarterback in NFL history to pass for at
least 20,000 yards and 150 touchdowns in the first five
seasons with a new team.
• WR Marques Colston had five receptions for 46
yards, including two touchdown grabs. WR Lance
Moore had five catches for a game-high 70 yards with
a 31-yard TD catch.

trio of Chris Ivory (47), Pierre Thomas (39) and Reg-
gie Bush (39) enjoyed a productive day on the ground.
• LB Jonathan Vilma led the team with 11 tackles, in-
cluding a sack of Bradford when he stripped the ball
and caused a loss of 22 yards on the play, as he
reached the 100 tackle mark for the sixth time in seven
seasons.
• S Malcolm Jenkins scored the first touchdown of his
NFL career as he had a 96-yard interception return, the
fourth-longest in club history. Jenkins also had a sec-
ond half nine-yard return to extinguish another potential
Rams scoring drive.
• New Orleans was effective on third down both offen-
sively and defensively on the afternoon. On offense,
they converted 11-of-16 attempts (69%), while allowing
St. Louis to successfully convert only one-of-11 at-
tempts (9%) as the Rams were unable to convert their
first eight third down attempts.
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 48-29 (.623) regular season
record. Payton has the top winning percentage for a
Saints coach all-time. No NFC team has won as many
games during this period and only three AFC clubs
have more victories.
Payton’s home (24-15, .615) and road (24-14, .632)
winning percentages are the finest in franchise history.
Payton has recorded a 37-21 (.638) mark vs. NFC op-
ponents. New Orleans’ 16-12 record in division play
during this period is the second-best in the NFC South.
Under his supervision, the Saints offense has been
ranked first in yards per game three of the last four sea-
sons.
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 Seain Payton, the Saints have enjoyed the best
regular season record among teams in the division
since 2006.

STREAKING ONWARD
The Saints started 13-0 in 2009, giving them both their
best start and longest win streak in club history. They
won 13 games for the first time in team history.
New Orleans has put together a long win streak again
in 2010, winning their last six games as their record has
surged to 10-3. With a win on Sunday at Baltimore, the
Saints would tie for the fourth-longest streak in fran-
chise history.
TEN WIN SEASONS
With Sunday’s win vs. St. Louis, New Orleans clinched
a ten win season for the third time since Payton became
coach and for the second consecutive season, for the
first time since the 1991 and 1992 campaigns. It’s the
third time in franchise history that the Saints have
posted back-to-back ten-win campaigns.
DOMEFIELD ADVANTAGE
The Saints enjoyed a 6-2 home mark for the second
straight season in 2009 with a club record six game
home win streak. In 2010, the Saints improved their
record at the Superdome to 5-2 with Sunday’s win over
St. Louis and will have a chance to match their 2009
mark in the regular season final vs. Tampa Bay, Janu-
ary 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 records for three
consecutive seasons. Since 2008, the Saints have a
17-6 home regular season record.
ROAD WARRIORS
Since Payton became head coach in 2006, the Saints
have the fourth-best record in the NFL at visiting stadi-
ums with a 24-14 mark. With a 7-1 road mark in 2009,
tied for best in the NFL, the Saints matched the 2000
squad for the most road wins. Including the final road
game of 2008, New Orleans’ eight game win streak
away from home was the second-longest in club record
books. The Saints have posted a 5-1 road record in the
2010 season, tied for best in the NFC, giving them back
to back winning records at visiting stadiums for the first
time since 1991 and 1992.

SEAN PAYTON NOTES
TEAM NOTES
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
The Saints have eight players who have moved up to
the 53-man roster after starting their NFL careers on
practice squads, five who have 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
club’s practice squad, he’s evolved into one of the
team’s leading playmakers with 21 career touchdown
receptions to tied for eighth in club record books. In
2010, he’s recorded 54 receptions for 636 yards (11.8
avg.) and is tied for the team lead with seven TD
catches. Moore has also been a significant contributor
on special teams in the punt return game, averaging
10.2 yards a return.
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.
In 2010, he’s started seven of 11 games, recording 38
tackles (22 solo), two pass defenses, a forced fumble,
a sack and two special teams stops.
After alternating between the Saints practice squad and
active roster in 2008, DT Remi Ayodele has held down
a starting position since 2009. In 2010, he’s second on
the defensive line with 59 tackles (23 solo), also adding
one sack, one pass defense and one forced fumble for
a unit that is ranked eighth in the NFL in opponent net
yards per game, fifth against the pass.
BUCKING THE ODDS
Players whose names are not called in the NFL draft
typically face challenging odds in sticking on a team.
Yet, the Saints feature 14 on their roster who’ve bucked
convention, several becoming key contributors.Seven
of the most notable undrafted players on the roster are
Moore, Ayodele, Dunbar K Garrett Hartley, RB Pierre
Thomas, CB Jabari Greer and RB Chris Ivory.
Thomas has provided a significant impact to the run
game. Signed after the 2007 draft, leading 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 38-of-45 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 the Univer-
sity of Tennessee, Greer has developed into one of the
NFL’s elite pass defenders. Signed by New Orleans in
2009, Greer has recorded four interceptions and 21
pass defenses in 20 games, often charged with the task
of covering the opposition’s top wideouts.
Signed as a free agent out of NCAA Division II Tiffin fol-
lowing the 2010 NFL Draft, Ivory has appeared in ten
games with four starts and is their leading rusher with
130 carries for 683 yards (5.3 avg.) with five touch-
downs. He leads all NFL rookies in rushing. Ivory en-
joyed a breakout performance at Tampa Bay, Oct. 17,
carrying 15 times for 158 yards, averaging 10.5 yards
per carry. Ivory became the first Saint to have a pair of
100-yard performances in the same season since 2006
when he ran 15 times for 117 yards (7.8 avg.) with two
touchdowns, including a 55-yard scoring run at Cincin-
nati, Dec. 5.
SCORING EXPLOSION
Since 2006, the Saints have scored an average of 27.2
points per game (2,095 points) in 77 games, ranking
third in the NFL. During this period since Payton be-
came head coach, New Orleans has scored 20 or more
points in 61 games (79.1%) and 30 or more points in
35 contests (45.5%). The Saints are ranked seventh in
the NFL in scoring in 2010, averaging 25.4 points per
game following a blistering stretch where they have
scored at least 30 points in five consecutive contests
for only the second time in franchise history.

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 91 in 77 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 19 sacks for the NFL’s third-ranked offense, the
third-lowest total in the NFL.

Below 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 44 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 77 straight starts with the Saints is
the longest streak in team history among offensive line-
men to begin a career 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 contract 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 77
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 eighth (308.6 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 362 of 525
passes (69.0%) for 3,855 yards with 28 touchdown
passes and a 93.6 passer rating. The righthander is cur-
rently ranked second in the NFL in touchdown passes,
completion percentage, completions, third in passing
yardage and fourth in third down passer rating (103.3).
• 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
22,153 yards, 150 touchdown passes, 2,880 attempts,
1,934 completions, a 67.2 completion percentage, 36
games with at least 300 yards, five with at least 400
yards and 169 completions of 25 yards or more. Brees’
passing yardage total from 2006-09 was the most in a
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.

NFC’s starting signal caller. Brees is the only Saints
quarterback to be selected to the All-Star game more
than twice.
• With a 48-28 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 and
he’s currently riding a six-game winning streak, tied for
the fourth-longest.
• Brees has helped lead the Saints to numerous dra-
matic comebacks since coming to New Orleans in
2006. He’s engineered 14 game-winning drives in the
fourth quarter and overtime, including four in 2010. His
most recent was at Cincinnati, Dec. 5. With the Saints
trailing 30-27 with 4:25 left, he embarked on a seven-
play, 68-yard drive that ended in 3:54 with a 42-yard
completion to WR Robert Meachem and then a three-
yard touchdown pass to WR Marques Colston with 31
seconds remaining. It was the second consecutive
game Brees rallied the Saints to the lead after trailing in
the fourth quarter.
• In his ten-year NFL career, Brees has completed
3,059-of-4,689 passes (65.2%) for 34,501 yards, 230
touchdown throws and a 92.1 passer rating. He’s the
league’s third-most accurate passer all-time, owns the
NFL’s ninth-best passer rating ever, is ranked 19th in
passing yardage and tied for 21st in touchdown passes.

Player honors, when he completed 18 of his last 19
passes, including his last ten to lead the Saints from a
fourth quarter deficit to victory over the Colts. Brees has
a 4-1 record as a Saint in the postseason, 4-2 overall.
• Brees was named the 2010 Sports Illustrated Sports-
man of the Year on November 30. Brees is the 57th
honoree of the award since the magazine’s founding in
1954, which is based on both his on the field and off the
field accomplishments.

scored 33 total touchdowns and provided numerous
memorable moments. Bush has scored 17 rushing and
12 receiving touchdowns. He’s only the second active
player who has scored at least ten times each by rush-
ing and receiving over his first four seasons. He has the
most catches of any runner since 2006, and has re-
turned a club-record four punts for touchdowns. Mak-
ing his 200th catch in his 34th game, Bush is tied with
Anquan Boldin as the fastest to 200 in NFL history.

pose yards with 22 carries for 84 yards, 18 grabs for 97
yards with a touchdown and nine punt returns for 66
yards including a 43-yard runback.

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.

Oct. 31, vs. Pittsburgh: Colston finished the evening
with six receptions for 75 yards with a fourth quarter 16-
yard Td grab to give the Saints a 13-3 lead. Colston’s

in his 2010 return to New Orleans after originally play-
ing for the Saints in 2006.

on defense and special teams, recording 62 tackles (33
solo), one sack, five pass defenses, one forced fumble
and 32 special teams stops.
• Dunbar has appeared in 11 games with seven starts
and has recorded 39 tackles (23 solo), one sack, one

• The fleet-footed Porter, the club’s 2008 second-round
draft choice has been a starter in the Saints secondary
from day one. In 2010, the Port Allen native is among

solo) to go with one interception, one fumble recovery
and six pass defenses despite undergoing knee sur-
gery that caused him to miss four games before re-

tain possession for New Orleans.
JABARI GREER

of undrafted special teams demon to covering the NFL’s
top wideouts. One of the NFL’s fastest players and a
former NCAA track Champion Tennessee, Greer has
assumed the starting slot opposite Porter. In 2010, he
leads Saints corners with 61 tackles (49 solo), two in-
terceptions to tie for the team led, one returned for a

sesses a combination of the speed to keep up with the
fastest wideouts and outstanding ball skills. Over his
career at Florida State, he appeared in 45 games with
25 starts and posted 117 tackles, seven interceptions,
21 pass defenses, one blocked punt and four forced
fumbles, earning second-team All-ACC honors, record-
ing a career-high 52 tackles, 11 pass defenses and two
forced fumbles as a senior in 2009.

starts, recording 21 tackles (17 solo) with three pass
defenses.

injured Porter at Arizona, Oct. 10 and had a team-high
eight solo tackles along with a pass defense.

• Acquired off the waiver wire in 2008, Torrence has
been an integral part of the club’s special teams units
on coverage. In 2010, Torrence has seen his most ex-
tensive role to date in the club’s nickel and dime pack-
ages, recording 19 tackles (13 solo) and added one
sack and one interception, while he remains among
club leaders with nine special teams tackles.
• Torrence recorded the first interception of his career,
a 21-yard fourth quarter return of a Ben Roethlis-
berger pass to ice a 20-10 win vs. Pittsburgh, Oct. 31.
ROMAN HARPER
• For the past five seasons, this hard hitter has been
one of the Saints’ most consistent and dependable per-
formers in the Saints defensive backfield. The team’s
second round draft choice in 2006 and the longest-
tenured member of the secondary, has started all 64
games he’s been active for at strong safety and has
recorded 444 stops (316 solo), 9.5 sacks, four inter-
ceptions, 34 pass defenses and 11 forced fumbles and

tackles (70 solo), one interception, three sacks, tied for
third in the NFL among safeties, ten pass defenses and
a career-high five forced fumbles, tied for fourth in the
NFL, in 2010.
• In the season opener vs. Minnesota, Sept. 9, Harper
made six tackles (five solo) with a pass defense and
forced a hurried throw by QB Brett Favre that was in-
tercepted by Vilma.

• Harper had an outstanding performance at Carolina,
Nov. 7, and led the Saints with ten tackles (nine solo),

for a loss of seven yards, in addition to three special
teams tackles.
• Harper’s third quarter strip and recovery of a ball fum-
bled by Seattle RB Marshawn Lynch in Seahawks ter-
ritory, stopped a potential scoring drive, Nov. 21.
• Harper ended the game at Cincinnati, Dec. 5 with a
sack of Bengals QB Carson Palmer on the last play to
go along with eight tackles (six solo).
• Harper enjoyed an outstanding all-around perform-
ance vs. St. Louis, Dec. 12, as he posted ten tackles
(eight solo) and one pass defense and his first quarter
strip of Rams RB Steven Jackson was recovered by
Greer. His third quarter sack of QB Sam Bradford
forced St. Louis to punt.
• A sure tackler and fierce blitzer, Harper has recorded
9.5 sacks since making his professional debut in 2006,
ranked second in the NFL among safeties during this
period and first among Saints safeties all-time. His 11
forced fumbles since 2006 is ranked first on the club

leans 11 yard line with just over three minutes remain-
ing in the game, to give New Orleans the ball back for
their game-winning drive. His play in the contest earned
him NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.

tackles (nine solo), one forced fumble and one fumble
recovery in five appearances with one start.

olina, Nov. 7 in his 200th career NFL appearance and
forced a first quarter fumble on a big hit of Panthers RB

safety since being drafted in 2006, Harper has also ex-
celled in spot duty on special teams with 35 career

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.
