I’ve always thought that especially if the Saints are relevant in anyway shape or fashion that we have historically done excellent in the TV ratings.
I don’t think that many Saints fans realize just how popular we became during our run to the SB. At one point there was an article I believe about the Saints being the new “America’s Team”. Many people love an underdog story and let’s face it, we were but more than that for years we had some of if not the best and most entertaining games ever seen before in the NFL, and the TV ratings supported that.
I spent a long time in the military and I was kinda flattered and fascinated by just how many people from all over the world are big time Saints fans. As SP use to say, “I’ll say this”, if we can just be in the hunt with any coach and any QB down the stretch people WILL tune in probably more than most.
Btw, we are still the 6th most SB watched of all time.
