That was truly a special day in Saints history. Thanks for the post as I now relive the memories and nostalgia from that evening.

But the Vikings got whipped the following game each time. And the Vikings are still without a Lombardi.

It's still the reason that the Vikings are the LAST team I want to see the Saints playing in the post season!!

For whatever reason they have the Saints number in the post season!!

I still contend that if they had beaten us and if Favre could play in the Super Bowl they would've beaten the Colts. We had 5 turnovers and still needed overtime to beat them.

Yep. Why I hate seeing the NFC west in the postseason. Or regular. They also have our number.
Good post OP, thanks for the memories.

Our local Walmart has been airing that game and the superbowl on the tvs for the last 10yrs. Lol

That overtime was intense. We have gotten screwed over like crazy by circumstance or officiating since that season.

But that OT was helped by the gods. Last year of score first wins, crazy 50/50 review calls that both went our way, and the defensive pass interference that would have been overturned today.

Literally best night of my life. My lifelong team whom I never thought would win a bowl, wins it and on my son’s birthday.

From the morning of the game when waking up, I probably stayed up 48 hours straight.

Me and another longtime SR poster who watched together in Nashville cried like babies when we won. Was wild. Euphoric.
