Didn't see any mention of this, but with the win over Seattle, Payton moved into a tie with Haslett for career wins as the Saints' Head Coach.
Haslett went 45-51 in 96 games, and Payton is 45-29. So a win against Dallas will put Payton in the #2 all time slot for us. It'll be a few years before he could possibly catch Mora's 93 wins at the top (93-74), but if we manage to keep him home he's actually slightly beating Mora's pace in the regular season (and slaughtering it in the post-season). Mora was 46-33 at the end of his 5th season in 1990 (lost one game to the 1987 strike). If for whatever reason you wanted to throw the 3 strike/scab game wins out it wouldn't matter because we started 1991 at 7-0.
With a win at Dallas, Payton only has to go 4-4 or better over the next 8 to be the fastest ever to 50 wins for us.
Just a footnote, but some might find it interesting.
