METAIRIE — The New Orleans Saints, a half-century-old NFL franchise whose early decades were defined largely by bumbling ineptitude, have seen their share of losses marked by unlikely plays and surreal drama.

The latest —a 25-23 loss against Denver decided by a blocked extra-point kick returned for a 2-point conversion — repeated another scenario that has become all too familiar for the Saints in the past decade.

It marked the fifth time since 2007 that the Saints (4-5) have rebounded from a start of 1-3 or worse to get to 4-4, only to lose their ninth game. The previous four times it happened — in 2007, 2012, 2014 and 2015 — the Saints never got above .500 and missed the playoffs.
