We didn't run it up on the Eagles, we ran it up on Jenkins who was talking trash all game.

Falcons 62
Saints 7
Atlanta broke more team records in a single game than any other team in NFL history, something they still list in their official history on their website.
Running up the score does exist. This game was it.
What happened the next game? I'm just curious.
If you mean the next game that season, the Cowboys pounded the Saints, 40 to 3.
If you mean the next game with the Falcons, the Saints lost 14 to 10.
Overall, it was a 5 - 9 season for us.
I watched the 62 to 7 beatdown with my father, who got madder and madder with every score. He cut loose with his Sportsmanship speech, concluding it by stringing together a chain of profanities he learned in the Marines in the 1930s. Whew!
I didn't know this. This post just made my day! LmaoOne of my fondest memories of that game was the Falcons QB was named Dick Shiner and the Saints kicker was named Happy Feller.
Still cracks me up to this date.
Actually, this is the case in college football and in the "new" NFL, unfortunately.Pathetic! What next? We tackled too hard?
Steelers and Panthers scored 3TDs in under 30 seconds
I’ve seen back to back TDs in under 10 seconds
So with 14 minutes left in the game why should we NOT be scoring. Thing can change in an instant.
