Making history
Here are three special stats coming out of Saturday’s 41-36 win over New Orleans:
- The Saints became the first defending Super Bowl champion to lose in the playoffs after leading by 10 or more points. Defending champs had previously been 37-0 when leading by 10-plus in a playoff game.
- New Orleans gave up 13 passing touchdowns in 2010. The Seahawks had four on Saturday alone.
- The Saints last gave up four touchdown passes in a game on Nov. 17, 2004, more than six years ago.
