It’s easy to overlook how easily the Saints were scoring points yesterday, considering they were doing it against a defense on pace to break records for futility.

But after nine games, it’s hard to argue with the trend, and the Saints are more productive than ever.

Via Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Saints have scored on 61 percent of their 93 offensive possessions this season. When they set the league record for yards in a season, they scored on 51 percent of their possessions. The 2009 Super Bowl team scored on 42 percent of their drives.

How does that compare to the best seasons in NFL history?
