Drew Brees isn’t the only one breaking records this season. So are Saints viewers.

Any discussion of the highest-rated TV programs in history must, almost by definition, include mention of the "M*A*S*H" finale. The "Who shot J.R.?" episode of "Dallas" is always up there, as well. The original "Roots," too.

In New Orleans, however, you'd have to add the 2018 Saints to that list. Because week after week in this incredible 2018 season, New Orleans Saints fans have been tuning in to Saints games at a head-spinning, record-setting rate.

It started, in fact, even before the season actually started for the team, with the 2018 NFL kickoff game, which pitted the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and the Saints' most bitter NFC South rivals, the Atlanta Falcons. Although the Saints weren't even playing in that game, it got higher ratings in New Orleans (a 24.6) than it did in Atlanta (19.8).
