MNF History: 42 games all time for our Saints

FP recently published this neat article breaking down every team's MNF appearances split between road and home.

The NFL Likes The Giants On Monday Night Football — On the Road

In 49 years of MNF, our Saints have been in a total of 42 games. 31 of those games were at home, 11 were on the road.

I did some more digging out of curiosity - our first ever MNF game was in 1972, the third year of MNF's existence. The Saints hosted the Chiefs at Tulane stadium and we lost 20-17.

It's interesting to note that MNF was reserved back in the day only for the good teams, yet for 3 consecutive years, they gave our Saints a game back then. They were blown out in Dallas in 1973 and then were beat down by Pittsburgh at home in Tulane stadium in 1974. It would be 5 years after that before our Saints got another MNF game and it just so happened to be the Raiders game at the dome where Ken Stabler had the huge comeback.

Hope you folks enjoy this stuff.
