New Orleans Saints players on the field in the 1st half

At halftime of their Week One victory against the Panthers, the Saints were ahead 30-3. In Week Two, they led 35-16 at halftime against the Cowboys. This places New Orleans among a select few in NFL history.

Only two other teams—the 2001 Colts and the 1968 Raiders—have scored at least 30 points in the first half of both their opening games of a season.

With a total of 91 points over two games, the Saints have the highest point total through the first two weeks of any team in the NFL in the last 15 years and the fourth-highest of all time.

The Saints ended the 2023 season with a 48-17 victory over the Falcons, meaning they have now scored at least 44 points in three straight games, becoming just the third team to do so.

The Saints’ strong starts in the first halves of their games have allowed them to easily manage the second halves, leading to a 2-0 record and the best point differential in the NFL at plus-62. So far, the Saints are the most dominant team in the league.
