1968 New Orleans Saints

The 1968 New Orleans Saints season was the team's second as a member of the National Football League. They improved on their previous season's output of 3-11, winning four games. The team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second consecutive season.

December 15, 1968, Charlie Brown (running back) was the first New Orleans Saint to return a punt for a touchdown. Brown’s historic run was recognized by NFL Films as one of the top ten runs (# 8) in NFL History. Incredibly, nine of the opposing 11 players get a piece of Brown--but none bring him down. It would be another 21 years before another Saint would return a punt for a touchdown.
