one of the earliest memories I have of a Saints game was Morten Andersen's FG that clinched a wild card birth in 1990. We were still out of school for the holidays. I think it may have been on New Years Eve. I'm pretty sure that it was a Monday Night Football game.

also remember Morten booting some insane kick vs. the Bears one year at the Dome. I want to say it was the year after the one I just talked about. I think it was like a 60 yard field goal, might have been longer.

That was an interesting game. It was between us and the Cowboys for the final spot (the NFL had just added the 6th playoff team format that season). ABC had a live remote set-up at one of the Cowboy's players houses as they watched the outcome.
We were up like 17-3 in the 4th and the Rams came back with a couple of late scores to tie it.

Steve Walsh drove us down and set Andersen up for the kick, which the 1st attempt was blocked.
However, the Rams were offsides and Morten got to re-kick and drilled it.

Good times!
