The 1974 New Orleans Saints season was the team’s eighth as a member of the National Football League (NFL).
The Saints ended an 18-game winless streak on the road when they defeated the Atlanta Falcons in week six.
The win at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium allowed New Orleans to complete its first season sweep of Atlanta since the Saints and Falcons became division rivals in 1970.
The Saints entered 1974 with a nine-game losing streak to their archrival, including a humiliating 62–7 rout at home in the previous season's opener.
In a rare fluke the 1974 New Orleans Saints wore white jerseys in every game of the 1974 season.
