The 2015 season was the New Orleans Saints' 49th in the National Football League (NFL), their 40th playing home games at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and their ninth under head coach Sean Payton.

Hoping to avoid an 0-2 start the Saints met Tampa Bay, led by new quarterback Jameis Winston.

The defense struggled to stop Winston as his heroics stunned New Orleans' home crowd.

Josh Norman made a diving interception to seal the Panthers win and the Saints 0-3 start.

In overtime, Drew Brees, who returned from an injured shoulder, nailed an 80-yard pass to C. J. Spiller for the game-winning touchdown.

It was also the fastest regular season overtime in NFL history, with only 13 seconds being played before the touchdown.

The Titans would then win the game after Marcus Mariota won it with a touchdown to Anthony Fasano.

Traveling to Washington to take on the Redskins, Drew Brees and the Saints suffered a moment of embarrassment as they would go on to be blown out 47-14.

The Saints made history in this game, becoming the first team in NFL history to block an extra point and return it for two points under new NFL rules that took effect that season (prior to this season, NFL rules did not allow players to return a blocked extra point).

[1] Saints rookie Stephone Anthony was the one who returned it, with Kevin Williams blocking it.
