CAR @ NO
· Dec 18, 2005 · Season 2005, 15
The Saints played their penultimate home game of 2005 in Tiger Stadium in the months after Hurricane Katrina. This doink here is a non-story, as even a "home" loss to their division rival Panthers feels unimportant.
SD @ NO
· Oct 26, 2008 · Season 2008, 8
These were different times for kickers, it seems. Poor Taylor Mehlhaff was cut twice by the Saints in 2008 - the first after training camp, the second after a fine performance in the 2008 NFL London game that saw Taylor doink an extra point off the upright in an otherwise clean game. There did not seem to be a disciplinary reason or injury at the heart of this decision, just this lone missed 20 yard PAT.
TEN @ NO
· Nov 8, 2015 · Season 2015, 9
As the clock ticked down to the final minutes of the 4th quarter, both kickers in this game had a go ahead attempt. First, immediately after the 2 minute warning, Ryan Succop kicked a 55 yarder that doinked off the upright and left the Saints in good position to strike back. After a Brees-led 2 minute drill stalled out past midfield, Kai Forbath had an opportunity to win the game with a kick of his own. It did not go well.
