1999 New Orleans Saints season

The 1999 New Orleans Saints season was the Saints' thirty-third season in the National Football League (NFL). This was Mike Ditka's third and final season as the Saints' head coach, as he was fired, along with his entire coaching staff and general manager Bill Kuharich, three days after the conclusion of the season.

This was the final season that the Saints used their primary Fleur-de-lis logo. Beginning the next season, the logo was slightly upgraded into a more 3D-esque design, which the team still uses today.

After finishing the last two seasons at 6–10, the bottom completely fell out in 1999. After they won their opener, the Saints proceeded to lose their next seven games, one of which was to the reactivated Cleveland Browns on a hail mary as time expired. This resulted in the Browns first win since their reactivation. After this the Saints never recovered and ended the season 3–13, tying their worst record since the infamous 1980 1–15 season and the worst record of Coach Ditka's career.

With their loss to the Browns, the Saints became the only team since the NFL/AFL merger in 1970 to lose to the last winless team in successive seasons.
