Billy Kilmer was the Saints' QB and he threw for 400 yards and had 5 TD passes that day. At that time, in 1969, it was one of the most productive days for an NFL QB in history. So, go ahead and make fun of old Kilmer...
Triva Quiz: Who was the Cardinals' QB, who also enjoyed a great day.
BTW the Saints had 10 possessions. They scored on 9 of 'em, 6 TDs, 3 FGs. The only one they didn't score on was the last one, when Kilmer took a knee to run out the clock.
