Saints Continue Winless Streak on Coin Flips

With the Saints losing both coin tosses in Sunday’s victory against the Falcons — the one before the game and the one before overtime — they have now lost all 11 tosses this season. The odds of that are 1 in 2,048.

By way of comparison, there has been one team in the 45-year Super Bowl era to complete an undefeated championship season: the 1972 Miami Dolphins. That’s 1 in 1,287 teams (before 2011), meaning the Saints’ current coin flip futility is even more rare than a perfect season.

Could it be an omen for still unbeaten Green Bay, where the Saints’ bad luck began?
