A letdown of a season. After 4 years of steady improvement the Saints struggled to make .500. It was a Morten Andersen field goal against the Rams with 2 seconds left that sent The New Orleans Saints to the second post season game in franchise history.
Renaldo Turnbull of West Virginia was taken with the first round pick and would put in 6 seasons of productive service with the Saints. Turnbull finished his career with 44 1/2 sacks as a Saint. Also acquired in the 1990 draft were cornerback Vince Buck who played 5 seasons as a Saint.
