Saints v. Colts would be great...especially if both come in at 16-0...absolutely historic.
they would be 18-0 if they were both unbeaten. That would be a nightmare matchup for Dolphins fans
(By the way, did anybody get the feeling that the NO fans were co-opting our "Who-Dey" cheer while watching MNF?)
other way around actually. From wiki:
"Finally, "Who Dat" became part of a chant for fans cheering on their favorite team. It has been debated exactly where it started, but some claim it began with Southern University fans either in the late 1960's or early 70's and went "Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Jags" - Southern University being nicknamed the Jaguars. Another claim is that around the same time it began at St. Augustine High School, a historically African-American all boys Catholic high school in New Orleans, and then spread to the New Orleans Public Schools. Another claim is that the cheer originated at Patterson High School in Patterson, Louisiana (home of Saints running back Dalton Hilliard). In the late 70's fans at Louisiana State University picked up on the cheer. In 1983, the New Orleans Saints organization adopted it during the tenure of coach Bum Phillips,
though fans had been cheering the "Who Dat?" cheer since the team's inception in 1967.
In 1981, the Cincinnati Bengals fans and players started with the now famous "Who Dey" cheer. It was also adopted by wrestling fans of the Junkyard Dog, who wrestled locally in the Mid South Wrestling area in the early to mid 1980s"
