When tight end David Thomas scored a touchdown Sunday, he became the 18th New Orleans player to do so this season.
Sounded like an outrageous number, so I turned to the people at ESPN’s Stats & Information for perspective. The Saints haven't broken any records in this department yet, but they have a shot.
They’ll have to climb over a bunch of teams who have had 18 or 19 players score. But, if they can do that, they can rank as one of the best of all time.
