The 1998 New Orleans Saints season was the team’s 32nd as a member of the National Football League.
The Saints failed to qualify for the playoffs for the sixth straight year, and after a promising start of 3-0 only equalled their 6-10 record of the previous season. In the process the Saints lost to the 0-7 Carolina Panthers and were to follow this up the following season against the expansion Browns to become the only team since the NFL/AFL merger to lose to the last winless team in successive seasons. Ironically, the only other time the Saints have been the last winless team’s victim was another expansion team’s first win, that of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1977.
