Sports bring out superstitions in a lot of fans, so if you’re more than a little stitious, find some wood and knock on it. But it’s worth noting that Cameron Jordan is in rare air. The big defensive end has been his team’s best defender for a generation, and he’s on pace to join Drew Brees in the New Orleans Saints’ exclusive 200 Club.
That’s right — Brees is the only player in franchise history to wear black and gold into 200 or more regular season games (having done so 228 times). Jordan is entering 2023 with 192 regular season games played in a Saints uniform, so he needs just eight more to achieve it. If you’re curious, that makes Week 8’s Indianapolis Colts road game the one to watch.
But what about postseason games? If you count the playoffs, Jordan (203) has already joined Brees (245). But so have a couple of other all-time greats, and Jordan has some work to do to catch up on No. 9. Here are the members of the Saints’ 200 Club* and those who came close to making the cut:
*Including the playoffs
QB Drew Brees: 245 games (228 regular season, 178 postseason)
P Thomas Morstead: 205 games (190 regular season, 15 postseason)
DE Cameron Jordan: 203 games (192 regular season, 11 postseason)
K Morten Andersen: 200 games (196 regular season, 4 postseason)
LB Rickey Jackson: 199 games (195 regular season, 4 postseason)
DL Frank Warren: 192 games (189 regular season, 3 postseason)
OL Stan Brock: 190 games (186 regular season, 4 postseason)
