On Monday, September 25, 2006, Steve Gleason created one of the most dramatic moments in New Orleans Saints history when he blocked a punt in the first quarter of the team's return to the Superdome following Hurricane Katrina.

The victory helped launch an improbable season in which the team won the NFC South crown and played for the NFC Championship, and the blocked punt and that season came to symbolize the rebirth of the City of New Orleans.
