Saints storm social media after 2-0 start

By Ross Jackson

The New Orleans Saints just got another win.

Okay, not another win in the field just yet, but their 2-0 start yielded them a big win on social media. 

Per Zoomph, a partnerships company that has been tracking social media analytics across several major sports, the Saints drew in a ton of attention after their, 44-19, rout of the Dallas Cowboys. 

The New Orleans Saints were Week 2’s top @NFL team on X following a huge 44-19 win.

➖14.2M impressions
➖415K engagements
➖$871K social value

On game day, the @Saints had 3x more engagement and 2.3x more impressions than the average winning team in Week 2. https://t.co/oNoorDBJlr

The team received 14.2 million impressions and 415,000 engagements. Their engagement count is three times what other Week 2 winners received, per Zoomph’s social media post. 

The vast majority of NFL analysts and experts chose the Cowboys to win handedly against New Orleans. The Saints were facing “prove it” calls from fans and media after toppling the Carolina Panthers, a hapless team. The Black and Gold responded well against the Cowboys with another blowout. It looks like social media then responded strongly to their statement win. A 3-0 start would be sure to rouse another boost in activity next week.
