After one year in Boston the Breakers moved to New Orleans for the 1984 season as the New Orleans Breakers. The team played in the spacious Louisiana Superdome, also home to the NFL's New Orleans Saints. They started out the season 5-0, and all signs pointed to them running away with the Southern Division. However, they only won three more games to finish 8-10. This included a 35-0 thrashing by the Philadelphia Stars and losses in their last six games. In spite of adding NFL star TE Dan Ross and rookie HBs Buford Jordan and Marcus Dupree, the team struggled. Walton was inconsistent and ultimately retired after the season.
