The Super Bowl was played today (DUH!!!) and it had the two number one seed teams in the NFC and AFC: the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts took an early lead advantage of 10-0 but the Saints managed to fight back for 6 points in the second quarter to end the half at 10-6 in favor of the Colts. The Saints regrouped more at half time and came out with an onside kick right away to get the ball back. The Saints would drive down the field to set up a 16 yard screen pass to Pierre Thomas for the score.
The Colts though can never be counted out as they drove down the field on the next drive and scored a TD of their own with a 4 Yard Rushing TD by Joseph Addai. After that, The Saints would score a field goal now being behind 17-16 and Matt Stover would miss one for the Colts. The Saints would score on the next drive with a short TD pass to Jeremy Shockey and then barely scored a two point conversion with a great pass to Lance Moore.
What practically ended the game for the Colts was the Interception by Tracy Porter for a TD. They finally picked off Manning. The Colts wouldn't score on the next drive and it was all over with the Saints winning the Super Bowl: 31-17.
This is the Saints First Super Bowl Title. This was much needed for the city of New Orleans after what they have gone through in the last few years. Drew Brees threw 32/39 for 288 yards and 2 TD passes and was the Super Bowl MVP. Tracy Porter May be the most loved man on Bourbon Street, however, what with solidifying the victory with that INT for a TD. Congrats to the Saints and the City: MARDI GRAS HAS COME A LITTLE EARLY THIS YEAR!!!
P.S. It was Super Bowl Sunday. What do you think I'm going to talk about?
