New Orleans Saints win Super Bowl, 31-17 over Indianapolis Colts
New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 at Miami’s SunLife Stadium and Drew Brees won MVP!
The Colts had gone into a 10-0 lead thanks to a Matt Stover field goal and Manning’s 19-yard touchdown pass into the end zone for 23-year-old, second-year wide receiver Pierre Garcon, Stover returning to kick the extra point.
The NFC-champion Saints came from 10-0 down at the end of the first quarter – equalling the largest deficit overturned to win a Super Bowl – and still trailed by a point at 16-17 heading into the fourth before dominating the final period to deny Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning and his side a second Super Bowl victory in four years. Saints made the most of their first Super Bowl appearance in their 42-year history of the franchise.
Great game, CONGRATS New Orleans Saints!
