Robin PottratzSaints win their first Super Bowl

The New Orleans Saints have won their first Super Bowl. The Saints upset the Indianapolis Colts 31 to 17 at Super Bowl 44 in Miami Florida. Many so called experts like myself didn’t think the Saints had much of a chance but we were proven wrong when the Saints beat the Colts.
It was thought that Super Bowl XLIV would be a battle between Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. To an extent it was but a Peyton Manning pass intercepted by Tracy Porter and returned 74 yards for a touchdown sealed the victory for the Saints.
Drew Brees did complete 32 of 39 passes for 288 yards and two td passes with no interceptions in their Super Bowl win over the Colts. Peyton Manning completed 31 of 45 passes for 333 yards, one touchdown and the costly interception to Tracy Porter.
Tracy Porter will always be considered a hero by the New Orleans fans for his game saving pick six of the Peyton Manning pass. It has to be extra special for Tracy Porter to be a Saints Super Bowl hero as he is a native of Louisiana.
The Colts ran the ball more and with more effect than I thought they would against the Saints. Joseph Addai had a solid 77 yards and one touchdown The Colts just seemed destined to win to me right until the pick by Manning.
A key turning point in the game was a ballsy onside kick by the Saints to start the 2nd half that was recovered by New Orleans. The Saints also went for it on 4th and goal but did a stupid run to the right side that everyone knew was coming, and was stopped. But clearly coach Payton’s gutsy play calling worked out in the end since the Saints have won their first Super Bowl
