Saints Wins First NFL Title Crushed Colt’s Super Bowl Dream

The New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 31-17 in the Super Bowl to nail their first ever NFL title.

Quarterback Drew Brees of the Saints made 32 of 39 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns as he outperformed the Colts Peyton Manning to help the Colts rally back from a first quarter 10 point deficit.

The crowd went to a Mardi Gras frenzy as Tracy porter intercepted a manning Pass en route to a score that hand the Saints an unassailable 31-17 lead.

“We just believed in ourselves,” Brees said and as he added, “We knew the entire city, maybe an entire country behind us. We’re it was all meant to be. It was destiny. Mardi Gras may never end.”

The Saints proves to be a new inspiration for the New Orleans, which was battered by hurricane Katrina, claiming lives and leaving destruction.

Garrett Hartley helped the Saints mount a rally as he kicked two goals in the second quarter to cut the 10 point deficit to just points.

Pierre’s scoring pass coming from Brees put the Saints leading for the first time in the game 15-10 in the third quarter..

Manning who is poised to help the Colts capture its second NFL title in four years, wound up with 31 completions in 45 attempts for 333 yards, one touch down and one costly interception that hurt the Colt’s final campaign.

With the sweet victory over the Colts, the Saints finally clinched their much coveted title after 43 years.
