The Saints Win!!

In Super Bowl XLIV the heavily favored Indianapolis Colts lost to the New Orleans Saints. It was a good close game all the way through. The colts started the scoring off with a 38 yard field goal and a 19 yard touchdown pass. That made the score 10-0 at the end of the first quarter. The saints answered back though in the second with a 46 and 44 yard field goal. That made the half time score 10-6 with the Colts in the lead. To start off the third quarter the Saints kicked and onside kick and recovered. That instantly gave the saints the momentum and turned the game. On that very drive the Saints drove and scored on a 13 yard pass. The Colts then answered back with a 4 yard touchdown run by Joseph Addai. After this the score was 17-13 Colts but the Saints controlled the rest of the game with three touchdowns and a field goal. The Saints sealed the game with an interception to score a touchdown. The final score was 31-17. Picture Provided by ESPN.com


With this victory the Saints earned their first ever super bowl win. After all their years in existence they finally got out of the group of the few who have not won a Super Bowl. One ironic thing is the Saints did this against Peyton Manning. That is so ironic because Peyton Manning’s dad Archie Manning was a long time great Saint. He was one of the best Saint QB’s of all time. The Saints beat their long time great QB’s son in order to get what they have always wanted, A Super Bowl win.
