Saints win Superbowl over Colts: 31-17

The Saint's just won the Superbowl over the Colts last night, 31-17.

For the first time in its forty-plus year history, the Saints not only went to the Superbowl, but won it outright. It was not a game that depended solely on trick plays, penalties and injuries. Instead, it was a great effort by the Saints that landed them solidly on top of the Colts.

The first quarter seemed to be dominated by the Colts, but the Saints gained steam in the second quarter. The second half was kick-started by a daring on-side kick that was recovered by the Saints. Any superior edge that the Colts had seemed to be deflated from that point on. It was no cakewalk, but the Saints had gained the momentum they needed to overcome the Colts.

The final nails in the Colts' coffin were an interception that was returned for a Saints touchdown, and the Saints' stopping the Colts on fourth down near the endzone.
