On Sunday February 7^th, 2010 the world gathered in front of the television for the most popular football event of the year, Super bowl XLIV (44). The New Orleans Saints vs. the Indianapolis Colts; both teams had nearly perfect seasons making them the top dogs of the NFL. This was the Saints’ first ever appearance in the super bowl, and indeed it was an entertaining one. To begin the first half, both teams came off slowly. But the Colts were the first to score with a field goal. The first half was ended with a score of 10-6 with the Colts on top. In the second half, the Saints cracked down on defense and offensively initiated a comeback. Tracy Porter turned the game around with an interception that was retuned for a touchdown at the end of the forth quarter, which turned out to be the final blow. They expanded the lead to 14 points with less than three minutes to play. The Saints kept their defense tight and made sure that the Colts did not score, under any circumstance. The final score was 31-17 with the Saints marchin’ in with their first ever super bowl win and Drew Brees taking home the MVP trophy.
