People lined up by the hundreds to buy Monday's 'Times-Picayune', which hollered 'AMEN!' from its front page. The Saints' Super Bowl victory was a prayer answered in this struggling city, and New Orleans itself seemed different for it.
The New Orleans Saints' victory over Indianapolis in the Super Bowl was watched by more than 106 million people, surpassing the 1983 finale of 'M-A-S-H' to become the most-watched program in U.S. television history, the Nielsen Co. said Monday.
The coach is confident, the quarterback is in his prime and the Saints promise to defend their Super Bowl championship, Clark Judge says. Sean Payton and Drew Brees have a message -- see you in Dallas.
Two weeks after intercepting Brett Favre to help the Saints win the NFC title, his pick-six of Peyton Manning clinches Super Bowl XLIV. It's safe to say Tracy Porter, a Louisiana native, has endeared himself to Saints fans for life, Larry Holder says.
Applaud the Saints for their first Super Bowl title, a 31-17 win over the Colts. However, criticism is necessary for Indy's conservative approach. Not trusting Peyton Manning might haunt coach Jim Caldwell, Clark Judge says.
Drew Brees earns a seat among the best of 'em. After being overlooked and
even written off, the short man with a giant heart has a Super Bowl for
the ages in the Saints' 31-17 win. Move over, Peyton and Tom, Pete Prisco says.
Super Bowl XLIV settles one debate: Peyton Manning is not the greatest QB of all time. His mediocre playoff mark and untimely INT in the Colts' 31-17 loss excludes him from that rarified air, Mike Freeman says.
Ambush. That's what Saints coach Sean Payton called the onside kick that changed Super Bowl XLIV and led to New Orleans' 31-17 win. MVP. That's what Gregg Doyel says Payton should be for his all-time great coaching job.
Reggie Wayne had been Indianapolis' go-to receiver all season. And when Peyton Manning throws the ball his way late in the fourth quarter, Tracy Porter picks it off and dooms the Colts. Wayne gives credit to the Saints for containing him, John Oehser says.
Colts DE Dwight Freeney on how his right ankle felt during the game: "Obviously, there was a little pain. For the most part, it was good enough." Freeney started despite not practicing in two weeks and had a sack.
