Superbowl XLIV – results
The Colts looked comfortable in the first quarter moving out to a 10 -0 lead. The Saints clawed it back with two field goals and then took the lead after a clever onside kick to start the second half. it was short lived, as the Colts brought up a quick reply.
The final quarter saw the Colts squander some early opportunities and Stover missed a 51 yard field goal attempt. With 7 minutes to go, Brees drove the Saints to within a few yards of the goal line and Shockey brought up the touchdown for the lead. With three minutes to go a pass from Manning was intercepted by Porter who ran off down the field for a touchdown and it was game over.
There had been a lot of pregame speculation that Manning is one of the great quarterbacks of all time. In this game he showed nothing.
