Four-time MVP quarterback Peyton Manning failed to earn another Super Bowl MVP title after Sunday night’s Super Bowl game against the New Orleans Saints. The title was given to the Pro Bowl quarterback in No. 9 Saints jersey, Drew Brees, who led the team to a 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Brees tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, the last a 2-yard slant to Jeremy Shockey for the winning points with 5:42 remaining. The Pro Bowl quarterback was chosen Super Bowl MVP. And the Saints won three postseason games for the first time- during the previous 42 years they won two postseason games at most. This franchise first championship came 4 1/2 years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, making the Saints nomads for the 2005 season.
The Saints scored 107 points and allowed only 59 while Manning’s mistake caused the Colts to lose their lead during the first half. A pass from Manning turned out to be Tracy Porter’s 74-yeard interception return. He tried to chase but fell awkwardly as the cornerback zipped by. The Saints began celebration while Manning walked to the sideline with deep frustration.
