The Most Important Occurrences In The Indy and New Orleans Super Bowl
For the third straight year, football fans enjoyed a competitive Super Bowl game that has often left fans disappointed after sitting through many blowouts in recent years.
The Indianapolis Colts were the team that was picked to win the game, but the New Orleans Saints really gave folks a surprise when they beat them. Drew Brees , along with the rest of the offense, played an outstanding game, but that's not to say that their defense didn't play just as well, doing a great job taking on Peyton Manning, the Colt's quarterback.
So, let's discuss down some of the highlights of Super Bowl XLIV. Perhaps you didn't get to see the game; if that is the case, then these are the things that you would want to know about.
First of all, Drew Brees was nearly perfect after getting off to a shaky start. While he completed just three of his first seven pass attempts, he went 29 for his next 32 to finish with 32 completions in 39 attempts with 288 yards, 2 touchdown passes, and no turnovers.
Wow, those numbers are extraordinary and no one should be surprised that Brees came away with the award for that spectacular performance as a quarterback in the Super Bowl.
Let's not take anything away from Garrett Hartley, the Saint's young kicker. He attempted and made all three of his field goals from 44, 46 and 47 yards. These were vital in helping them to win, considering that they were losing to the Colts whenever he made two of them.
Last but not least, Peyton Manning, the quarterback for the Colts, sure stirred up a lot of controversy when the game was over. He quickly left the field without offering a handshake or even saying congratulations to any of the players on the Saints team.
It's customary for the losing team's players to congratulate the winners, so many are calling Manning's act one of poor sportsmanship. Drew Brees, on the other hand, said that he understood Manning's frustration and doesn't hold anything against him for it.
