The New Orleans Saints stymied Peyton Manning, then intercepted him to seal the Super Bowl, rallying to beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17. Tracy Porter intercepted a pass from Manning, of all people, and sprinted 74 yards for a touchdown and a 31-17 lead with 3:12 left. Playing in the Super Bowl for the first time, the Saints went on a 31-7 run after falling behind 10-0 early. MVP Drew Brees went 32 for 39 for 288 yards for the Saints, tying Tom Brady’s Super Bowl record for completions. Brees went 7 for 7 on the drive that put New Orleans ahead to stay, with the score coming on a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey. Manning’s interception was the game’s lone turnover, and he was rolled to the turf trying in vain to tackle Porter.
