The
New Orleans Saints 
put the hurt on
Peyton Manning 
and the
Indianapolis Colts 
last night, rallying from behind to win the Super Bowl 31-17. MVP honors went to
Saints
quarterback
Drew Brees, who tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, the last 2-yard slant to
Jeremy Shockey 
for the winning points with 5:42 remaining. He was 32 for 39 for 288 yards. The Saints (16-3) won three postseason games this winter after winning only two in the previous 42 years. They beat Arizona, Minnesota and Indianapolis (16-3) – all division winners – for their first title, scoring 107 points and allowing only 59. The championship came 4 1/2 years after Hurricane Katrina nearly wiped out
New Orleans
, making the Saints nomads for the 2005 season.
