In case you didn't know, the Superbowl was yesterday! It was a great game. Saints v. Colts, the 2 teams that went the majority of the season undefeated. The Colts were picked by virtually every sports anchor to win this game. Very few people were giving the Saints any credit at all for the amazing season they had. Everyone was talking about how good Peyton Manning was and how the Saints' defense was gonna have a tough time stopping him. But, everyone forgot about Drew Brees. Drew Brees is just as good if not better than Peyton. No one talked about Drew though. No one gave him any respect at all.
Now, with the way the game started it looked like all of the sports anchors and fans were right, the Colts were gonna blow the Saints right out of the water. The Colts went out to an early 10-0 lead in the first quarter. Peyton was playing just how everybody expected him to. He was moving the ball down the field no problem. He couldn't be stopped...until the second quarter. In the second quarter both the Saints offense and defense stepped it up. Although the Saints didn't get a touchdown, the Colts didn't even score. The score going into halftime was Colts 10 and Saints 6.
I don't know about you, but for me the second half is kinda just a big blur. Not to many plays stand out until you get closer to the end of the game. The Saints had just scored a touchdown and were going for the 2 point conversion. Drew Brees threw the ball to his receiver who made an INSANE catch. He caught it but when he hit the ground he lost control. But, before he completely lost control, he grabbed the ball basically by his fingertips and stretched into the endzone for the successful 2 point conversion.
Now, Peyton and the colts had the ball. They were driving down the field. The couldn't be stopped by ANYONE on the Saints defense....except Pierre Thomas. Pierre basically put the nail in the coffin by intercepting a pass and returning it for a touchdown putting the Saints up by 2 touchdowns. Now, isn't it kinda funny how the man that everyone said was going to win the Superbowl for the Colts, actually lost it for them? I found it quite humorous myself hahaha.
The Saints and the Who Dat Nation finally got the Superbowl that they had been longing for and desperately needed.

I was definitely pulling for the Saints, although I'm not a huge football fan. It wasn't a very "good" game in my opinion because like you said not too much stood out, but I'm glad the team with the better story won. The whole thing just wasn't emotional enough for me
ReplyDeletei'm so glad the saints won! i'm not a fan of NFL, but i always want the underdog to win. and where were all the good commercials!? there were really only the doritos which were hilarious.
