MIAMI – Inspired by a city still rebuilding from the 2005 devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Saints captured their first Super Bowl crown on Sunday by rallying for a 31-17 triumph over Indianapolis. Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed a Super Bowl record-tying 32 passes in 39 attempts for 288 yards and two touchdowns to claim Most Valuable Player honors in the National Football League’s championship spectacle. “We just believed in ourselves,” Brees said. “We knew we had an entire city and maybe an entire country behind us. It was all meant to be. It was all destiny.” It was Tracy Porter’s 74-yard interception return touchdown with 3:12 remaining that sealed the epic victory, one that had Saints fans in the stands chanting their cajun battle cry - “Who Dat Say Dey Gonna Beat Dem Saints?” “We put this city on our back four years ago and now it’s all worth it,” Saints safety Roman Harper said. Just 4 1/2 years after their domed stadium became a house of horrors for those trapped by floodwaters and waiting in vain for help or rescue, the Saints touched off the biggest celebration of all in a city known for its party scene. “New Orleans is back and this showed the whole world,” said Saints owner Tom Benson. The Saints, once laughing-stocks that Benson was looking to relocate, had been losers for most of their 43-year history and fell behind 10-0 to the Colts before bouncing back to deny Indianapolis a second title in four seasons. |
