Super Saints Crowned Super Bowl Champs

The New Orleans Saints were crowned Super Bowl champions for the first time in their history after a shock 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Quarterback Drew Brees threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns to be crowned MVP as the underdogs pulled off a stunning upset in Miami.

For New Orleans the win brings a long awaited first championship, a special moment not just for a success-starved franchise but also for a city that was left devastated by Hurricane Katrina less than five years ago.

To end their long wait to receive the Lombardi Trophy they had to rally from an early 10-0 deficit, while they also trailed 17-16 heading into the final quarter of a game that was billed as a battle of two offensive juggernauts.
