MIAMI (AP) -- The New Orleans Saints stymied Peyton Manning, then intercepted him to seal the Super Bowl, rallying to beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 Sunday night.
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.

I am glad to see the Saints win! I am a Peyton Manning fan, but the Saints and New Orleans needed or were due for something good to happen!!! Congratulations and be blessed, Saints!!!
nfl - wwf what the difference? manning threw it
Please advise all your pundits it was not an upset and NO ONE should be "STUNNED" over the victory. Peyton may be everything in Knoxville and is a hometown boy for New Orleans but the Saints are America's new darling in the NFL. Hey Russo did you pick against the WHO DATS? Probably but I still love ya.
