It seems destined that Drew Brees is going to win Super Bowl MVP, and I won't begrudge him the honor. It's too bad, though, that there won't be offensive and defensive MVPs tonight, so Tracy Porter could get something. Reggie Wayne (tonight's LVP) appeared to be in the witness protection program in the first half, then Porter jumps the route for the back-breaking 78-yard pick-six to seal the game with the Colts trying to come back for the tie. Porter deserves some kind of award tonight. Head coach Sean Payton deserves a game ball, too. Going on 4th-and-goal at the end of the 1st half proved absolutely the right move once the Saints got the ball back and got the FG anyway. The onside kick to start the second half was the ballsiest call in Super Bowl history. Another key decision was getting the double-team back out on Dwight Freeney, after which the Colt pass rush completely disappeared. Sean Payton seemed to make all the right moves tonight.
Congratulations to the world champion Saints.
