It's a Brees...Saints Win!

Great Super Bowl!

Well played by both teams. But give it up to Saints' quarterback Drew Brees and some gutsy calls by their fiery coach Sean Payton, who orchestrated a well-planned offensive scheme that allowed New Orleans to come away Sunday with an impressive 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Miami.

Down 10-0 early, the Saints roared back in the second half to outscore the Colts 25-7 to grab their first ever Super Bowl title. Brees, who was handed the Super Bowl XLIV MVP trophy following the game, completed 32 of 39 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns. As for Payton, he pulled out all the stops, including a gutsy, onside-kick call to open up the second half.

Colts' quarterback Peyton Manning had to take a back seat to Brees in this one, despite the fact he threw for 333 yards and a touchdown. The party is on, down on the French Quarter in New Orleans, and the party will continue all the way through the Mardi Gras season -- which is in full swing and last through the entire month of February.

The City of New Orleans has struggled to survive since the onslaught of Katrina. The rebuilding will continue there for a long time to come, but they won't have to look for a football team, a coach, or a quarterback.

They have the Saints. And they are the Champions!
