The Colts beat the Ravens and the Jets on their way to their second Super Bowl in four years, and Indianapolis was favored to beat the Saints in Super Bowl 44.
The Colts hopped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter as it became clear that their prior Super Bowl experience gave them an early edge. But the Saints shut them out in the second quarter, and Drew Brees led them on two field goal drives to make it a 10-6 game at halftime.
Then Sean Payton made one of the gutsiest calls in NFL history as New Orleans came out of halftime with an onside kick.
