The New Orleans Saints’ title-clinching victory over the Indianapolis Colts 10 years ago was ranked the 17th-best games in Super Bowl history by USA TODAY. It remains the most memorable game in Saints history, thanks to huge plays ranging from Pierre Thomas’s crafty running on a screen pass touchdown, to Thomas Morstead’s “Ambush” onside kick, to Lance Moore’s just-in two-point conversion and Tracy Porter’s famous interception returned for a touchdown. The writeup from USA TODAY’s Nate Davis summed it up well:
The Saints ended decades of futility courtesy of MVP Drew Brees’ pinpoint passing, coach Sean Payton’s surprise onside kick to start the second half and CB Tracy Porter’s game-sealing pick six of Peyton Manning.
