Sean Payton went into Super Bowl XLIV knowing that he wanted to steal another possession from Peyton Manning’s explosive aerial attack. Of course, Sean Payton wanted to be known for being gutsy on the world’s biggest stage, but he knew that Saints couldn’t match Manning blow for blow in this match-up. The gutsy, brilliant, Bill Parcells disciple, needed a plan.
His evil plan was set in motion during Super Bowl halftime, and the plan was called: Ambush. This play would rely on the rookie Thomas Morstead’s shoulders.
