Drew Brees
Dew Brees and the Saints rallied to upset Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 Sunday night in one of pro football's most thrilling title games.
``We just believed in ourselves and we knew that we had an entire city and maybe an entire country behind us,'' said Brees, the game's MVP. ``What can I say? I tried to imagine what this moment would be like for a long time, and it's better than expected.''
But not something many expected from these descendants of the hapless Aints, who were 5-point underdogs.
``Four years ago who ever thought this would be happening when 85 percent of the city was under water from (Hurricane) Katrina,'' Brees said. ``Most people not knowing if New Orleans would ever come back or if the organization and the team would come back. ... This is the culmination of that belief and that faith.''
Brees tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, the last a 2-yard slant to Jeremy Shockey for the winning points with 5:42 remaining. He was 32 for 39 for 288 yards.
