By The Number


55 - Jason David's 55-yard fumble recovery return for a touchdown was the Saints' first defensive TD since 2004.



Key Play


Indianapolis opened the scoring on a 27-yard TD pass from Peyton Manning to Marvin Harrison near the end of the first quarter.

Jason David got the Saints on the board with a strip of Reggie Wayne and a 55-yard fumble recovery to knot the score at 7-7.

Olindo Mare gave New Orleans the lead with a 34-yard field goal with 6:26 remaining in the first half.

Adam Vinatieri leveled the score at 10-10 on a 33-yard field goal :45 before halftime.

Joseph Addai pushed Indianpolis back into the lead with a 2-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter.

A 28-yard TD pass from Manning to Wayne made the score 24-10 in favor of the Colts.

Vinatieri pushed the lead to 17 with a 33-yard field goal.

Manning hit Wayne on a 45-yard toss to make the score 34-10.

Colts S Matt Giordano returned an interception 83 yards with just under a minute to play, pushing the score to 41-10.



I'm sure the Saints didn't forget that game either. Remember, the Vikings beat us a long time ago in our first playoff game 44-10 in the Superdome and we avenged that loss. Now we have a chance to avenge another beating at the hands of the Colts. The Saints haven't forgotten that loss with a national audience watching. I hope the Colts don't forget that game either. Saints 37-Colts 24

Oh, really he's thinking with his heart not his head. He isn't breaking down all aspects of the game match ups now and he still believes his team will finish on top.

Good one ... I had almost forgotten about that ... just one feather in our cap!

Re: Dungy Won't Shut Up.
 

We have all seen that the media is clearly pulling for Manning and that the people who are pulling for the Saints appear to be pulling more for the city than the team...I am tuning all of this out. I want a good game and a Saints victory!

Re: Dungy Won't Shut Up.
 

Dungy isn't a coach anymore, and he should reallize that. As an analyst, you have to leave your past job experience behind you, or serious football fans, will no longer listen to a word you say. You don't see Madden picking the Raiders to win every game, and you don't see Cowher picking the Steelers to win every game, and so on, and so on. I don't believe that anyone knows what's going to happen on Sunday. That's why the game is played.

Re: Dungy Won't Shut Up.
 

Dungy's an idiot and the Saints are going to shock the world Sunday night. Of course I won't be shocked because the Colts aren't as great as most think they are. This is not the Jets or the Ravens offense they'll be facing. I think the Vikings would beat the colts too.

Dungy Won't Shut Up.

Of course he will. On Sunday evening.

Go be a missionary and saviour of the NFLs rejects and leave the game for good..

Re: Dungy Won't Shut Up.
 

You are right, but lets also remember that the Saints defense is a joke compared to what the Ravens and Jets bring to the table and in both cases the Colts figured them out and put up points. We put up 30 against the Best defense in football, you guys are 25th....we might see 50.
