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
