The Top Four Moments of Super Bowl XLIV
#4 - The Colts stopping the Saints' Pierre Thomas on 4th and goal in the second quarter. The only key defensive play made all night by Indianapolis.
#3 - The Saints' onside kick to open the second half, leading to a wild pileup and the first New Orleans lead of the game. Awesome, gutsy move by Sean Payton.
#2 - Tracy Porter's interception return, clinching the victory. I was convinced that Peyton Manning would strike for the game-tying touchdown, followed by a Drew Brees game-winning drive. It didn't happen because of Porter, causing the only turnover of the game.
#1 - Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees holding his 18-month-old son in his arms in the midst of the riotous joy and celebration.
There were too many commercials for my taste. With both teams putting together sizable clock-eating drives, there were more than a few moments where way too many ad breaks were taken in a row for the game to gather any momentum. Consequently, a well-played and dramatic game did not feel like one at all. I understand why there were so many commercials, but I don't have to like it.
