This year’s Super Bowl was definitely one that kept all the fans of the game watching it and getting so much out of it, just like the last two Super Bowl games were. That is so refreshing when you think about the games that took place in prior years before these three and how they were just disappointing to the fans.

The Indianapolis Colts were the team that was picked to win the game, but the New Orleans Saints really gave folks a surprise when they beat them. Drew Brees , along with the rest of the offense, played an outstanding game, but that’s not to say that their defense didn’t play just as well, doing a great job taking on Peyton Manning, the Colt’s quarterback.

Ok, now we will talk about some of the important things that happened in Super Bowl XLIV. If you actually weren’t able to see it, the following information is what you would want to know about this game.

He started off a little shaky, but once that passed, Drew Brees had an almost perfect game. He began it by only getting three completions from the first seven attempts, but then he went on to complete 29 out of the next 32 attempts. He finished the game with an impressive total of 32 completions out of 39 attempts with 288 yards, no turnovers and 2 touchdown passes.

These statistics are truly superb and, of course, Brees received the award for giving such an efficient performance as a quarterback in this Super Bowl.

Garrett Hartley, the Saint’s young kicker, was just as impressive when he attempted field goals from 44, 46 and 47 yards and made all of them. During two of those attempts, the Colts were winning and when he was successful with the field goals, he helped the team win the game.

Lastly, there was a controversy that emerged after the game involving Peyton Manning. After losing the game to the Saints, the Indianapolis quarterback stormed off the field without shaking hands with or congratulating any of the New Orleans players.

The custom is that the players on the losing team will congratulate the players on the winning team, so what Manning did is being called poor sportsmanship by a lot of people. To the contrary, Drew Brees stated that he does not hold anything against Manning because he knows how that frustration feels.
