Additionally, the Saints outgained the Vikings in punt and kickoff return yards 166 to 50. The key play of the game occurred late in the fourth quarter with the score tied 28–28 and the Vikings driving for a potential game-winning field goal. With less than a minute left, they reached the Saints 33-yard line. But after two runs for no gain and a penalty that pushed them back to the 38, Porter picked off a pass from Favre to send the game into overtime.

Four completions by Brees for 36 yards, as well as an unnecessary roughness penalty against linebacker <a href="/wiki/Philip_Wheeler" title="Philip Wheeler">Philip Wheeler</a>, helped the Saints advance to the Indianapolis 22-yard line.

The Colts ran three straight running plays in an effort to wind down the clock and go to halftime with a seven-point lead, but the Saints used up their first two timeouts and kept the Colts from getting a first down.

Clark caught three passes from Manning for 45 yards, while Addai rushed three times for 19 yards, the last for a 4-yard touchdown, to put the Colts back in front with a 17–13 lead with 6:15 remaining in the quarter.

Brees subsequently led the Saints on another touchdown drive featuring seven different players getting the ball. Bush started off the drive with a 12-yard run, then Henderson caught a 6-yard pass on the Colts' 36-yard line. Following an 8-yard catch and run by Bush, Brees completed passes to Colston, wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Robert_Meachem" title="Robert Meachem">Robert Meachem</a>, and tight end <a href="/wiki/David_Thomas_(American_football)" title="David Thomas (American football)">David Thomas</a>, moving the ball to the 5-yard line. After a 3-yard run by Pierre Thomas, Brees threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Shockey. Rather than settle for a six-point lead, and risk a potential Colts game-winning touchdown, the Saints chanced a two-point conversion. Moore caught a pass from Brees while standing at the edge of the end zone and attempted to pull the ball in over the goal line as he fell to the ground and rolled over on his head. The ball was kicked away from Moore's hands by cornerback <a href="/wiki/Jacob_Lacey" title="Jacob Lacey">Jacob Lacey</a>, and the play was ruled an incomplete pass, prompting a coach's challenge from <a href="/wiki/Sean_Payton" title="Sean Payton">Sean Payton</a>.

However, cornerback <a href="/wiki/Tracy_Porter" title="Tracy Porter">Tracy Porter</a> intercepted a pass by Manning at the New Orleans 26 for the game's only takeaway and returned it 74 yards for a touchdown, increasing the Saints' lead to 31–17 with 3:12 remaining.<sup id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-55"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Porter's pick-six improved teams to 10–0 in Super Bowls when returning an interception for a touchdown, although that record is now 12–1 following <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_LI" title="Super Bowl LI">Super Bowl LI</a> (when the New England Patriots overcame a 28–3 deficit to the Atlanta Falcons). </p><p>Now down by two touchdowns, the Colts needed a touchdown on their next drive, followed by a successful onside kick, to stay alive, though they still had all three of their timeouts to use. Manning completed a 40-yard strike to Collie, followed by two passes to Addai for 23 yards to reach the New Orleans 3-yard line. When an offensive pass interference penalty against Garçon on 1st-and-goal pushed them back 10 yards, the Colts got those yards back on a reception by Addai on the next play. However, the next three plays saw a tipped pass by linebacker <a href="/wiki/Scott_Shanle" title="Scott Shanle">Scott Shanle</a> that went off the goal post, Addai getting tackled for a 2-yard loss by defensive tackles <a href="/wiki/Sedrick_Ellis" title="Sedrick Ellis">Sedrick Ellis</a> and <a href="/wiki/Anthony_Hargrove" title="Anthony Hargrove">Anthony Hargrove</a>, and a pass that went through the hands of Wayne, effectively sealing the Saints' first Super Bowl title with 0:44 left on the clock.
