The Saints entered the game with a <a href="/wiki/2009_New_Orleans_Saints_season" title="2009 New Orleans Saints season">13–3 record</a> for the 2009 regular season, compared to the Colts' <a href="/wiki/2009_Indianapolis_Colts_season" title="2009 Indianapolis Colts season">14–2 record</a>. In the <a href="/wiki/2009%E2%80%9310_NFL_playoffs" title="2009–10 NFL playoffs">playoff games</a>, both teams placed first in their conferences, marking the first time since <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXVIII" title="Super Bowl XXVIII">Super Bowl XXVIII</a> (16 years previously) that both number-one seeds have reached the Super Bowl. The Colts entered the Super Bowl off victories over the <a href="/wiki/2009_Baltimore_Ravens_season" title="2009 Baltimore Ravens season">Baltimore Ravens</a> and <a href="/wiki/2009_New_York_Jets_season" title="2009 New York Jets season">New York Jets</a>, while the Saints advanced after defeating the previous year's runners up, the <a href="/wiki/2009_Arizona_Cardinals_season" title="2009 Arizona Cardinals season">Arizona Cardinals</a>, and then overcoming the <a href="/wiki/2009_Minnesota_Vikings_season" title="2009 Minnesota Vikings season">Minnesota Vikings</a> in the Conference Championship. It was also the first time both teams started with a 13-game winning streak.

During a play many consider the turning point of the game, <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Morstead" title="Thomas Morstead">Thomas Morstead</a> kicked off the second half with a surprise <a href="/wiki/Onside_kick" title="Onside kick">onside kick</a>. The Saints recovered the kick and soon got their first lead of the game with <a href="/wiki/Pierre_Thomas_(American_football)" title="Pierre Thomas (American football)">Pierre Thomas</a>'s 16-yard touchdown reception. The Colts responded with <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Addai" title="Joseph Addai">Joseph Addai</a>'s 4-yard touchdown run to regain the lead at 17–13. The Saints then scored 18 unanswered points, including <a href="/wiki/Tracy_Porter" title="Tracy Porter">Tracy Porter</a>'s 74-yard interception return for a touchdown, to clinch the victory. New Orleans quarterback <a href="/wiki/Drew_Brees" title="Drew Brees">Drew Brees</a>, who completed 32 of 39 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns, was named the <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_Most_Valuable_Player_Award" title="Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award">Super Bowl MVP</a>.<a href="#cite_note-BreesMVP-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> His 32 completions tied a Super Bowl record set by <a href="/wiki/Tom_Brady" title="Tom Brady">Tom Brady</a> in <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXVIII" title="Super Bowl XXXVIII">Super Bowl XXXVIII</a>.

The Colts franchise was playing its fourth Super Bowl, all of which were played in Miami (two at the Orange Bowl and two at then-named Sun Life Stadium).

Fourteen players from the Super Bowl participants, seven from each team, had been selected but were unable to participate due to the change. The new schedule took advantage of the bye week given to the conference champions to rest and prepare for the Super Bowl.

But in the off-season, the team's fortunes began to turn. First, they signed free agent quarterback <a href="/wiki/Drew_Brees" title="Drew Brees">Drew Brees</a>, who would go on to throw for more passing yards than any other quarterback over the next four seasons. They also drafted multi-talented <a href="/wiki/Heisman_Trophy" title="Heisman Trophy">Heisman Trophy</a> winning (since <a href="/wiki/Heisman_Trophy#vacation" title="Heisman Trophy">vacated</a>) running back <a href="/wiki/Reggie_Bush" title="Reggie Bush">Reggie Bush</a>, receiver <a href="/wiki/Marques_Colston" title="Marques Colston">Marques Colston</a>, and guard <a href="/wiki/Jahri_Evans" title="Jahri Evans">Jahri Evans</a>, three players who would become major contributors on the Saints' offense. The following season, New Orleans improved to 10–6 and advanced to the NFC title game for the first time, which they lost to the <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Bears" title="Chicago Bears">Chicago Bears</a>. Although they failed to make the playoffs over the next two seasons, they continued to sign new talent, and by 2009 they were ready to make another run at the Super Bowl. The Saints' offense led the NFL in scoring, averaging just under 32 points per game. Brees finished the season as the NFL's top rated quarterback (109.6), completing an NFL-record 70.6% of his passes for 4,338 yards and 34 touchdowns, with just 11 interceptions.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> His top target was Colston, who caught 70 passes for 1,074 yards and 9 touchdowns, but he had plenty of other weapons, such as receivers <a href="/wiki/Devery_Henderson" title="Devery Henderson">Devery Henderson</a> (51 receptions) and <a href="/wiki/Robert_Meachem" title="Robert Meachem">Robert Meachem</a> (45), along with tight ends <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Shockey" title="Jeremy Shockey">Jeremy Shockey</a> (48) and <a href="/wiki/David_Thomas_(American_football)" title="David Thomas (American football)">Dave Thomas</a> (35). With fullback <a href="/wiki/Heath_Evans" title="Heath Evans">Heath Evans</a> out of action due to injury for most of the season, Dave Thomas often lined up as a fullback, with tackle <a href="/wiki/Zach_Strief" title="Zach Strief">Zach Strief</a> serving as an extra blocker on short yardage plays. The ground attack was led by running backs <a href="/wiki/Pierre_Thomas_(American_football)" title="Pierre Thomas (American football)">Pierre Thomas</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mike_Bell_(running_back)" title="Mike Bell (running back)">Mike Bell</a>. Thomas rushed for 793 yards and caught 39 passes for 302, while Bell added 654 yards on the ground. Bush was also a major contributor, rushing for 390 yards (with a 5.6 yards per carry average), catching 47 passes for 335 yards, and adding another 130 yards returning punts. New Orleans also had a strong offensive line with three Pro Bowl selections: guard <a href="/wiki/Jahri_Evans" title="Jahri Evans">Jahri Evans</a>, center <a href="/wiki/Jonathan_Goodwin_(American_football)" title="Jonathan Goodwin (American football)">Jonathan Goodwin</a>, and tackle <a href="/wiki/Jon_Stinchcomb" title="Jon Stinchcomb">Jon Stinchcomb</a>. Defensive lineman <a href="/wiki/Will_Smith_(defensive_end)" title="Will Smith (defensive end)">Will Smith</a> led the team in sacks with 13. Another big weapon on defense was linebacker <a href="/wiki/Jonathan_Vilma" title="Jonathan Vilma">Jonathan Vilma</a>, who led the team with 87 tackles and intercepted three passes. The Saints' secondary was led by 12-year veteran safety <a href="/wiki/Darren_Sharper" title="Darren Sharper">Darren Sharper</a>, who recorded 9 interceptions and set an NFL record by returning them for 376 yards and three touchdowns. Cornerback <a href="/wiki/Tracy_Porter" title="Tracy Porter">Tracy Porter</a> was also effective, recording 49 tackles and 4 picks with one touchdown. The Saints started out the season strong, winning their first 13 games. But then they became the first 13–0 team ever to lose their last three games of the year. After losing their 14th game to the <a href="/wiki/Dallas_Cowboys" title="Dallas Cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> 24–17, they suffered a narrow loss to the <a href="/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Buccaneers" title="Tampa Bay Buccaneers">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> (20–17 in overtime) after <a href="/wiki/Garrett_Hartley" title="Garrett Hartley">Garrett Hartley</a> missed a potential game-winning field goal. With the team's playoff seed clinched, head coach Sean Payton chose to rest Brees and other starters in the final game of the season, resulting in a 23–10 loss to the <a href="/wiki/Carolina_Panthers" title="Carolina Panthers">Carolina Panthers</a>. The string of defeats cast a cloud over the team's postseason chances.

The Cardinals were coming off a 51–45 overtime win over the <a href="/wiki/2009_Green_Bay_Packers_season" title="2009 Green Bay Packers season">Green Bay Packers</a> in which they racked up 531 yards against a defense ranked second in the league in total yards allowed. However, although the Cardinals scored on their first play of the game, the Saints dominated the Cardinals with 35 points in the first half. First, <a href="/wiki/Lynell_Hamilton" title="Lynell Hamilton">Lynell Hamilton</a> scored on a 1-yard run. Then, Sharper recovered a fumble from the Cardinals, setting up Brees' touchdown pass to Shockey. Following a punt, Bush scored on a franchise playoff record 46-yard run. In the second quarter, Brees added two more touchdown passes, one to Henderson on a <a href="/wiki/Flea_flicker_(American_football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Flea flicker (American football)">flea flicker</a> and the other to Colston that was set up by a Will Smith interception, giving them a 35–14 first half lead before adding 10 more points in the second half on a Hartley field goal and Bush's 83-yard punt return. Bush racked up 217 all-purpose yards, while Brees threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> Their opponent in the <a href="/wiki/NFC_Championship_Game" title="NFC Championship Game">NFC Championship Game</a> was the <a href="/wiki/2009_Minnesota_Vikings_season" title="2009 Minnesota Vikings season">Minnesota Vikings</a>, led by 11-time Pro Bowl quarterback <a href="/wiki/Brett_Favre" title="Brett Favre">Brett Favre</a>, who had thrown four touchdown passes in their divisional round win over the <a href="/wiki/2009_Dallas_Cowboys_season" title="2009 Dallas Cowboys season">Dallas Cowboys</a>. Even though the Saints' offense could only muster 257 total yards, their defense made up for it by forcing five turnovers. 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. After the Saints won the coin toss, Pierre Thomas's 40-yard kickoff return set up a 10-play, 39-yard drive that ended with a game winning 40-yard field goal by Hartley, sending the Saints to their first ever Super Bowl. The Colts' first opponent was the <a href="/wiki/2009_Baltimore_Ravens_season" title="2009 Baltimore Ravens season">Baltimore Ravens</a>, a 9–7 squad that had advanced to the divisional round by defeating the <a href="/wiki/2009_New_England_Patriots_season" title="2009 New England Patriots season">New England Patriots</a> 33–14, forcing four turnovers from their All-Pro quarterback <a href="/wiki/Tom_Brady" title="Tom Brady">Tom Brady</a>. Against the Colts, however, all they could manage was a field goal on their opening drive. Indianapolis built up a 17–3 first half lead with a <a href="/wiki/Matt_Stover" title="Matt Stover">Matt Stover</a> field goal and Manning's touchdown passes to Wayne and Collie. In the second half, the Colts survived two interceptions from Ravens safety <a href="/wiki/Ed_Reed" title="Ed Reed">Ed Reed</a> on one drive, one of which Reed fumbled, and the other which was called back by a penalty. Stover, who spent 18 years with the <a href="/wiki/Art_Modell" title="Art Modell">Modell</a> <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Browns_relocation_controversy" title="Cleveland Browns relocation controversy">franchise</a>, finished the drive with his second field goal to make final score 20–3, as their defense put the game away by forcing two consecutive turnovers. Their next opponent was in the <a href="/wiki/AFC_Championship_Game" title="AFC Championship Game">AFC Championship Game</a> against the <a href="/wiki/2009_New_York_Jets_season" title="2009 New York Jets season">New York Jets</a>, who had made the playoffs in part due to Caldwell's decision to <a href="/wiki/Benching_the_starters" class="mw-redirect" title="Benching the starters">bench his starters</a> in their Week 16 meeting. This time, the Colts would have to mount a comeback, as the Jets built up a 17–6 first half lead. Yet the Colts would step up to the challenge, scoring 24 unanswered points. First, Manning completed three passes to Collie for 80 yards, the last one a 16-yard touchdown completion to cut the score to 17–13 at the end of the half. Manning added two more touchdown passes in the second half, one to Garçon and one to Clark, and Stover added a 21-yard field goal to close out the scoring. Manning finished the game with 377 passing yards and three touchdowns, while Garçon and Collie had over 100 receiving yards each.

In the first quarter, CBS aired the advertisement, which had not been pre-released to the public.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> Per a statement released earlier, the ad did not mention the topic of abortion explicitly.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> One proposed sponsor, <a href="/wiki/ManCrunch" title="ManCrunch">ManCrunch</a>, a gay dating site that bills itself as a place "where many many many men come out to play", had expressed interest in purchasing a 30-second advertisement.

ManCrunch's ad, which has since been released to the public, was initially put on a waiting list before the network outright rejected it due to it violating CBS's broadcast standards.

The Saints won the coin toss and chose to receive, but their first possession resulted in a three-and-out and a punt. The Colts' offense took the field for the first time, with the ball spotted at their own 27-yard line. They put together a 53-yard drive that featured two completions from quarterback <a href="/wiki/Peyton_Manning" title="Peyton Manning">Peyton Manning</a> to tight end <a href="/wiki/Dallas_Clark" title="Dallas Clark">Dallas Clark</a>, as well as a 14-yard reception by wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Austin_Collie" title="Austin Collie">Austin Collie</a> on 3rd-and-7. The drive ended with a 38-yard field goal by kicker <a href="/wiki/Matt_Stover" title="Matt Stover">Matt Stover</a> to give Indianapolis an early 3–0 lead. At 42 years old, Stover became the oldest player in NFL history to participate in a Super Bowl. Wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Courtney_Roby" title="Courtney Roby">Courtney Roby</a> returned the ensuing kickoff to his own 26-yard line. Approaching the 25-yard line, Roby swooped into a dive and appeared to fumble the ball, but officials ruled that he was down by contact after taking a hit by Colts cornerback <a href="/wiki/Tim_Jennings" title="Tim Jennings">Tim Jennings</a>. This time, New Orleans managed to get a first down with a 16-yard completion from quarterback <a href="/wiki/Drew_Brees" title="Drew Brees">Drew Brees</a> to running back <a href="/wiki/Reggie_Bush" title="Reggie Bush">Reggie Bush</a>, but they were eventually forced to punt again. <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Morstead" title="Thomas Morstead">Thomas Morstead</a> pinned the Colts back at their own 4-yard line with a 46-yard punt.

Running back <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Addai" title="Joseph Addai">Joseph Addai</a> rushed three times for 53 yards, while Manning completed three passes for 35 yards, the last one a 19-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Pierre_Gar%C3%A7on" title="Pierre Garçon">Pierre Garçon</a>, increasing the Colts' lead to 10–0. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_quarter">Second quarter</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Super_Bowl_XLIV&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Second quarter" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> The Saints' next drive carried over from the previous quarter. 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. But on third down, Brees was sacked for a 7-yard loss by defensive end <a href="/wiki/Dwight_Freeney" title="Dwight Freeney">Dwight Freeney</a>, forcing New Orleans to settle for a 46-yard field goal from kicker <a href="/wiki/Garrett_Hartley" title="Garrett Hartley">Garrett Hartley</a>. After scoring on their first two drives, the Colts were forced to punt for the first time when Garçon dropped a pass on third down. The Saints stormed down the field to set up 1st-and-goal at the Indianapolis 3-yard line, aided by Brees' two passes to wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Marques_Colston" title="Marques Colston">Marques Colston</a> for 40 yards and a 21-yard reception by wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Lance_Moore" title="Lance Moore">Lance Moore</a>. However, the Colts' defense stood their ground. After Moore was stopped for no gain by cornerback <a href="/wiki/Kelvin_Hayden" title="Kelvin Hayden">Kelvin Hayden</a>, a false start penalty against offensive tackle <a href="/wiki/Zach_Strief" title="Zach Strief">Zach Strief</a> pushed New Orleans back to the 8. Running back <a href="/wiki/Pierre_Thomas_(American_football)" title="Pierre Thomas (American football)">Pierre Thomas</a> picked up 7 yards to reach the 1-yard line, but the Saints ended up turning the ball over on downs when Thomas and running back <a href="/wiki/Mike_Bell_(running_back)" title="Mike Bell (running back)">Mike Bell</a> failed to tie the game. 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. Following Bush's 4-yard punt return to his own 48, with 35 seconds and one timeout left to use in the half, Brees completed two passes to wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Devery_Henderson" title="Devery Henderson">Devery Henderson</a> for 25 yards, and Hartley kicked a 44-yard field goal as time expired, cutting New Orleans' deficit to 10–6. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Third_quarter">Third quarter</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Super_Bowl_XLIV&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Third quarter" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> The Colts were set to receive the ball to start the second half but were caught by surprise when the Saints executed an <a href="/wiki/Onside_kick" title="Onside kick">onside kick</a>. This was the first onside kick attempted before the fourth quarter in Super Bowl history,<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a> a play the Saints referred to as "The Ambush."<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a> Morstead kicked the ball to his left, and after traveling almost 15 yards, the ball bounced off the face-mask of Colts wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Hank_Baskett" title="Hank Baskett">Hank Baskett</a>, who failed to make a clean recovery. Several players dove for the loose ball, creating a pile that took over a minute for the officiating crew to separate. When the dust finally cleared, Saints linebacker <a href="/wiki/Jonathan_Casillas" title="Jonathan Casillas">Jonathan Casillas</a> was officially credited with the recovery on the 42-yard line, but he and a number of his teammates insisted that it was actually safety <a href="/wiki/Chris_Reis" title="Chris Reis">Chris Reis</a> who came up with the ball.<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> The Saints' offense took over and stormed down the field on an effective six-play, 58-yard drive in which they never faced a third down. Brees completed five consecutive passes for 51 yards on the drive and capped it off with a "check-down" pass on the right side to Pierre Thomas, who took it 16 yards for the first Saints touchdown of the game behind blocks from Henderson; offensive linemen <a href="/wiki/Jonathan_Goodwin_(American_football)" title="Jonathan Goodwin (American football)">Jonathan Goodwin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jahri_Evans" title="Jahri Evans">Jahri Evans</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Carl_Nicks_(American_football)" title="Carl Nicks (American football)">Carl Nicks</a>; fullback <a href="/wiki/Kyle_Eckel" title="Kyle Eckel">Kyle Eckel</a>; and tight end <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Shockey" title="Jeremy Shockey">Jeremy Shockey</a>. The score gave New Orleans their first lead of the game, 13–10. Indianapolis answered with their own touchdown drive, moving the ball 76 yards in 10 plays. 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. For just the second time in Super Bowl history, both teams scored touchdowns on their initial possessions of the second half; the only other time occurred in <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XIV" title="Super Bowl XIV">Super Bowl XIV</a>. Addai's touchdown proved to be the last Colts score, as the Saints took complete control of the game from then on. On New Orleans' next possession, they reached the Indianapolis 29-yard line, and Hartley kicked his third field goal, a 47-yarder, to cut the Saints' deficit to 17–16. In doing so, he became the first kicker in Super Bowl history to score three field goals of 40 or more yards in the same game. This was the first one-point lead after the third quarter in Super Bowl history and second closest game after three quarters, behind <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXXIX" title="Super Bowl XXXIX">Super Bowl XXXIX</a> which was tied between the <a href="/wiki/New_England_Patriots" title="New England Patriots">New England Patriots</a> and <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Eagles" title="Philadelphia Eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fourth_quarter">Fourth quarter</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Super_Bowl_XLIV&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Fourth quarter" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Indianapolis responded with a drive to the New Orleans 33-yard line, during which Manning completed a 17-yard pass to Garçon, then two passes to wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Reggie_Wayne" title="Reggie Wayne">Reggie Wayne</a> for 24 (including one on 4th-and-2), but came up empty when Stover missed a 51-yard field goal attempt wide left, giving the ball back to the Saints with good field position on their own 41-yard line. 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>. After the review, the ruling on the field was overturned when it was determined that Moore maintained possession of the ball long enough and the ball had crossed the plane of the goal line for a successful conversion, putting the Saints back in front, 24–17, with 5:42 remaining in the game. With a chance to tie the game, Manning led the Colts into Saints territory by completing two passes each to Garçon and Wayne for gains of 27 and 17 yards, respectively. 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.<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> 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). 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.

This alleged slush fund paid out bonuses, or "bounties", for in-game performance in violation of NFL rules, including deliberately injuring or knocking opposing players out of games. The league responded with some of the most severe sanctions in the league's 92-year history, and among the most severe punishments for an on-field incident in North American professional sports history.<a href="#cite_note-ESPNplayers-63">[63]</a> On appeal, former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, appointed by Goodell to investigate, agreed that the bounty program had taken place, but he disagreed that it was the NFL's place to enact disciplinary measures and contended it was the duty of the coaches and management.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> All player suspensions were overturned in 2012.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> In <a href="/wiki/2012_New_Orleans_Saints_season" title="2012 New Orleans Saints season">2012</a>, New Orleans failed to make the playoffs for the first time since their Super Bowl win, with the sanctions for Bountygate cited as one of the primary causes.
