Colts And Saints Move On To Superbowl

The Indianapolis Colts topped the New York Jets in the early game today, winning by a score of 30-17.  The Jets looked strong in the first quarter, scoring two touchdowns early but failed to capitalize on it later in the game.

The Saints took the later game after Brett Farve threw a interception when he really should have kept it on the ground for a little better field position.  A field goal was almost a certainty without the interception.  The game went to overtime, with the Saints driving down the field.  They also had the help of some penalties and bad calls.  Hartley kicked the fieldgoal from 40 yards out and the game was over.

The Superbowl teams were no surprise as both teams went deep into the season undefeated.  The surprise to me was that the early game was decisively the Colts, and the later game was never more than 7 points different and tied many times.
