Saturday NFL - Saints And Colts Move On

The Saints overcame a 14-0 deficit to defeat the Arizona Cardinals by 45-14, which means that the Saints shutout the Cardinals except for the first two minutes of play.  I knew that the Saints would be tough to beat in the postseason and was a little stumped as to why they struggled the last few weeks.  I remember the New England game where they just walked all over New England.  As for this game, I was only able to watch it to halftime, but the Saints had moved decisively against the Cardinals by then.

The Colts played the Ravens and won by a score of 20-3.  The Ravens really could mount no offence against the Colts although the first quarter of play the score was 3-3.  The Ravens defence sounded like (I listened on radio) they were keeping the Colts in check but ultimately they could not keep Payton Manning down.  I was concerned about the Colts because they benched their first string players during the last games of the season and strategy that had not worked out for them before.  Now I am a believer and I think they will be tough to beat in the post season.  Could we see the Saints against the Colts in the Superbowl?
