Are the Colts destined to win Super Bowl XLIV?
To say that the Indianapolis Colts will have some sort of homecourt advantage in Super Bowl XLIV is a HUGE understatement. The New Orleans Saints may have the emotional drive going for them but when it comes to playing for the Super Bowl, in Miami, it seems you just can’t go wrong with the Colts.
And in case you didn’t get that, yes, the 16-2 Indianapolis Colts, who won their second AFC championship in four seasons, will play the 15-3 New Orleans Saints for the Super Bowl at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida.
Miami, of course, is old hat for the Colts. All four of their Super Bowl appearances, including their two wins, have taken place in South Florida. And it seems kinda’ strange that the Colts found a way to return to the Super Bowl to play the New Orleans Saints at the same time the league decided to return to Miami for the big game.
The Colts advanced to their fourth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, their second of the Indianapolis era, by rallying from an 11-point first-half deficit against the New York Jets.
Quarterback Peyton Manning was simply phenomenal as he completed 26 of 39 passes for 377 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
Manning threw touchdown passes on three of four possessions in a span covering the second, third and fourth quarters to turn a 17-6 deficit into a 27-17 Colts lead.
The Colts, who beat the Chicago Bears, 29-17, to win Super Bowl XLI in Miami, over the last two years also set an NFL record by winning 23 consecutive regular-season games.
Yes, these guys are already hard to beat and they just get even harder to conquer when they’re in Miami playing for the Super Bowl title. But don’t tell Drew Brees that.
