The New Orleans Saints helped lift the spirits of an entire city Feb. 7, 2010, when they defeated the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 to win their first NFL Championship in Super Bowl XLIV. Drew Brees won the game's MVP award, but two key plays that didn’t involve him will be what Saints and Colts fans remember forever. To start the second half, the Saints, trailing by 4, recovered a surprise onside kick which led to a touchdown. Then, with the Colts trailing by 7 in the final minutes, the Saints' Tracy Porter (pictured) stepped in front of Peyton Manning's pass to Reggie Wayne and took it the other way 74-yards for the game-clinching touchdown.
