For the third straight year, football fans enjoyed a competitive Super Bowl game that has often left fans disappointed after sitting through many blowouts in recent years.
The New Orleans Saints surprised the sports world by beating an Indianapolis Colts team that was favored to win the game. Much of this occurred thanks to a powerful offensive performance on the part of Drew Brees and his teammates, but the New Orleans defense was equally efficient in limiting Colts quarterback Peyton Manning.
Super Bowl XLIV, the most anticipated game of the season, will be played in just a few days.
It has been an exciting season with two of this year’s top teams facing off in Super Bowl XLIV. The Indianapolis Colts (14-2) and the New Orleans Saints (13-3) will be playing their hearts out for the big win on Sunday, February 07, 2010 at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida.
The Colts’ Dwight Freeney has a third-degree ankle sprain and it hasn’t been determined if he will play Sunday, but speculation says he will be in the game injured or not.
The New Orleans Saints are having a great year in spite of their first loss of the season to the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys came out strong right from the beginning, yet it looked as if the Saints would make their comeback, again, in the last few minutes. The Saints took their first loss of the season 13-1.

Not all NFL games are seen on television. Depending on where you live, if you don’t have the NFL Network , you aren’t going to see some games. If the seats aren’t sold out on a game aired on the NFL Network, then a game cannot be shown on local broadcasting Networks. This was the case of Thursday nights game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Indianapolis Colts.
If Time Warner and the NFL Network don’t come to terms, will the Jaguars move to a new location?
Watch Bloomberg’s Michele Steele report on the NFL Network and it’s restricted availability due to unresolved pricing issues with some cable companies.
The Dallas Cowboys and the undefeated New Orleans Saints will go head to head on Saturday night, but it will only be seen on the NFL Network.
On Saturday night, Time Warner Cable customers will be kept in the dark when the Dallas Cowboys take on the undefeated New Orleans Saints, and Alex Muzquiz, for one, is not happy.
“It’s corporate greed, pal,” said Muzquiz, a Cowboys fan and Time Warner customer. “If I thought someone could do it better, I’d leave (Time Warner) in a heartbeat.”

The Indianapolis Colts remain undefeated in Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos while they break the NFL record for consecutive regular season wins.
Even Peyton Manning’s inconsistency couldn’t derail history for the Indianapolis Colts.
Or preserve the NFL records of New England and San Francisco.
Manning was sensational, throwing three TD passes in the first 23 minutes, then mediocre, getting picked off three times in the Colts’ 28-16 victory over Denver for their 22nd consecutive regular-season win. While Manning struggled late, the defense held off the Broncos as Indy broke the Patriots’ record victory streak set just last year.
If there’s been one moment that epitomizes the New Orleans Saints’ football season, it came last Sunday afternoon outside the nation’s capital. With under two minutes to play and a seven-point lead, the Washington Redskins drove deep into New Orleans’ territory and set up for a chip shot field goal to put the game on ice.
It seemed certain the Saints’ 11-game winning streak was about to come to an end. But in a stunning turn of events, the Redskins’ kicker pushed the ball wide right. The Saints marched down he length of the field in less than a minute to tie the game and then prevail in overtime.
