Filed under: Colts, Saints, NFL Playoffs, Super Bowl MIAMI -- If ever there was a Super Bowl champion that was more than just a Super Bowl champion, it's the New Orleans Saints.

We played for 'Who Dat' nation,'' said Drew Brees, who four-and-a-half years after the Saints were driven from their homes by Hurricane Katrina, led his team to a 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts. "The city was 85 percent under water, most of the population moved to other cities, and none of them knew if they'd ever come back. It's just an amazing feeling.''
