FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -The Saints recognize how little chance they’ll have to win New Orleans’ first NFL title if Peyton Manning is, well, Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl.
But it works both ways in this matchup of powerhouse passing games. For Indianapolis to win its second championship in four seasons, the Colts must shut down Drew Brees. He was even more accurate than the four-time MVP Manning in 2009.
Both defensive backfields know the onus is on them to slow down two sensational passers. What the secondaries must do is be smart. They must be patient yet aggressive, and be forgetful. As in: Forget about that 55-yard pass play and move on. And be stingier on the next snap.
