More from the Huddle
With the Super Bowl less than a week away, it's time to start getting pumped for what will more than likely be a classic matchup of a pair of good ole fashion gunslingers. It looks like the folks in Vegas are expecting a shootout with the over under set in the upper 50's and they would be right (if you asked me).
The Saints boast the number one offense in scoring and yards, while the Colts will have Peyton Manning and it add and there's just too much offense. Expect more fireworks on Sunday than the fourth of July.....
10 Things...
that should make this a Super Sunday Shootout!!
1. The Saints quarterback Drew Brees passed for over 4,000 yards in 2009 for the fourth consecutive season.
2. The Saints big play offense has scored nine touchdowns in the post season and the team is averaging 38 points per game.
3. The Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has passed for over 600 yards in the playoffs and thrown five touchdowns.
4. Running back Reggie Bush has totaled 149 yards in the playoffs and is averaging over eight yards each time he touches the ball; he also has an 83-yard punt return for six.
5. Both Saints wide receivers Marques Colston and Robert Meachum each caught nine touchdowns in 2009 to lead the team.
6. The Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne and tight end Dallas Clark each hauled in 100 passes in 2009 to lead the team.
7. Both quarterbacks are hot in the post season with each coming off a three touchdown performance in the title games.
8. Both the Saints and Colts ranked in the top five this season in passing with Brees throwing 34 touchdowns and Manning tossing 33 of his own.
9. The Saints defense has been opportunistic with 39 takeaways in 2009, but they ranked 26th against the pass allowing nearly 240 yards in the air per game.
10. The Colts defense had their troubles in 2009 with the ground game ranked 24th and allowing more than 125 yards per contest.
