XLIV
Will the Saints go marching in?
Or is the Super Bowl Peyton's place.
We'll find out starting at 6:30 p.m. (or a few minutes later) Sunday, when the Saints and Colts meet at Joe Robbie/Dolphins/Sun Life Stadium on CBS. Both teams have already visited the facility and won this season - first time that has ever happened.
Some more fun facts from our friends at http://www.the506.com/. Impress your friends.
The Saints make their first appearance in the big game, the ninth different NFC team in the last nine years.
The Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVIII were the last team in a dark jersey to win. They and the Panthers played at Houston's Reliant Stadium prior to meeting there in the big game.
All four Super Bowls featuring the Colts have been played in the Miami area.
Colts coach Jim Caldwell took over for Tony Dungy this season. When Dungy left Tampa Bay in 2001, the Jon Gruden-led Bucs won the Super Bowl the following season.
The Colts have already won with a first-year head coach - Super Bowl V after Don Shula left for Miami.
