He marched his team into New Orleans territory, with the line of scrimmage set at the New Orleans 31. The Colts were facing a 3rd and 5; Manning in the shotgun received the snap; the Saints defensive line had little to no pressure on Manning who was standing in a clean pocket; the left edge of the pocket was being forced in, Manning stepped up in the pocket and slung the ball to open receiver Reggie Wayne.
Wayne, like he had done thousands of times before finished his route, turned to face Manning and sat on his route. Just before Reggie Wayne caught the ball, Saints Defensive Back Tracy Porter jumped the route, intercepting the football. Porter took the INT and turned it into a pick 6, sealing the win for the Saints with his 74 yard Interception for a Touch Down.
