The Saints were just a better team. Their statistics were better for the year when adjusted for strength of opponent (S-O).

The Colts let 'em win because Peyton's dad is Archie Manning and he wanted his old team, the Saints, to win a Super Bowl.

The word used by commentators was "destiny". The Saints fell short of meeting the Colts in 2006 (leaving that to the Bears). They knew that it would take two or three years to assemble the most potent offense in the NFL, which is exactly what happened. When you go 13-0, you should expect to be in the big game, and to win it. Unfortunately, Manning now has to deal with another "coulda shoulda" season.
this is the fourth.. Once as the Baltimore Colts....? Let me know if I'm right..
Let them watch the SUPER BOWL
Coaches with winning records have been fired. One example would be in 2006 head Coach Marty Schottenheimer lead the Chargers to a 14-2 record, before losing in the playoffs to the Patriots. With ownership questioning his ability to win in the playoffs, he was let go after the 2006 Super Bowl.
The Cleveland Browns have not won a Super Bowl, let alone two. The Browns have never been to the Super Bowl.
There was a controversial play at the beginning of the second half of Super Bowl V, when the Dallas Cowboys were leading the Baltimore Colts, 13-6. An official ruled that the Colts had recovered a fumble by Dallas running back Duane Thomas near the Colts' goal line. The Cowboys argued that Thomas had simply let go of the ball when the play was over. Nonetheless, the ball was given to the Colts, denying the Cowboys a chance to extend their lead. The Colts eventually won the game 16-13 on a last-second field goal by Baltimore kicker Jim O'Brien.
One answer: They played a better game. They didn't let nerves get to them in the last half when it really counted and some on the team even say that destiny had it out for them to win it all. They may not have won every game, but they won the one they played for all season; the Super Bowl.
I don't know.Please let a freind help me out.
sadely no, but maybe in a couple of years, let's just hope
Never because the nfl and the press never give the chiefs a fair shake. Till they win a super bowl they will never get any respect. That goes for the city of kansas city. But let's dote on the jets pats and the other 29 teams.
Let's Bowl was created in 1998.
The Cleveland Browns have never won, let alone played in, a Super Bowl. However, they did win the NFL Championship in 1950, 1954, 1955, and 1964 before the merger and creation of the Super Bowl.
