Best Answer

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.

Which Dallas Cowboys player fumbled in a 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.
