Super Bowl XLV Recap - Patriots Win Over the Saints, 29-14!

Time to craft another one of these for Robert Kraft

The New England Patriots came out in Super Bowl XLV firing on all cylinders, getting three on their first drive, then putting up 17 points in the second quarter. New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees tried to keep pace with the Patriots' prolific offense, and actually ended the game with more passing yards than Patriots QB Tom Brady, but two interceptions proved too costly for the Saints, with the Pats' young but energetic defense. Red zone % was also telling, as for New Orleans, it was 2 for 3 opportunities, whereas for the Patriots, it was 5 for 5. And it's not a big surprise that the season's MVP was deemed the Super Bowl MVP, as Brady finished with a 108.5 passer rating with a 7.6 average, 75% completion percentage, one touchdown and zero interceptions.
Brady, seated near TE Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski, soaks in the celebratory moment with some camera time.

Saints QB Drew Brees hangs his head in disappointment at not being able to repeat a Super Bowl win.

The Patriots celebrate the championship directly with the fans via parade through the streets of downtown Boston.

Of course, a NFL championship victory would not be complete without a trip to the White House and presentation of the Presidential jersey.
