The New Orleans Saints were able to prolong their Super Bowl celebration after claiming victory over the Minnesota Vikings in yesterday’s NFC Championship rematch at the Superdome. Drew Brees completed 27 of 36 passes for 237 yards and one touchdown to outduel Brett Favre, who finished with 171 yards from 15 receptions with one touchdown and one interception. The contest marked the Saints lowest scoring win since head coach Sean Payton took over back in 2006. “We’re not used to 14-9 victories, but we’re used to winning,” said Brees. “We knew we would have to play better in a lot of areas than we did last year (against the Vikings) and I felt like we did. We just showed that we can win in a lot of different ways.” Pierre Thomas established the running game for New Orleans with 71 yards and one TD from 19 carries. Reggie Bush chimed in with 14 yards from two carries and caught five passes to rack up an additional 33. Minnesota will have over a week to prepare for their next game at home against the Miami Dolphins Sunday September 19th. Despite the hard fought loss, they are still ranked atop the NFC North alongside Favre’s former Green Bay Packers. “We were right where we wanted to be at halftime,” said Vikings head coach Brad Childress. “Then it was three-and-out, three-and-out. There were not a lot of throws to be made downfield.” The Saints are set to take on the San Francisco 49ers next Monday.

The wait is over. This past week marked the first round of NFL matchups since the New Orleans Saints earned their first ever title in Super Bowl XLIV.

Other teams looking to make a run at a title include the Baltimore Ravens, Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets. That said, it’s clear that no accurate predictions can be made in regards to who comes out on top with all of the competition in place. Week 1 certainly allowed us to catch a first glance and set a few expectations for our respective teams. The AFC East remains one of the more challenging divisions with the Jets and Dolphins improving to challenge the Patriots. The AFC South will make for some good football between the Colts, Texans and revamped Titans. Check for all scores listed below!

Drew Brees completed 32 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns to claim MVP rights while leading his New Orleans Saints past the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 Sunday at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, FL. New Orleans fans have waited 43 years for the Saints to win it all, and Brees was certainly estatic to give his beloved city a reason to celebrate. “Just to think of the road we’ve all traveled, the adversity we’ve all faced,” said Brees. “It’s unbelievable. I mean, are you kidding me? Four years ago, whoever thought this would be happening…We just all looked at one another and said, ‘We’re going to rebuild together. We are going to lean on each other.’ That’s what we’ve done the last four years and this is the culmination in all that belief.”  Indianapolis was in control from the start, posting 10 in the first quarter while holding the Saints scoreless through the entire block. New Orleans then battled for two field goals before heading into the locker room to make it 10-6. Following a Saints onside kick recovery, Brees marched his men down field to earn their first lead of the contest. Manning and Co. were able to bounce right back for six to reclaim the advantage, but from there it was all about the Saints. The final dagger came with 3:12 left in regulation when Tracy Porter jumped out for a 74 yard interception return. “Made a great play,” said Manning in disappointment after the game. “Corner made a heck of a play.” The Saints are set to join the rest of New Orleans at the parade Tuesday afternoon. “It means everything,” said Brees. “We’re here because of their strength and everything they fought through here the last few years. They’ve given us so much support, so we owe it all to our fans.”
