Fourth quarter

8:01 -- The Saints appear to have held on a big third down. But the Colts appear to be going for it.

8:02 -- And they get it on a pass to Reggie Wayne.

8:04 -- Former Ohio State star Malcolm Jenkins makes a tackle. I forgot he was even on the Saints.

8:05 -- Matt Stover, the ageless one, misses wide left on a 51-yard field goal try.

8:12 -- Saints driving again. This is looking pretty good for them. The clock is ticking fast.

8:13 -- Touchdown! Jeremy Shockey. Probably the most notable football accomplishment in his off-the-field focused career.

8:15 -- Saints fail on two-point conversion, though the replay shows Lance Moore came darn close to making the catch.

8:18 -- This is such a weird play, and the Saints are challenging it. I'm going to guess the Saints won't get the call.

8:19 -- Oh my, the Saints get the two points! They had so many calls go in their favor in the NFC Championship Game. Maybe they're charmed this year.

8:29 -- A big third down and Peyton Manning throws an interception! Tracy Porter returns it for a touchdown. The Saints are going to pull off the upset!

8:32 -- CBS has done a nice job of sticking with shots of the game when they could have shown us Kim Kardashian all night. We've hardly seen the French Quarter, the Manning family or sappy player profiles.

8:41 -- The Colts are scrambling, but I still don't see how they can tie this up.

8:42 -- Is there a more tired tradition than the Gatorade bath? Waiting for the inevitable...

8:43 -- Manning incomplete on fourth and goal (Reggie Wayne dropped it). The Saints have clinched it.

8:46 -- And the Saints have done it. Coach Skywalker is on the shoulders of his team. French Quarter is excited. I have to think Brees will win the MVP. The crows are roosting. Good night now!
