It was a gutsy call. I don't think it was a smart call but it was a turning point and worked out great for them. This compounded the effect it had on the Colts defense since they had been on the field most the second quarter. But, I did think it took unusually long for them to make the call as to who had the ball at the end of the play. The interception happened when the game was already in doubt. The Saints played good. You have to give them their props.
From a motivation standpoint they had basicly the whole country behind them. The crowd was backing them that's for sure. They might as well have played the game in the Superdome.
