Saints Recover Surprise Onside Kick, Take Lead at Super Bowl

Drew Brees

In an incredible start to the second half, the New Orleans Saints successfully recovered an onside kick.

The ball was kicked toward the Saints sideline and as the scrum ensued, it appeared that nearly the entire Saints sideline converged around the ball as officials tried to pull the players apart.

There was plenty of pushing and shoving going on between the two teams during the skirmish as well.

The Saints then went on a six-play 58-yard scoring drive to take the lead that was capped off by a 16-yard Drew Brees touchdown pass to Pierre Thomas.

As of the touchdown, the Saints were on a 13-0 scoring run against the Colts.

Meanwhile, Dwight Freeney was on the sidelines at the start of the second half with the training staff attending to his injured ankle.
