Saints win 1st NFL title by beating Colts 31-17

The New Orleans Saints turned the Super Bowl's postgame celebration into something out of the French Quarter.

From the trophy podium on the field, Drew Brees blew kisses and caught confetti raining down as Dr. John and Professor Longhair blared from the stadium speakers. Sean Payton hung over the railing clapping and shouting down to the crowd as if he were rolling on a Mardi Gras float, then waved a newspaper with the banner headline "WORLD CHAMPS."
