Saints Win Super Bowl
MIAMI (AP) - The New Orleans Saints stymied Peyton Manning, then intercepted him to seal the Super Bowl, rallying to beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 Sunday night. Tracy Porter intercepted a pass from Manning - of all people - and sprinted 74 yards for a touchdown and a 31-17 lead with 3:12 left. Playing in the Super Bowl for the first time, the Saints went on a 31-7 run after falling behind 10-0 early. MVP Drew Brees went 32 for 39 for 288 yards for the Saints, tying Tom Brady's Super Bowl record for completions. Brees went 7 for 7 on the drive that put New Orleans ahead to stay, with the score coming on a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey. Manning's interception was the game's lone turnover, and he was rolled to the turf trying in vain to tackle Porter.

Penguins Can't Slow Down Capitals
WASHINGTON (AP) - Neither snow nor ice nor a three-goal deficit could keep Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals from stunning their archrivals and winning a 14th straight game. Ovechkin scored an arena-rocking hat trick and got the assist on the winning goal in overtime Sunday, while the Capitals kept up their pursuit of NHL history with a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Mike Knuble poked in the rebound 2:49 into overtime after Ovechkin's shot hit the post during a Capitals power play, earned when Brooks Orpik was sent off for high sticking. The Capitals' winning streak is three shy of the league mark of 17, set by the Penguins from March 9-April 10, 1993. Ovechkin now has a league-high 42 goals.
