I'm a sucker for irrelevant Super Bowl history. The Colts are making their 4th appearance in the Super Bowl. They are 2-1 and 1-0 since moving to Indianapolis. Peyton Manning will play in his second Super Bowl, leading the Colts over the Bears in Super Bowl XLI and earning the game's MVP award. This is (obviously) rookie coach Jim Caldwell's first Super Bowl as head coach. He's the fifth rookie coach to make the game.
This is the Saints first ever Super Bowl appearance. Sean Payton is making his first appearance in the Super Bowl as head coach as well. Drew Brees will also make his first appearance.
The Saints are the 7th franchise to make their first Super Bowl appearance in the last 11 years. The Cardinals did so last year, the Seahawks in Super Bowl XL, the Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, the Bucs the year before, the Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV, the Titans the year before and the Falcons the year before that. The Lions are now the only NFC franchise to never have made a Super Bowl. The Browns, Jaguars, Texans haven't made one from the AFC. The Saints are one of 15 franchises never to have won a Super Bowl.
