The New Orleans Saints were the underdogs coming into yesterday’s Super Bowl - a small-market team in its first Super Bowl playing against the Colts, a team that raised the Lombardi Trophy just three years ago. But the Saints’ victory and Tracy Porter’s breakaway proved why we watch sports and why we even play the game.
Fans like comebacks and cheering for underdogs, which may explain why the game was viewed by a record 106.5 million people, according to Nielsen ratings, making it the most-watched TV broadcast in U.S. history.
