Starting the second half with an onside kick is nothing new. Andy Reid has done it a couple of times in his career as the Eagles head coach.

However, doing it in the Super Bowl? That is almost unheard of. If it fails, the Colts have a great shot to score and take a 17-6 lead. The Saints recovered it and now have a shot to take a lead.

This wasn’t the first gutsy call Sean Payton made this game. late in the first half, he went for it on 4th-and-goal from the two. The Saints were stopped, but those calls showed confidence in his team and players. It’s calls like that that can win championships. Conservative play calling like the type displayed by Reid in recent years usually sends teams home.
