New Orleans Saints 14-9 Minnesota Vikings

The New Orleans Saints opened their Super Bowl title defence with a 14-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings yesterday.

To celebrate the team's first Super Bowl win, over the Indianapolis Colts in Miami in February, opening night was marked with a rock concert in New Orleans' Jackson Square.

The Saints took to the field to a deafening roar of the fan chant "Who Dat?" and the 70,000 crowd made themselves heard whenever the Vikings quarterback, Brett Favre, was set up for a snap. The 40-year-old said it had been tough to make himself heard.

"Anytime you're in a game like that where there are festivities and everything beforehand, you have got to remain calm," the Saints quarterback, Drew Brees, told reporters.
