Manning, Dungy share sweet victory
BY BARRY WILNER

MIAMI — A wet and wild Super Bowl, the winning conditions for Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts.
A team built for indoors found its footing on a rain-soaked field and outplayed the Chicago Bears to win the NFL title 29-17 Sunday night.
The Colts were far less sloppy, particularly their star quarterback, who proved he can indeed win the big game — the biggest game.
That's what it was for Tony Dungy, too. He became the first black coach to win the championship, beating good friend and protege Lovie Smith in a game that featured two black coaches for the first time in Super
Bowl history.
It was a game of firsts; the first rainy Super Bowl and the first time an opening kickoff was run back for a touchdown when sensational Bears rookie Devin Hester sped downfield for 92 vards.
And not since the Buffalo Bills self-destructed with nine turnovers in losing to Dallas 14 years ago had there been so much messiness.
The first half was marred by six turnovers, three for each team. Even football's most clutch kicker, Adam Vinatieri, missed a chip-shot field goal, and an extra point attempt was botched, too.
The second half wasn't quite so ugly, but when much-maligned Bears quarterback Rex Grossman's wobbler was picked off and returned 56 yards for a touchdown by Kelvin Hayden
with 11:44 remaining, it was over.
Chicago (15-4), which led the league in takeaways this season, finished with five turnovers, including two interceptions by Grossman.
The Colts (16-4) will take it. Its their first title since the 1970 season, when they played in Baltimore.
Manning ended up 25 for 38 for 247 vards, with one touchdown and one interception, and was the games most valuable player.
It was confirmation of his brilliance, even if he didn't need to be dynamic. The son of a quarter back who never got to the playoffs. Manning has been a star throughout his college career at Tennessee and his nine pro seasons with the Colts.
Now he is a champion.
It also was a validation of Dung's leadership. He helped build Tampa
Bay, one of the NFL's worst trumphs,
into a contender before being fired
after the 2001 season. The next year,
the Bucs won the Super Bowl under
Jon Gruden.
The Colts hosted their coach on their shoulders and he switched his blue Colts cap for a white one that read "NFL Champions."
Dungy was carried from the side line, then was lowered so he could share a long embrace and a handshake with Smith.
Then Dungy waded through the mob to find his quarterback, giving him a big hug.
The Colts reached the pinnacle by winning four postseason games with a defense that made a complete turnaround in the playoffs.
