NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Unheralded Garrett Hartley lifted the New Orleans Saints into their first Super Bowl with a 40-yard field goal in overtime for a 31-28 victory over the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC championship tonight. The Saints will meet Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl in two weeks in Miami.
