At tonight's New Orleans Saints/Indianapolis Colts game, the Saints will hold a half time ceremony to honor the 2009 Super Bowl XLIV championship team.

Players will be wearing a commemorative patch on their jerseys tonight. Punter Thomas Morstead, the only player besides Drew Brees who is still on the Saints roster from the 2009 season, tweeted a picture of it over the weekend.

Coincidentally, the Super Bowl victory came over the Indianapolis Colts, tonight's opponent. 

Quarterbacking the Colts in that game was New Orleans native Peyton Manning. Drew Brees is two touchdown passes shy of matching Manning's NFL record 539 career touchdowns, a mark he could tie or possibly eclipse tonight.
