Colts take early lead in Super Bowl
Football Betting Lines
02/07/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Peyton Manning capped a 96-yard drive with a 19- yard touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon, giving the Indianapolis Colts a 10-0 lead over New Orleans after one quarter of Super Bowl XLIV.
The Colts are off to a great start in their bid for a second championship in four years. Manning, a four-time league MVP, led the Colts to the Super Bowl title over Chicago following the 2006 season in this same stadium.
He engineered Indy on a scoring drive on the team's first possession with Matt Stover kicking a 38-yard field goal. Garcon's TD grab came with 36 seconds left in the quarter.
The Saints, in the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history, got the ball first, but went three-and-out. It was the 13th straight year the NFC team has won the coin toss to start the game.
Manning then engineered the Colts on an 11-play, 53-yard march, picking apart the Saints' defense with short passes, and converting a pair of third downs. One of those came on a pass to Dallas Clark and another on a 14-yard connection to Austin Collie, moving the ball to the New Orleans 25.
Another third down pass to Garcon fell incomplete and Stover converted his 16th consecutive field goal in the postseason at the midway point of the period.
Drew Brees, responsible for leading the Saints to the league's top-ranked offense during the season, drove his team to midfield, but a 3rd-and-7 pass to Marques Colston fell incomplete.
Indianapolis was pinned at its four following a punt, but methodically moved down the field with Joseph Addai responsible for 53 yards rushing. He ripped off a 26-yard run on 3rd-and-1, advancing the ball to the 23. Three plays later, Manning, in shotgun formation, found Garcon, who got behind defenders on the right side of the end zone.
The 96-yard march, which took 11 plays, tied the longest drive in Super Bowl history.
The quarter ended with the Saints pinned deep in their territory.
Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney started the game despite not practicing for two weeks due to an ankle injury.
