One quarter is in the books for the 44th Super Bowl and the Indianapolis Colts are absolutely dominating the New Orleans Saints on both sides of the ball.

Drew Brees is 3/7 for 27 yards. The lone “big play” for the Saints came on a 16 yard run by Reggie Bush, which made for their only first down of the quarter.

Peyton Manning on the other hand is cruising on 9/14 passing for 88 yards. Dallas Clark and Pierre Garcon both have over 20 yards receiving.

Garcon has the only touchdown of the game on a 19 yard pass from Manning.

All Colts all the time early in this one. Let’s hope the Saints show some fight or this will be a long, long game.
