FIRST QUARTER (8:19 remaining)

On their second possession of the game, the Colts quickly found the end zone. Quarterback Peyton Manning led the offense 90 yards down the field in less than four minutes and capped off an eight-play drive with a 15-yard touchdown pass to running back Joseph Addai. Addai scored on a screen pass and benefitted from some strong blocking by the offensive line down field.  COLTS 7, PATRIOTS 0

On the play, Addai injured his finger and his return is questionable.
