The Indianapolis Colts took a seven-point lead into the locker room after two quarters of play against the New Orleans Saints in Superbowl LXIV, but the Saints took the momentum.
The Colts came out strong, moving the ball on offense and shutting down the Saints on defense, scoring ten points in the first quarter while the Saints managed only ten offensive plays.
The Saints turned it around in the second quarter, holding the Colts to only fifteen yards on six offensive plays, while Drew Brees took the Saints into scoring range three times. The Colts made a huge goal-line stand once, but then couldn’t move the ball, giving the Saints another opportunity, which Drew Brees did not waste, getting the Saints into range for a last-second field goal.
When the half ended, the Saints had looked stronger than the Colts had in the first quarter. The second half is totally up for grabs.
