The Green Bay Packers are off to a strong start in Super Bowl XLV, outscoring the Pittsburgh Steelers 14–0 at the end of the first quarter.
After a couple three-and-outs, Aaron Rodgers got rolling, finally hitting Jordy Nelson for a TD.
Antonio Brown’s 37-yard runback was nullified by a penalty leaving the Steelers on their own 7.
On the first Pittsburgh play from scrimmage of the series, Ben Roehtlisberger got whacked on the shoulder by Green Bay’s Howard Green. The pass fell short, and Green Bay defensive back Nick Collins scooped it up and ran it back for a second green Bay touchdown
Rashard Mendenhall made a few good runs for Pittsburgh, but the Steelers couldn’t sustain a drive.
Aaron Rodger had five completions in a row, plus a few minor rushing gains. It looked like Green Bay was quicker to find the holes in Pittsburgh’s defense, while Ben Roethlisberger couldn’t quite find the rhythm.
