Super Bowl XLIV: Indy Football Report Editor John Oehser offers five first-quarter thoughts . . .

1. The Colts have controlled momentum early — and on both sides of the ball. They got 10 points in their early surge, and getting that touchdown at the end of the first quarter was important.

2. The Colts are controlling things and you don’t get the feeling Manning has completely figured out what the Saints are doing. That bodes well.

3. The Colts’ secondary looks very active, as does their entire defense.

4. Colts DE Dwight Freeney may not be 100 percent, but he has helped get some pressure early.

5. Colts RB Joseph Addai has been huge. Must be Miami Super Bowls.
