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

1. The Colts did a good job staying the course in the third quarter. The Saints had a lot of momentum and Indianapolis managed to get out of the third quarter with the lead.

2. Colts DE Dwight Freeney isn’t 100 percent. He made an impact in the first half, but seems to be struggling in the second half.

3. WR Reggie Wayne has been quiet so far. Don’t look for that to last.

4. The Colts’ defense has been very good so far. They’ve allowed the one touchdown — and that was after an onside kick.

5. This is closer than the Colts would like, but it still feels like they have control of the momentum.
