END OF THIRD QUARTER – COLTS 17, RAVENS 3
**
As the third quarter comes to a close, the Colts continue to move the ball down the field amidst a wacky drive. Indianapolis faces 1st-and-goal from the 9. Twice on the drive, Manning threw deep passes down the field that were intercepted by Ravens safety Ed Reed, but both were eventually nullified – one by a fumble (forced by Garcon and recovered by Clark) and another by a pass interference call after Clark was hit over the middle**.
THIRD QUARTER (6:01 remaining)
**
Like it has done so many times this season, the Colts defense came up with one of its best efforts on fourth down. After Baltimore's third-down pass from Indy's 45 fell incomplete, the Ravens elected to go for it on 4th-and-3. But Flacco's pass was once again errant, giving the Colts the ball back at their own 45.
But on the first play of the ensuing drive, Manning threw a deep pass down the right side of the field that was intercepted by Ravens safety Ed Reed. But on Reed's return, Colts wide receiver Pierre Garcon knocked the ball loose and tight end Dallas Clark recovered the fumble. Indy takes over, once again, this time from their own 27.**

HALFTIME – COLTS 17, RAVENS 3

With three seconds remaining in the half, and facing 3rd-and-goal, Manning threw a short pass over the middle to Wayne, who broke one tackle and snuck into the end zone for the touchdown.
To set up the score, Indianapolis drove 64 yards in less than 90 seconds. Rookie running back Donald Brown had two critical plays on the drive, an eight-yard pass to begin it and a 13-yard rush in the middle that picked up a crucial first down.

The Colts offense put together their first touchdown drive of the game, lasting exactly eight minutes and capped off by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Manning to Collie.
Indianapolis began the drive on their own 25 and started by completing two passes (12 and 11 yards) to wide receiver Reggie Wayne for his first two catches of the game.
The Colts continued to move the ball deeper and deeper into Baltimore territory, but came up short on 3rd down and faced a critical 4th-and-four from the Ravens' 35. In need of a first down, Manning hit running back Joseph Addai on a short pass in the flat that barely cleared the first-down maker.
From there, a catch by Garcon and a nine-yard reception by running back Mike Hart moved the ball to Baltimore's 10 before Collie caught the TD to finish the drive. COLTS 10, RAVENS 3
SECOND QUARTER (10:00 remaining)

FIRST QUARTER (2:57 remaining)

After an illegal block on the kick-off return pushed Baltimore back to their own 7, the Ravens quickly began moving the ball with success. Baltimore put together a 15-play drive and quarterback Joe Flacco completed 4-of-6 passes for 55 yards, three of which went to wide receiver Derrick Mason for 55 yards.
But once the Ravens moved the ball into Indianapolis' red zone, the Colts defense clamped down. A third-down pass from Flacco went right through safety Antoine Bethea's hands and hit the turf, forcing Baltimore to settle for a field goal. Kicker Billy Cundiff converted the 25-yard attempt to tie the game. **COLTS 3, RAVENS 3
FIRST QUARTER (10:44 remaining)**
After winning the toss and electing to receive, the Colts started the game's first drive from their own 20-yard line following a touchback.
Quarterback Peyton Manning opened the game with a 20-yard completion over the middle to rookie wide receiver Austin Collie. Two plays later, Manning found tight end Dallas Clark for a 10-yard pick-up, followed by a three-yard rush by running back Mike Hart for a first down. Wide receiver Pierre Garcon also picked up a Colts first down before the Ravens eventually stopped Indianapolis on 3rd-and-3.
From there, kicker Matt Stover converted a 44-yard field goal to put the Colts on the board first. COLTS 3, RAVENS 0
