The Indianapolis Colts meet the New England Patriots in the 1st half

I switched over to this game late due to the Tampa Bay win in their overtime game against the Carolina Panthers. The first play I see is a punt return by the Patriots in for a touch down.

They kick the ball and shortly thereafter the Patriots intercept a pass by quarterback Andrew Luck, and run it back 59 yards for a second touchdown. This puts the score at New England 21 to the Colts 14.

Since I hadn’t seen the first quarter of the game and needing to judge what I am seeing on this drive by New England it appears that Andrew Luck is not letting the interception bother him and is putting together a decent drive. Unable to complete the drive with 6 points the Colts take the field goal and take the score to 17 to Patriots 21.

Patriot quarterback Tom Brady will get the ball back on the 25 with just over 5 minutes left in the first half. As the game hits the two minute warning the field goal team will take the field in an attempt to extend the Patriot lead. New England makes the field goal and the score is 24 Patriots to the Colts 17.

Indianapolis will get the ball back and has just under 2 minutes left in the first half. On a 3rd and 3 Andrew Luck completes a pass to just before mid field and the Colts call a time out with 1 minute 23 seconds left in the half.

Running out of time the Colts have no choice but to attempt a 58 yard field goal, but is unsuccessful. So the half time score is New England 24 to Indianapolis 17.
