The Chiefs had the perfect start to the game as Dexter McCluster returned the ball to the Chiefs' 41 from a punt, and five plays later Jamaal Charles took a handoff from Alex Smith over the right side of the line and sprinted all the way in for a 31-yard touchdown.

After a series of punts, the Colts' finally got on the scoreboard as Andrew Luck managed to engineer a drive to put his side into field-goal range against a rabid Chiefs' defense and Adam Vinatieri fired his kick between the posts from 46 yards.

Indianapolis took heart from their success as they took the lead when Luck fired a short screen pass to Donald Brown, who weaved his way through several defenders to sprint into the endzone for a 33-yard touchdown.

Just before the break Viantieri fired his side into a six-point lead with a 46-yarder, but Ryan Succop had the chance to hit back with an effort from 47 yards; however, his kick went wide of the posts.
