If grades would have been handed out after the first half of the game, the Indianapolis Colts would have received straight F's across the entire board.

"In the second half, Michigan State comes out and wins that game," John Madden told the KCBS Radio morning crew.
Drew Brees can be patient behind a steady offensive line. The Eagles struggled to bring a pass rush on Kyle Orton many times on Sunday night, so look for the defensive line to try and correct that this week against New Orleans. Easier said than done of course.
