So here we are, a week removed from the Super Bowl. We're a few weeks away from free agency, and months away from the draft. The Pro Bowl was moved, so we don't have that to calm our nerves in the transition to the offseason. Thankfully, the sports world has made sure to pack this first football-free weekend with other diversions.

Super Bowl XLIV Wrap-up
So depending on which analyst you listen to, either the underdog or the better team won. I picked the New Orleans Saints all along. And now a quarter-by-quarter look at the game:
First Quarter:
From the start, this looked like a win for the Indianapolis Colts. Each team had two possessions in the first quarter, and were opposites in what they did with the ball. The Colts drove almost at will, scoring both times. Their second possession was a 96 yard drive for a TD. Meanwhile, the Saints couldn't get moving. Their first possession, off the opening kickoff, ended in a 3-and-out punt. Their second got them a first down, but failed when Marques Colston dropped a wide open pass on 3rd-and-7. Things weren't looking good after the first.
Score after 1: Colts 10 - Saints 0
