Tony Dungy seemed to be in pain during NBC's pregame show Sunday night when he pleaded: “Play some fundamental defense, please.”
Sorry Tony, not this season. At least not yet.
Oh, the Rams and Giants didn't make the scoreboard explode in the 17-9 Los Angeles victory. Indianapolis, the franchise Dungy led to a Super Bowl title, and Chicago did their parts as the Colts won 19-11. That's two out of 11 afternoon games, and with both the Giants and Bears, it was ineptitude on offense more than stingy defense that kept the numbers sane.
Otherwise, it was a points free for all — again.
