Turnovers. Turnovers. Turnovers. With 4 minutes left, Grossman hits Mushin Muhammad on a tight 4-yard pass to make the score 14-6. Talking heads in millions of homes across the country nod in unison, “Good Rex”, “Grossman’s Back”, and “Sexy Rexy”.
Thomas Jones had the big run of the drive, a bullet up the middle for 52 yards.
The Colts go three and out, and then Cedric Benson fumbles the ball right back. There’s two minutes left in the half, and we’ve already seen a kickoff return for a score, four turnovers, and an injury. Wild first quarter.
On 4th and 8, the Bears go offside—making it 4th and 3 at the Bears 35 yard line. This could be a big statement for Dungy. Go for it, you tell your quarterback it’s his game and you’re going to let him be the difference maker. Punt it, and well, you know—you’re saying something else.
