In the playoffs, the San Diego Chargers won the coin flip for overtime against the Indianapolis Colts and went right down the field to score for the victory. "The point of the game is to win it in regulation," Goodell remarked. "This game is about teamwork -- offense, defense and specials teams. We'll look at every alternative. We think what we have |

| Charlotte, NC (MySportsbook) - The Carolina Panthers named Ron Meeks defensive coordinator on Monday less than a week after he resigned from the Indianapolis Colts. Meeks had been the Colts' defensive coordinator for the last seven seasons, and resigned following the retirement of head coach Tony Dungy. He came to Indianapolis in 2002 and immediately turned around what had been one of the league's worst defensive teams. That year the Colts jumped from 29th to eighth in total defense and moved from 31st to seve |

His crowning achievement came after the 2006 season when the Colts beat the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI. The Colts were 12-4 this season and finished second in the AFC South behind the 13-3 Tennessee Titans. However, the club went one-and-done in the postseason for the seco |

| (MySportsbook) - As a longtime football fan and admirer of the NFL, I've become pretty used to estimating how well a team will fare in the upcoming year. Making a prediction for the 2009 Indianapolis Colts couldn't be any easier -- they will return to becoming the toast of the AFC. And it doesn't matter if New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady makes a triumphant return, either. Even if head coach Tony Dungy steps down, the Colts will have plenty of steam left from their impressive 2008 run that came to a |
