NFL story lines we’d like to see in Week 2:
The Bears defense stuff another tough opponent on the road » Nobody can stand Mike Ditka on the NFL Countdown commercial, but another solid showing by the Chicago front seven (the Colts were limited to 53 yards on the ground) will help divert attention from the inevitability of the Cubs failing to win the World Series.
San Diego win its third straight on the road at Denver » The last time the Chargers won twice in a road in Colorado was 30 years ago. Classic Norv Turner collapses are always a risk — case in point vs. Carolina — but LaDainian Tomlinson and crew were behind only the Broncos in total offense last week, with 316 yards second to Denver’s 441. How about an old-fashioned AFC West shootout?
Dallas wide receiver Terrell Owens remind us why we liked him so much on Hard Knocks » Guess we already know that’s not happening. “I honestly can say that Donovan [McNabb] made me a better receiver in Philly,” T.O. said on Thursday. “But I think it would be hard for him to admit that I made him a better quarterback.” iLove Me Some Me, indeed.
