Well, the first two questions of the 2013 off-season have been answered: Will RG3 be ready for the beginning of the season and can Chip Kelly be effective in taking the University of Oregon offence and make it work in the NFL? And the answers are clear: No and yes. It is amazing how the best in the NFL can always be humbled at a given moment. I think back to Baltimore at Denver and Peyton Manning throwing that cross-body interception. He was humbled. Advance from that playoff game to the opening of the 44th season of Monday Night Football and maybe the most popular charismatic athlete in football, Robert Griffin III and on this night, he was humbled. Heck, the quarterback on the opposite side, Micheal Vick is someone that has definitely been humbled. Now I am sure that the Redskins and Griffin will win games and, as long as he stays healthy, the Griffin we saw of last year will emerge again this year. But he was not ready and the risk that Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan took by not playing him at all did not work out. Practice, practice and more practice and Robert Griffin will be back. But in the present, there is still one major problem. Washingtons next game is against the Packers at Green Bay and they are coming off their own loss in San francisco. In the extreme opposite, how about Chip Kelly and his fast-paced, play-after-play offence? It worked! What surprised me was the perfection of execution considering the new personnel and only four exhibition games. They ran 30 plays in the first quarter and another 23 in the second. In some games, 53 plays is an entire game. And this offence is so entertaining. Yes, you need success to make it entertaining but as someone who watches football for a living, it sure was refreshing. The other aspect of Chip Kelly is that he is very active with his quarterbacks. When Vick would come to the sidelines, he talkes directly to his quarterback with no assistants around, peering over his shoulder trying to make a contribution. There were many surprises in Week 1, including New England not dominating Buffalo with rookie starter EJ Manuel and Tampa Bay losing to first game starter Geno Smith. But of all the winners and losers, the Pittsburgh Steelers looked like they were still playing exhibition games. Congratulations to both Marc Trestman with the Chicago Bears and Chip Kelly of the Eagles. First game, first win. Well done.

"We needed a little reminder of what we are playing for here," coach Frank Vogel said. The Pacers responded with one of the most impressive comebacks of the NBA season, catching the Detroit Pistons in the fourth quarter and eventually pulling away in overtime for a 112-104 victory Saturday night. Indiana leads Miami by 3 1/2 games in the race for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Paul George had 30 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Pacers. "We knew this was going to be a long game," George said. "We knew we had a chance to come back and we just had to take small steps. We had to chip away and get this win." Josh Smith scored 23 points for the Pistons, who lost star centre Andre Drummond in the first quarter to a neck injury. Drummond was able to walk off with some assistance and was a bit sore after the game. "Just a little bit of a scare," Drummond said. "Its hard for me to make moves left and right sometimes, but it shouldnt be anything that should stop me from the next few days." Evan Turner added 20 points for the Pacers, and David West scored six of his 15 points in overtime. Detroit led 56-31 in the second quarter but couldnt hold on. The Pistons trail Atlanta by five games for the final playoff spot in the East. It was the second-biggest comeback victory in the NBA this season, according to STATS. Golden State rallied from 27 down against Toronto on Dec. 3. "Really proud of our guys," Vogel said. "I did not like the deficit we built especially in that first half, but we stayed with the game and came back with better energy." Drummond, Detroits promising second-year centre, left with 6:32 remaining in the first quarter. He appeared to be hit in the head inadvertently by the Pacers Roy Hibbert during a scramblle near the basket.dddddddddddd. "I got my hand on the ball and the ball rolled between my legs," Drummond said. "I reached down and came up and I ended up, my head hit Roy Hibbert in his thigh and sent a shock throughout my whole body." Drummond stayed down through an entire timeout. A stretcher was eventually brought onto the court, but he was able to get up and walk off toward the tunnel. Even without him, Detroit dominated the first half. A putback dunk by Jonas Jerebko pushed the lead to 25, and it was 60-41 at halftime. The Pacers started the second half with eight straight points, and George scored 14 points in the third quarter. Detroit led 79-73 after three. It was tied at 83 when Smith put Detroit back ahead with a layup. Then Detroits Greg Monroe and Indianas Luis Scola became entangled, leading to a brief skirmish and technical fouls on both players. A three-point play by Turner put Indiana ahead, but the Pacers couldnt shake the Pistons, and George missed a jumper from the left elbow that could have won the game at the end of regulation. "I thought we had a good stand at the end," Detroit interim coach John Loyer said. "They put it in their best players hands. I thought we did a pretty good job contesting the shot." It was 100-all heading into overtime. With Indiana up 104-102, West made a couple jumpers to give the Pacers a six-point lead. "In the overtime we just tried to get good quality looks," West said. "We didnt want to turn the ball over and we just wanted to make sure we got quality looks at the rim." NOTES: It was Indianas 17th victory of the season when trailing at halftime. ... Andrew Bynum scored 15 points with nine rebounds in 20 minutes for the Pacers. ... Detroit came into the game averaging an NBA-best 52.7 points in the paint. Indiana was allowing an NBA-low 35.4. Both teams ended up with 46 on Saturday.
