At the time, Norv Turner seemed an odd choice to take over a San Diego Chargers team that had struggled in the playoffs. Tony Dungy’s credentials were once questioned too, but hiring him has worked out brilliantly for the Indianapolis Colts.

“That first one’s the hardest one,” said Turner, who improved to 2-1 in the postseason. “Just like when you start a game sometimes, that first score is the hardest one to get and then you get going. Hopefully this jump-starts all of us.”
