jackson of minnesota. >> cris: matt leinart is you want me to take a knee? and show you what happens if you what is that? >> cris: take a knee? he is going shotgun. maybe they will let him throw one. >> al: he told us the other day. leinart really is coming along and has matured. baugh it's warner's team right now.

he gets to throw to fitzgerald they are lucky that favre pulled off what he did today. already having beaten them in the division. singletary has done a job transforming that franchise, >> al: tremendous. indianapolis colts go to 3-0 thought three weeks into the season the colts in the afc those are the facts, ma'am. wendy's postgame report is .

with online cash manager, you can do it all. suntrust. live solid. bank solid.

with online cash manager, you can be where the action is.

suntrust. live solid. bank solid. >> al: welcome to the wendy's postgame report. here now, bob costas. >> impressive job by the indianapolis colts on a tough back-to-back on the road. they go to miami for a monday night affair and come back to indianapolis to regroup and on the road again and long trip to arizona sunday night affair and win both and take their record 3-0. meanwhile, andrea kremer on the field with, who else? peyton manning. andrea? >> andrea: thank you, bob. 501 yards of total offense tonight. you look surprised at that. what were you able to exploit in their defense spaem with rodgers-cromartie badly beaten

on a couple of touchdowns? >> important to stay patient. you want to come out and take the crowd out of it on the road. our defense was doing that but we had three three and outs in a row and stayed patient and wanted to be aggressive and go three wide and spread them out and take our shots passing down the field. didn't hit them early but when it counted as the game went on. >> you said in friday's practice you call it a dog and pony show and draw plays up in the dirt. wretchy wayne's -- reggie wayne's one-handed catch you can't draw that up. >> he is capable of making those plays. when i threw it i thought i may have led him too much and he did a great job. the catch, in itself, was outstanding. the fact that he got in bounds. a lot of people catch that ball and go out of bounds and you say what a great catch but the fact he got his feet in and those are the plays we expect him to make that play got us going. >> andrea: you told me we're ill trying to find our identity in the run game and 122 yards on the ground tonight.

what does that do for that? >> i thought was important and reason we hit the plays down the field i think because donald and joe were popping some runs and line was getting some push so it makes the defense play us more honestly and we're three dimensional drop action and play and run on second down. >> you are now third in nfl history with your 18th game with four or more touchdown passes. bob, back to you. >> let's shift it over to new york. tony dungy is standing by with rodney harrison. your assessment of your old quarterback and your old team tonight, tony? >> bob, i thought they played very well and peyton was absolutely correct. with patience. he didn't get off to a good start. but they just stayed in there and hammered away and played great. i thought the key to the game was the two arizona turnovers in the first half. that took points off the board and you can't fall behind this indianapolis team. that plays right into their hands. >> i'm looking at the cardinals

and i see why did they draft beanie wells in the first round? they needed to come out and establish the run. you can't depend on kurt warner to come out and pass the ball over 50 times. mooends it's terrible. you cannot do that. >> indianapolis is not the type of team that you want to play one-dimensionally and you don't want to get into a throwing rain. mathis and freeney teed off in the second half and didn't give kurt warner any time and led to the score the way it turned out to be. indianapolis plays very well in september. they are hot and right where they should be. >> they looked good. >> they did look good. back to you, bob. >> all right. tony and rodney, thanks for staying up late with us on the east coast but not out here. before we turn things back to al and cris for their final thoughts, here is injury updates courtesy of our peter king. ladainian tomlinson did not play today for the chargers in their win over miami and listed as questionable for the sunday night game on nbc next week at pittsburgh.

shawne merriman who played today is probable with his injured groin. for san francisco, frank gore at the moment listed as doubtful with ligament strain in his ankle and not the more serious high ankle sprain as has been reported. is a ligament strain in his ankle. quarterback injuries. chad pennington of the dolve fins injured throwing shoulder in their loss to san diego today. chad henne likely to start for them next week, the kid out of michigan. pennington will have mri tomorrow and marc bulger today of the rams who was injured today against green bay and kyle boller is nis hill his fill-in. al and cris to wrap it up next. .

>> al: we left nothing on the bone in this one. let's talk about next week. all of a sudden you have a matchup. san diego comes in 2-1 but denver 3-0. shockingly.

now their schedule starts to get tough in the afc west. but in the afc north, you have baltimore now at 3-0. you have cincinnati at 2-1 and the world champions find themselves at 1-2 and, all of a sudden, this becomes a pretty huge game for the steelers next monday -- sunday. sorry about that! first time in four years i messed that up! >> cris: that's not bad. early for san diego and they've had such trouble with pittsburgh over the years in the playoffs and been knocking them out. so why not take care of business yourself? you know? because now you go in there and if you can knock them off there, maybe next time around you get them back in pittsburgh. so, you know, you have to jump on opportunities here and for san diego, this is a great opportunity. pittsburgh is a little down. make them pay for it. >> al: the other thing i think about, they don't meet all that much but that san diego/pittsburgh rivalry as it is. through the last few years they have played very memorable

games. >> and for the pittsburgh steelers now, ben roethlisberger and the offense is going to have to start getting it going. so long now they have been able to rely on the defense but offensively, united kingdom make mistakes and can't have the big turnovers they had today and they have to start making plays on the offensive side. >> al: sunday night! it is sunday night! see you sunday night from steel town. final score here in the desert now is indianapolis 31 and arizona 10. "football night in america" next sunday night and until then, al michaels and cris collinsworth and andrea kremer and our entire crew saying good night from glendale, arizona. the colts go to 3-0. . -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com

depressed. >> something's got to give. d.c. is in a state of disbelief tonight over the redskins loss to the losingest team in the nfl. good sunday. i'm craig melvin. today's loss in detroit didn't just shock hard-core football followers or redskins nation. casual football fans are scratching their heads tonight, too. is it the quarterback? is it the ownership? is it jim zorn? does the head coach become an unemployment statistic this week? all of these questions will be asked this week. we'll start with the last question. does jim zorn lose his job? >> not right now. according to a team source, they said the organization is not expected to make any moves according to a team source. they are not making any moves with jim zorn yet. the fans aren't the only ones questioning the redskins. the hall of fame running back mcrig gins is bringing in the heat. he twittered the

following -- there are team issues for sure and individual issuers for sure but the ultimate owner is a loser and you can't fix that. the redskins are 1-2 after losing to a team that had been 0-19. lions quarterback matthew stafford throws like a old timer. carlos rogers gets beat on the play and stafford led the play and they are up. skins down 19-14. last chance on the 36 yard line and the pass is completed to santanna moss and then, this rarely works. they need a touchdown and they don't get it. lyons beat the redskins, 19-14, the first win for detroit since 2007. >> it's just disappointing. you know? we have to win the one-on-one battle at times. and we're given the offense a

chance to convert those one-on-one situations and teams have done a good job against that. we have to find an answer and we'll just keep working at that to try to find that answer. >> and coming up later in sports. we'll have more answers from the players and their reaction to losing to the colts. the redskins faithful say they couldn't stomach the loss and they were also wondering if jim zorn's job might be in jeopardy. darcy has that story. >> what were your feeling by the end of the game in. >> depressed. that one hurt. >> reporter: at the sideline bar and grill in landover, fans still in shock overhe redskins loss to the detroit lyons, the worst team in the nfl. >> i'm like speechless. you know? you come out and you do all of this work and you lose to the

worse team in the league in two years. >> i thought that we would beat detroit. detroit hadn't one since december of 2007. and they got their first win off of us. heart-breaking. >> reporter: fans are at a loss and can't figure out how or why the skins couldn't pull together a win against the lyons who haven't won a game since 2007. >> they don't got no heart. they got to knock somebody on their butt. that's pretty much the only problem. >> reporter: now some fans are turning on the coach, jim zorn. he's just in his second season but some are wondering if he has the passion. >> i think i wanted to see jim zorn have more of a sense of urgency. something's got to give here. we're losing against the lions, that's really embarrassing. >> reporter: others say they think zorn is safe for now but admit fans don't have a lot of tolerance for a losing team. and often it's the coach who takes the fall. >> if they lose next week, i will consider letting him go. >> it's unfortunate. you know? i can't lie.
