The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a crucial 44-38 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, with standout performances from quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Wilson threw for 414 yards and three touchdowns, while Fields clinched the win with a decisive run. Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy praised Steelers coach Mike Tomlin for his innovative use of both quarterbacks, which has kept the team at the top of the AFC North with a 9-3 record. The Steelers aim for revenge against the Cleveland Browns in their next game.
Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy expressed satisfaction after a Florida abortion amendment failed to pass, as it did not achieve the required 60% supermajority. Dungy, who opposed the amendment, praised voters for maintaining restrictions, emphasizing that exceptions for rape and incest remain. The amendment aimed to protect abortion access before viability or when necessary for the patient's health. Florida's current six-week abortion ban remains contentious, with the state being one of nine with abortion-related measures on the ballot. Dungy also noted the failure of Amendment 3, which sought to legalize marijuana.
Former NFL coach Tony Dungy criticized the NFL for featuring shots of Taylor Swift at games, suggesting it detracts from the on-field action, but fans and CBS Sports data indicate otherwise, with record-breaking viewership numbers during the postseason, including the most-watched AFC Championship Game ever, suggesting that Swift's presence has been a positive for the league.
Former NFL coach Tony Dungy believes that while undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent impressed in his first start for the Chicago Bears, Justin Fields should remain the team's starting quarterback when he is fully healthy. Dungy emphasizes the importance of allowing Fields to recover completely and not rushing him back. However, he acknowledges that if Bagent continues to perform well and lead the team to victories, it could create a difficult decision for the Bears' coaching staff. Dungy draws parallels to past situations where unheralded quarterbacks took over and excelled, causing a shift in the team's plans. For now, Fields remains the starter, but Bagent's strong performance has raised some questions about the future of the Bears' quarterback position.
