Those sputtering machines in New Orleans and Indianapolis had better fire up soon.

Like now.

It’s somewhat stunning that the Saints and Colts, favorites to win their divisions, are 0-2.

At least Indy fell to a pair of top teams, Denver and Philadelphia. The Saints lost at Atlanta, blowing a big lead, and then at Cleveland – both on late field goals.

With Carolina already 2-0 in the NFC South and Houston at 2-0 in the AFC South, well, gentlemen, start your engines.
