Former Indianapolis Colts' head coach Tony Dungy is claiming Peyton Manning's neck woes began after he was viciously sacked by the Redskins in a 2006 game. The Redskins' defense was run back then by Gregg Williams, who is at the vortex of the NFL's investigation into violating the league's policy against bounties: rewarding players for injuring - or intending to injure - opposing players.
The Giants played Williams' Saints in Week 12 this season. Some are suggesting that the Giants may have been "bountied" in that game as several players were injured after getting hit excessively and illegally...
