NEW YORK — For one of those rare times, the focus at NFL stadiums was on what happened before the games. After those extraordinary demonstrations of unity by players, coaches, staff and owners, the action Sunday could have been anticlimactic.

But for true excitement, the nail-biters at Ford Field, Soldier Field, the Linc, Gillette Stadium and Lambeau couldn’t be beat. But Chicago, which showed plenty of resilience in an opening loss to Atlanta in which Howard dropped a potential winning TD pass, turned it up in OT.
