When not sending passes that freed his wingers to hurl themselves at the Czech goal, he was busy retrieving loose balls for restarts, rushing over with a replacement for a linesman's broken flag, and then, when goalie Volkan Demirel foolishly got dismissed for shoving Jan Koller, Tuncay manned the goal, since the subs had all been used.

As he puts it, "I'm back in the game," this time on the side of the rules. IV Kansas City Chiefs 23 Minnesota Vikings...
