Preseason Kicks Off!

The 2003 NFL preseason was kicked off Saturday by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets in Tokyo, Japan in the American Bowl. The Bucs got a strong performance from rookie quarterback Chris Simms, and won the game 30-14. The highlight for Japanese fans came in the final minutes of the game when New York quarterback Brooks Bollinger completed a 44-yard pass to Yoshinobu Imoto, one of two Japanese players that saw action.
