Week One

What was more eagerly awaited, the debut of Reggie Bush or the Manning Bowl?

Eli: 247 2 TDs 1 INT, 1 Fumble Lost

Peyton: 276 1 TD, 1 INT, 1 Sack



Bush finished with 141 total yards; 61 yards rushing on 14 attempts, caught eight passes for 58 yards and returned three punts for 22.

Baltimore (1-0) won on the road for the first time since beating the New York Jets 20-17 in overtime on Nov. 14, 2004, ending an 11-game skid that was the longest in the NFL. The Bucs (0-1) were shut out at home for the first time since 1996 after going 77 games without being blanked.

In the nine early games Sunday afternoon, the road team won a staggering seven times, with New England nipping Buffalo by the margin of a safety to narrowly avoid becoming the eighth home team to begin the season 0-1.
