From NFL PrimeTime; ESPN's Chris Berman and Tom Jackson take a look at the highlights of the first Sunday of the 2003 NFL season prior to the Sunday night game (a rematch of the 2002 AFC Championship Game pitting the Tennessee Titans and Oakland Raiders)
SCORES (Sunday games)
Bills 31, Patriots 0 (game remembered for Bills safety Lawyer Milloy - part of the last group of preseason cuts with New England - taking on his old team and getting a sack while forcing 4 Tom Brady interceptions {2 by linebacker Takeo Spikes and defensive tackle Sam Adams returning one for a 37-yard touchdown)
Panthers 24, Jaguars 23 (Jack Del Rio's debut as Jacksonville head coach is spoiled by Panther quarterback Jake Delhomme {replacing injured Rodney Peete} throwing a 12-yard TD to Ricky Proehl with 16 seconds left)
Broncos 30, Bengals 10 (Marvin Lewis' debut as Bengals head coach)
Colts 9, Browns 6 (Mike Vanderjagt hits the game-winning 45 yard field goal with 1 second left)
Falcons 27, Cowboys 13 (the new-look Atlanta Falcons - minus an injured Michael Vick - spoil Bill Parcells' debut with the Cowboys)
Lions 42, Cardinals 24 (Anquan Boldin's impressive rookie debut {catching 10 passes for 2 scores and a rookie-record 217 yards} not enough to beat the Lions in Steve Mariucci's debut with the Lions)
Vikings 30, Packers 25 (Brett Favre throws 4 interceptions; Randy Moss catches 9 passes for 150 yards and a score)
Chiefs 27, Chargers 14 (Priest Holmes runs for 2 touchdowns and contributes 180 yards of total offense)
Texans 21, Dolphins 20 (Kris Brown makes game-winning field goal with 25 seconds left)
Giants 23, Rams 13 (in what turned out to be Kurt Warner's last game with the Rams, he gets sacked 6 times, lost a fumble that Kenny Holmes recovered in the end zone and ended up spending the night in the hospital with a concussion)
Steelers 34, Ravens 15 (Steelers led 27-0 late in 3rd quarter before Jamal Lewis ran for the Ravens' first touchdown)
Seahawks 27, Saints 10 (Seattle scores 21 unanswered points after opening Saints field goal)
49ers 49, Bears 7 (Dennis Erickson's debut with the Niners looks like he picked up where Steve Mariucci left off...though looks turned out to be deceiving)
