We were worried that it would be a complete blow out, and after the Pats intercepted the Bucs in the first few minutes of the game for a touchdown, expected the worst. But it actually ended up being pretty entertaining. Not sure if New England wasn't trying its hardest or if the Bucs thrived off the London atmosphere, but we saw some great plays, a good amount of scoring, and lots of excitement. The opening of the game was really cool too... fireworks, music, American and British flags, both national anthems, and shooting flames when the Bucs ran out. Becuase the Bucs were the home team, they also put flags under everyone's seats which got waved frequently.

The crowd - lots of Brits and Americans, and NFL jerseys from almost every team imaginable
Inside the stadium - it's partly covered with a roof that can be closed if necessary

One beer, one water...
Baby's first NFL game!

I didn't even realize that a game was being played over there last week. I guess they had it just for your birthday. Sounds like lots of fun. Thanks for the pictures.
