 TOKYO (AP) - Michael Vick and Peyton Manning gave the Japanese fans what they wanted in the American Bowl, playing into the second quarter and showing why they are two of the NFL's best quarterbacks. Vick displayed some of his trademark scrambling in the preseason opener Saturday, gaining 10 yards on his only run in the Atlanta Falcons' 27-21 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
He was 4-for-7 for 51 yards before a Tokyo Dome crowd of 45,203. The American Bowl is not the novelty it once was, with Japan having hosted the game 13 times.
"I wanted to give the fans something to cheer about," said Vick, who left after the first play of the second quarter. "Just wanted to get the jitters out, and I didn't want to shortchange the fans or myself."
