An unprecedented panoramic view of the NFL season, from the first kickoff to the final whistle; the fifty-yard line to the upper deck; and the training room to the board room.
Episode Nine:
London calling
-
Since 2007, it has been a fall tradition: Two NFL teams travel to London to represent the league in an international regular season game. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are no strangers to this transatlantic affair; in 2009, they made the trip to the U.K., and just a few weeks ago, they made a repeat trip across the pond.
-
In fact, last week's return was a symbolic one for the Bucs. It was in London two years ago that then-rookie head coach Raheem Morris put then-rookie QB Josh Freeman in a game for the first time. It came in a blowout loss to the Patriots, but still marked the auspicious beginning of a new era for the Bucs.
-
Freeman has been the starter ever since, and with Morris behind him, the duo has Tampa Bay running better. The NFL Season: A Biography presented by SAP continues with an all-access look inside the Bucs' weeklong voyage to London, and their battle with the Chicago Bears at Wembley Stadium.
Part One:
