Atlanta backup quarterback Matt Schaub completed 11 of 13 passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Atlanta Falcons to a 27-21 comeback victory over the Indianapolis Colts Saturday night in the NFL Tokyo 2005.
The two Super Bowl contenders kicked off the NFL preseason game in front of 45,203 fans at Tokyo Dome. The first preseason game for both teams was a wild affair, with eight turnovers combined, which excited the Japanese football fans present.
The Colts got on the scoreboard first. Free safety Bob Sander intercepted a pass off Michael Vick, which was tipped off by receiver Brian Finneran, to give the Colts the first possession of the game.
