A pair of Tennessee Titans greats did battle on Saturday afternoon, as Jeff Fisher and the American Team squared off against Eddie George and the National Team in the 2023 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl on Saturday.
Fisher led his squad to a 19-17 victory over George’s on a last-second, 24-yard field goal from Bijan Nichols, marking just the second time in 11 Collegiate Bowl contests that the American Team has won.
The MVP of the game was East Carolina quarterback Holton Ahlers, who completed 9-of-12 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown. You can check out a full recap of the game right here.
Fisher and George weren’t the only former Titans helping out with the game, as former linebacker Keith Bulluck coached the position on George’s staff.
This was the first time George and Fisher were on opposite sidelines since 2004, when George was with the Cowboys and facing the Titans in a preseason contest.
Fisher is set to return to the USFL’s Michigan Panthers for his second season, while George will be entering his third season at Tennessee State.
