ROUNDUP | Sunday's other games



NFC
Cardinals 34, Saints 10
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Emmitt Smith earned another NFL record with his 77th 100-yard rushing game -- and threw the first pass of his 15-year pro career. It went for a touchdown. The NFL's career rushing leader had his best game since leaving Dallas two years ago, gaining 127 yards in 21 carries to help Arizona give Dennis Green his first victory as Cardinals coach. Smith, six months past his 35th birthday, had his 77th 100-yard rushing game to tie Walter Payton's record for most in an NFL career. It was his first 100-yard game since Thanksgiving 2002, when he did it for Dallas against Washington. He is the first NFL player to gain more than 100 yards past the age of 35 since Marcus Allen for Kansas City against Cleveland on Dec. 3, 1995. Smith passed the 100 mark Sunday with a 29-yard touchdown burst up the middle to seal the victory with 5:02 to play. But it was his wobbly 21-yard touchdown pass to fullback Obafemi Ayanbadejo late in the first half he probably will remember most. The Cardinals (1-3) rushed for 211 yards, all but 2 in the final three quarters.
Giants 14, Packers 7
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Tiki Barber ran for a 52-yard touchdown and 182 yards in all, Kurt Warner threw a touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey, and Packers quarterback Brett Favre was knocked from the game with a head injury.
Eagles 19, Bears 9
CHICAGO -- David Akers kicked four field goals, and Donovan McNabb threw for 222 yards and a touchdown. Terrell Owens caught eight passes for 110 yards and a touchdown, which he celebrated with sit-ups in the end zone. Brian Westbrook ran for 115 yards and caught nine passes for 63 yards. McNabb was 24-of-38 for 237 yards, but he was intercepted in the third quarter, snapping a streak dating back to last season of 161 consecutive passes without a pick.
Falcons 27, Panthers 10
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Warrick Dunn had a 38-yard touchdown run and Kevin Mathis returned an interception 35 yards for another score. The Panthers (1-2) held Michael Vick to 148 yards passing and 35 yards rushing.
AFC
Patriots 31, Bills 17
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Tom Brady and defensive end Richard Seymour combined to secure the Patriots' record-tying 18th straight victory. Brady put the Patriots ahead for good with a 2-yard scoring pass to tight end Daniel Graham four minutes into the fourth quarter. With New England ahead 24-17, the victory was clinched when Seymour picked up quarterback Drew Bledsoe's fumble and ran it 68 yards for a touchdown with 2:44 remaining.
Jets 17, Dolphins 9
MIAMI -- The Jets came up with four turnovers by quarterback Jay Fiedler in the second half, including an interception returned 66 yards for a touchdown by Donnie Abraham. The Dolphins fell to 0-4 for the first time since their expansion season in 1966. They've scored two touchdowns this year while committing 14 turnovers. New York's Curtis Martin topped 100 yards rushing for the third game in a row and the 50th time in his career, moving into 10th place on the NFL's all-time rushing list. He has 12,094 career yards, passing Thurman Thomas, who had 12,074.
Colts 24, Jaguars 17
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Peyton Manning was 13-for-13 for 162 yards on three touchdown drives. After Edgerrin James' 3-yard touchdown run gave the Colts a 24-17 lead, Jacksonville drove into Indy territory with less than two minutes to play. But Fred Taylor came up short on fourth-and-1, and the Colts (3-1) ran out the clock.
Texans 30, Raiders 17
HOUSTON -- After 36 games, the Texans have their first winning streak. Houston made it possible by harassing Raiders (2-2) new starting quarterback Kerry Collins into five turnovers, including each of his last four drives. Houston (2-2) turned the first three of Collins' mistakes into 13 points: two field goals by Kris Brown, with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Carr to Andre Johnson in between.
Chargers 38, Titans 17
SAN DIEGO -- Drew Brees, who's had a tenuous grip on his job since last season, threw for three touchdowns, including a 58-yarder to Reche Caldwell midway through the fourth quarter. LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for 147 yards and one touchdown for the Chargers. The Titans played without quarterback Steve McNair, who was reduced to being the emergency third quarterback after bruising his sternum in a loss to Jacksonville last week. Billy Volek threw for 278 yards and two TDs, but it wasn't enough to keep the Titans from losing their third straight.
INTERCONFERENCE
Broncos 16, Bucs 13
TAMPA, Fla. -- Jake Plummer threw a 5-yard TD pass to Patrick Hape and Jason Elam kicked three field goals for the Broncos. Plummer completed 13 of 31 passes for 138 yards, saving his best for the fourth quarter when he took advantage of a 37-yard pass interference penalty to set up Elam's 24-yard field goal that snapped a 13-13 tie with 9:03 to go.
