NFL ROUNDUP | Sunday's other games



Eagles 30, Lions 13
DETROIT -- Donovan McNabb threw for 356 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to a 30-13 win over the Detroit Lions in the lone game between unbeatens Sunday. Terrell Owens caught six passes for 107 yards and a TD for the Eagles, 3-0 for the first time since they won their first four in 1993. Rookie receiver Roy Williams had nine receptions for 135 yards and two TDs -- for the second straight week -- for the Lions, who had a chance to go 3-0 for the first time since 1980.
Colts 45, Packers 31
INDIANAPOLIS -- Peyton Manning threw for 393 yards and five first-half touchdowns and Indianapolis beat Green Bay in a wild, high-scoring game. Brett Favre threw for 358 yards and four TDs and the Packers rallied from an 18-point halftime deficit to within a touchdown. The wild start saw five touchdown passes in the first 11 minutes, three by Manning and two by Favre. Indianapolis (2-1) did not have a running play in the first quarter as Manning and Favre aired it out.
Texans 24, Chiefs 21
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kris Brown kicked a 49-yard field goal with 2 seconds left to give Houston a victory over Kansas City, keeping the defending AFC West-champion Chiefs winless. The Chiefs are the fourth team since 1990 to start 0-3 after making the playoffs the previous season. Priest Holmes played despite a sprained ankle, running for 134 yards and becoming the Chiefs' leading career rusher. Holmes broke Christian Okoye's record of 4,897 yards. Trent Green threw three touchdown passes for Kansas City, which is off to its first 0-3 start since 1981, when it opened 0-4. Last year's team went 13-3 in the regular season.
Raiders 30, Buccaneers 20
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Kerry Collins, the amiable backup quarterback who has repeatedly promised to be ready when needed, replaced injured starter Rich Gannon (back) and calmly directed the Raiders to an emotional victory. Collins entered late in the first quarter and led four scoring drives, completing 16 of 27 passes for 228 yards and one touchdown. Oakland spoiled the return of former coach Jon Gruden, longtime Raiders receiver Tim Brown and running back Charlie Garner. After Jerry Rice's record receptions streak was snapped last week, Brown owns the longest active run of consecutive, and he extended it to 176 games on a 7-yard reception with 14:28 left. Brown's 16-yard TD reception with 10:45 left was his 100th career touchdown catch -- and the Bucs' first offensive TD of the season. Brown passed Don Hutson for fourth in career touchdown catches.
Jaguars 15, Titans 12
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Fred Taylor ran for a 1-yard touchdown with 9 seconds left, and Jacksonville beat Tennessee for its first victory ever at The Coliseum. Jacksonville is 3-0 despite scoring just 35 points this season. Of course, the Jaguars have allowed only 28. The Jaguars sacked Steve McNair three times and knocked him out in the fourth quarter with a bruised sternum. The Titans (1-2) lost their second straight. Byron Leftwich also threw for a touchdown as the Jaguars won their first three games for the first time since 1998.
Saints 28, Rams 25, OT
ST. LOUIS -- Fill-in running back Aaron Stecker had his first career 100-yard day for New Orleans, Aaron Brooks calmly directed the winning drive and John Carney kicked five field goals in a victory that ended St. Louis' 15-game regular-season winning streak at home. New Orleans (2-1) somehow forced overtime after the Rams (1-2) took a 25-22 lead on Marc Bulger's 19-yard scramble with 28 seconds to go. Then they stuffed the Rams in overtime and drove deep into St. Louis territory to set up Carney's clinching 31-yarder with 7:59 left. The Rams, who won the NFC West last year, are 1-2 for the second straight season and have yet to force a turnover.
Vikings 27, Bears 22
MINNEAPOLIS -- Daunte Culpepper threw two touchdown passes to Randy Moss and ran for another score, helping Minnesota hold off Chicago. Onterrio Smith had 94 yards rushing and 104 yards receiving for Minnesota (2-1). Chicago (1-2) came within five points when quarterback Rex Grossman scored on a 6-yard scramble at the 2-minute warning, but he hurt his right leg and had to leave on a cart. Chicago got the ball back and backup QB Jonathan Quinn was sacked by Kevin Williams on fourth down.
Falcons 6, Cardinals 3
ATLANTA -- Atlanta improved to 3-0 for the first time since 1986 by forcing Arizona quarterback Josh McCown into three fumbles and getting a pair of field goals by Jay Feely, beating the Cardinals in a downright ugly game. There were nine fumbles (seven resulting in turnovers), five calls that had to be reviewed by the referee (two were overturned) and not one touchdown despite countless opportunities by both teams. The Cardinals (0-3) lost three fumbles inside the Falcons' 20. The Falcons are 3-0 for only the third time in their 39-year history.
Broncos 23, Chargers 13
DENVER -- Ashley Lelie caught a momentum-shifting touchdown on a fourth-down play in the third quarter and Denver beat San Diego. Lelie's 33-yard touchdown gave the Broncos (2-1) a 10-point lead late in the third quarter. Just as importantly, it stifled the momentum San Diego (1-2) gained moments earlier when the Chargers recovered Quentin Griffin's third lost fumble of the season and converted it into a touchdown to cut Denver's lead to 13-10.
