NFL ROUNDUP | Sunday's other games

AFC
Chiefs 27, Raiders 23
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- With five seconds remaining, Kansas City trailed by three and the ball was on the Oakland 1. Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil went for the TD, and Larry Johnson dived over the pile for a memorable victory. Randy Moss, who hadn't caught a pass all day, beat Dewayne Washington in the corner of the end zone for a 7-yard reception with 1:45 remaining, giving the Raiders (3-5) the lead. Then Trent Green, playing through the pain of his father's funeral just four days earlier, whipped the Chiefs (5-3) down-field 72 yards. The Chiefs, who have beaten the Raiders six in a row, were missing their best running back (Priest Holmes), best offensive lineman (Willie Roaf) and best cornerback (Patrick Surtain), as well as two of their top backups in the secondary.
Chargers 31, Jets 26
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- LaDainian Tomlinson scored a career-high four touchdowns -- three rushing, one receiving -- and San Diego needed every one of them to hold off pesky Brooks Bollinger and New York. Heading into the game, Tomlinson had the same number of touchdown passes (three) as Jets quarterbacks. Bollinger changed all that with a furious charge. Replacing an ineffective Vinny Testaverde late in the third quarter, Bollinger threw two touchdown passes to make it a game. The scoring passes were the first through the air for the Jets since Week 2 against the Dolphins. Tomlinson had 25 carries for 107 yards for the Chargers, while Drew Brees was 20-of-27 for 270 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and Antonio Gates added eight catches for 132 yards. Bollinger was 11-of-20 for 106 yards, and Testaverde was 6-of-11 for 98 yards when he left. Curtis Martin had 21 carries for 72 yards and became the 16th player in NFL history to score 100 touchdowns, when he reached the mark with a 1-yard scoring run early in the second quarter.
Jaguars 21, Texans 14
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Byron Leftwich directed two long scoring drives in the fourth quarter to rally Jacksonville over injury-riddled Houston. Jacksonville also tied the NFL record for consecutive games played without scoring 30 or more points. The Jags matched Cleveland's mark of 58 games set between 1995 and 2002. Jacksonville trailed 7-0 at halftime and 14-7 in the fourth quarter before waking up from a first-half stupor. Leftwich directed scoring drives of 80 and 82 yards in the final quarter. Fred Taylor sprained his right ankle in the third quarter and did not return. It was the same injury that kept Taylor from playing against Pittsburgh three weeks ago. The Texans had their own injury woes. Running back Domanick Davis and kick returner Jerome Mathis missed the game. Then starting center Drew Hodgdon and backup Todd Washington were injured against the Jags and did not return.
NFC
Panthers 34, Buccaneers 14
TAMPA, Fla. -- Stephen Davis ran for two touchdowns, Steve Smith caught his ninth TD pass of the season and Chris Gamble scored on a 61-yard interception return to lead Carolina to its fifth straight victory. Carolina's defense forced four turnovers and sacked Chris Simms five times to ruin the young quarterback's second start of the season for Tampa Bay. Smith finished with five receptions for 106 yards. Simms completed 25 of 41 passes for 259 yards and two interceptions. Carnell "Cadillac" Williams was held to 29 yards on 11 carries in his second game since returning from injuries that kept him out of two games.
Bears 20, Saints 17
BATON ROUGE, La. -- Adrian Peterson and Cedric Benson combined for 137 yards on 20 carries and a touchdown in place of the injured Thomas Jones, and Robbie Gould hit the winning field goal with six seconds to go for Chicago. The crowd was announced at 32,637, dwarfed by LSU's 93,000-seat Tiger Stadium.
Seahawks 33, Cardinals 19
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Shaun Alexander gained 173 yards on 23 carries, including touchdown runs of 88 and 14 yards, and Seattle won its fourth in a row. The 88-yard run, on the first play of the second half, tied the franchise record Alexander set against Oakland on Nov. 11, 2001. Neil Rackers kicked four field goals for the Cardinals. Kurt Warner, replacing Josh McCown as starting quarterback, was 29-of-48 for 334 yards and a touchdown.
Vikings 27, Lions 14
MINNEAPOLIS -- Brad Johnson passed for 136 yards and two touchdowns in relief of the injured Daunte Culpepper and Michael Bennett rushed 18 times for 106 yards. Bennett and Nate Burleson caught second-quarter scores from Johnson, sandwiched around rookie Ciatrick Fason's first career TD on a 3-yard run. The Vikings' 21 points on seven offensive plays in a span of less than four minutes were courtesy of a fumble and an interception by Joey Harrington deep in Detroit's territory.
INTERCONFERENCE
Falcons 17, Dolphins 10
MIAMI -- Michael Vick led four drives of more than 70 yards and Keion Carpenter's interception stopped a scoring threat with less than three minutes left to help Atlanta to its third win a row. Vick went 22-for-31 for a season-high 228 yards and added 38 yards on eight rushes. Miami had a chance at overtime until Carpenter made a diving interception of a third-down pass by Gus Frerotte after the Dolphins had reached the Falcons 8. Ronnie Brown rushed for 67 yards for Miami, and Ricky Williams added 52 and a touchdown.
