NFL ROUNDUP | Sunday's other games

AFC
Chargers 27, Raiders 14
OAKLAND, Calif. -- LaDainian Tomlinson and San Diego are dominating Oakland in a way they haven't since Al Davis was on the Chargers' side of this rivalry. Tomlinson became the first player since 2001 to run, catch and throw for a touchdown as the Chargers shut down an Oakland offense slowed by an injury to Randy Moss, winning their fourth straight over the Raiders. His feat was only the seventh in NFL history. The Chargers hadn't won four straight in a rivalry dominated by the Raiders since taking the first six meetings from 1960-62, when Al Davis was their defensive ends coach. Tomlinson showed off his all-around skills as never before in his career, with his three first-half touchdowns, 140 yards rushing and 39 yards receiving. The Raiders (1-4) were less competitive than in their first three losses. Oakland committed penalties to extend San Diego's first two touchdown drives, Kerry Collins was just 24-for-48 for 292 yards and threw his first interception of the season, and the Raiders had only 39 yards rushing.
Broncos 28, Patriots 20
DENVER -- Jake Plummer hit on throws of 72 and 55 yards to give the Denver passing game big-play power for the first time this season in a victory over the two-time defending champions. Tatum Bell had a 68-yard run and finished with 114 yards to surpass 100 yards for the second straight week, as the Broncos won their fifth straight. New England fell behind by 25 early in the third quarter. With Tom Brady picking on the young Denver secondary, the Patriots pulled within eight and had the ball late. But Brady threw three straight incompletions and after a punt, the Denver offense ran the final 31/2 minutes off the clock. Brady went 24-for-46 for 299 yards and a touchdown in a comeback effort fitting of the two-time Super Bowl MVP. Plummer finished with 262 yards and two touchdowns, and his super performance came seemingly out of nowhere.
Bills 27, Jets 17
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Kelly Holcomb threw two touchdown passes in winning his second straight start. Willis McGahee had a career-high 143 yards rushing and a score, while receivers Eric Moulds and Jonathan Smith also scored touchdowns for Buffalo. The Bills defense had five sacks and forced three turnovers, including Terrence McGee's interception in the end zone with three minutes remaining. Holcomb finished 18-of-26 for 172 yards. He replaced J.P. Losman, who struggled in starting the first four games this season. Curtis Martin led the Jets with a season-high 148 yards rushing and became the seventh player to gain 17,000 yards from scrimmage.
NFC
Cowboys 16, Giants 13 (OT)
IRVING, Texas -- Despite four turnovers and two missed field goals, the Cowboys overcame it all with a 45-yard field goal by Jose Cortez on the opening drive of overtime. Eli Manning, who struggled all game, led the Giants on two long fourth-quarter drives. The first was killed when rookie Brandon Jacobs fumbled at the Dallas 1. But New York got the ball back and drove the Giants 52 yards to a tying TD on a 24-yard pass to Jeremy Shockey with 19 seconds left in regulation. Dallas' Drew Bledsoe and Manning came in as the top-rated passers in the NFC. But instead of a nice early season test between two NFC East rivals, the Cowboys gave the ball away on three of their first four drives.
Falcons 34, Saints 31
SAN ANTONIO -- New Orleans still can't get a break. Todd Peterson's 36-yard field goal won it for Atlanta in the final seconds. But only after a miss from 41 yards was negated by a holding penalty on Saints defensive end Tony Bryant, a play that had no effect on the miss. New Orleans, embarrassed at Green Bay 52-3 a week earlier, had tied it at 31-31 when Aaron Brooks hit Devery Henderson in the back of the end zone for a 15-yard TD with under a minute left. Then the Falcon's Michael Vick, bottled up most of the afternoon in his first game back from a sprained knee, completed four passes and ran for a first down that quickly moved the ball down the field. That eventually led to the penalty and the winning kick.
Bears 28, Vikings 3
Brian Urlacher had two sacks to lead the Bears over a Vikings team reeling after allegations of drunkenness and sexual misbehavior on a charter cruise last week. Charles Tillman and Chris Harris each had an interception, and Thomas Jones rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries as the Bears snapped a two-game losing streak. Jones, questionable after stretching a ligament in his right knee last week at Cleveland, saw his streak of 100-yard games end. Despite Jones' injury, rookie Cedric Benson remained in a limited role, with three carries for two yards. Kyle Orton completed 16 of 25 passes for 117 yards with an interception and two touchdown passes, both to tight end Desmond Clark. Minnesota's Daunte Culpepper was 26-of-48 for 237 yards and two interceptions as the Vikings fell to 1-4.
INTERCONFERENCE
Chiefs 28, Redskins 21
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Maybe age isn't catching up with Priest Holmes as quickly as everyone thought. Nine days after his 32nd birthday, Holmes ran for a touchdown and caught five passes for 100 yards, including a 60-yard catch-and-run for the go-ahead score. Santana Moss caught 10 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns for the Redskins, who lost their second in a row after a 3-0 start. Safety Sammy Knight, who had an 80-yard fumble return for a touchdown, got a fingertip on a potential game-tying pass from Mark Brunell to Santana Moss to clinch it for Kansas City.
Buccaneers 27, Dolphins 13
TAMPA, Fla. -- Ricky Williams is back, but it could be some time before Miami can boast the same about its offense. Michael Pittman ran for 127 yards and a touchdown, as Tampa Bay ruined Williams' return from a one-year retirement and four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Neither Williams or rookie Ronnie Brown had much success against Tampa Bay's defense, which limited the Dolphins (2-3) to 64 yards rushing and created plenty of problems for Gus Frerotte, too, sacking the quarterback four times and forcing him to fumble twice. Frerotte completed 21 of 43 passes for 267 yards and no interceptions. Pittman, filling in for injured rookie Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, scored on a 57-yard run in the third quarter. Brian Griese threw a 7-yard TD pass to Joey Galloway before leaving the game with a sprained left knee, and safety Will Allen scooped up one of Frerotte's two fumbles and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown that put Tampa Bay up 27-6. Matt Bryant added field goals of 36 and 32 yards to help the Bucs rebound from a 14-12 loss to the New York Jets. Ricky Williams was held to 8 yards rushing on five attempts, and his best run of the day -- 13 yards in the second quarter -- was nullified by a penalty.
