NFL ROUNDUP \ Late Saturday

Bears 31, 49ers 28

CHICAGO — Rex Grossman played the first half and passed for 211 yards and two touchdowns. Grossman led the Bears to a touchdown on the game’s opening drive, a field goal on their second possession, and touchdowns on the third and fourth series. He completed 13 of 20 passes, yet provided more fodder for his critics. On the field-goal drive, Grossman fumbled a snap after botching two exchanges with center Olin Kreutz on Monday night at Indianapolis, and Walt Harris returned an interception 52 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. San Francisco’s Alex Smith was 4-of-8 with 47 yards before giving way to Trent Dilfer in the third, after two sharp performances in the preseason.

Seahawks 30, Vikings 13

SEATTLE — Matt Hasselbeck, playing for the first time since he had a single series in the exhibition opener two weeks ago, completed 12 of 17 passes for 129 yards and threw an interception. Tarvaris Jackson, the Vikings’ second-year quarterback, overcame a lost fumble on the game’s first snap to complete 9 of 18 passes for 117 yards.

Texans 28, Cowboys 16

HOUSTON — Matt Schaub and the Houston Texans became the first team to score a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys’ starters this preseason. Schaub connected with Andre Johnson early in the second quarter and found speedy rookie Jacoby Jones just before halftime. Jones returned a punt 91 yards for a score early in the first quarter before leaping for the touchdown grab in the second quarter.

Buccaneers 31, Dolphins 28

MIAMI — Jeff Garcia played three series and had a 26-yard touchdown to Joey Galloway on his final pass. Bruce Gradkowski brought the Bucs (2-1) from behind twice in the fourth quarter and threw touchdown passes of 6 yards to Earnest Graham and 1 yard to Paris Warren. Rookie John Beck played the entire second half for the Dolphins (2-1) and threw for 162 yards and two touchdowns.

Redskins 13, Ravens 7

LANDOVER, Md. — Lightning delayed the start for more than an hour, then another storm halted the game for good with 11:38 remaining in the third quarter— just after the stadium lights dimmed while an incomplete pass from Kyle Boller to Marcus Freeman was in mid-flight. The Redskins backups scored the winning touchdown shortly before the game was halted. On the Ravens’ first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, Anthony Trucks blitzed and knocked the ball away from Boller just as the quarterback was about to pass. The ball landed in the hands of rookie linebacker Dallas Sartz, who strolled 3 yards for the touchdown.

Chargers 33, Cardinals 31

GLENDALE, Ariz. — With quarterback Philip Rivers finding receivers all over the field, the Chargers first-team offense moved the ball at will against the Cardinals first-string defense. Arizona (0-3) appeared to have it won when third-team quarterback Shane Boyd hit Matt Trannon for a 5-yard touchdown pass, giving the Cardinals a 31-30 lead with 1:05 to play. But Arizona’s reserve defense let San Diego (2-1), led by Billy Volek, drive 53 yards on seven plays to set up a 37-yard field goal by Nate Kaeding with two seconds to go.
