NFL ROUNDUP \ Sunday’s other games

AFC

Colts 22, Titans 20

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Peyton Manning threw for 312 yards and a touchdown, and Indianapolis stopped Vince Young on a final-drive comeback. Adam Vinatieri had one of his worst days in years despite making field goals of 22, 39 and 20 yards. He had an extra point blocked and a field goal partially blocked that bounced off the crossbar before going over. He also missed a 36-yarder. Young was 17-of-27 for 184 yards and a touchdown, but couldn’t lead the Titans to 2-0 for the first time since 1999.

Broncos 23, Raiders 20, OT

DENVER — Jason Elam’s 23-yard field goal with 5:48 left in overtime gave the Broncos a win just minutes after the Raiders had been celebrating what they thought was their own wild win. Sebastian Janikowski nailed a 52-yard field goal at 11:13 of overtime. But as the Raiders rushed the field in celebration and the Broncos (2-0) hung their heads in defeat, the officials ruled Denver called a timeout just before the snap. On the retry, Janikowski’s kick hit the left upright, giving the Broncos new life and the ball at their 42.

Ravens 20, Jets 13

BALTIMORE — Kyle Boller threw for 185 yards and two touchdowns, and Baltimore overcame a late charge by New York’s Kellen Clemens. Making his first NFL start, Clemens cut a 20-3 deficit to seven points in the fourth quarter and took the Jets (0-2) to the Baltimore 7 before Ray Lewis intercepted a deflected pass in the end zone with 1:04 left to preserve the win.

NFC

Packers 35, Giants 13

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Brett Favre picked a near-perfect way to become the winningest quarterback in NFL history. Favre completed his first 14 passes of the second half and threw three touchdown passes to rally Green Bay over Eli Manning and the Giants. The victory was the 149th of Favre’s 17-year career, giving him one more win than Hall of Famer John Elway. It also gave the Packers their first 2-0 start since they won their first three in 2001. The loss was the second straight for the undisciplined and error-prone Giants, something that hasn’t happened at the start of a season since 1996. Favre was 29-of-38 for 286 yards, including 18-of-21 for 147 yards in the second half. Rookie DeShawn Wynn added touchdown runs of 6 and 38 yards. Manning, whose playing status was uncertain all week because of a sprained shoulder, was 16-of-29 for 211 yards and a touchdown.

Buccaneers 31, Saints 14

TAMPA, Fla. — Joey Galloway caught four passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns, tormenting the Saints for the sixth straight game between the NFC South rivals. The Saints (0-2) were embarrassed for the second consecutive week and have been outscored 72-24 after having one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses and reaching the NFC championship game last season. Jeff Garcia completed 10 of 16 passes for 243 yards and no interceptions for the Bucs (1-1).

Arizona 23, Seattle 20

GLENDALE, Ariz. — After blowing a 17-0 lead in what looked like another classic Arizona collapse, Darnell Dockett recovered a fumble by Seattle’s Matt Hasselbeck. Then, Neil Rackers kicked a 41-yard field goal with 1 second to go, giving the Cardinals the victory. Rackers’ 52-yarder tied it at 20 with 4:44 to play. The Seahawks (1-1) took the subsequent kickoff and drove toward what could have been the winning score. On first-and-5 from the Arizona 36, linebacker Gerald Hayes disrupted an already botched handoff from Hasselbeck to Shaun Alexander. The ball popped free, and Dockett recovered at the Seattle 45 with 1:48 to go. Edgerrin James, who rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown in 23 carries, carried four times before Arizona (1-1) called timeout to take the winning kick.

Lions 20, Vikings 17, OT

DETROIT — Jason Hanson’s 37-yard field goal in overtime lifted Detroit over Minnesota and ended a 10-game losing streak in the series. The Lions and Vikings combined for nine turnovers in regulation — and two missed field goal attempts in the final 35 seconds. The 10th turnover — Brooks Bollinger’s fumbled snap — gave Detroit the ball at the 50. Jon Kitna, who missed about two quarters after being shaken up, ran the ball twice to pick up a key first down, and Brian Calhoun’s 17-yard run set up Hanson’s kick. Detroit (2-0) has won its opening two games for the first time in three years.

INTERCONFERENCE

Texans 34, Panthers 21

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — With Matt Schaub throwing for 227 yards and two touchdowns and backed up by an effective running game, Houston forced three turnovers and recovered from a sluggish start to go 2-0 for the first time in franchise history. Andre Johnson caught seven passes for 120 yards and two scores, Ahman Green rushed for 71 yards and a TD and the Texans rallied from a 14-0 deficit. They handed the Panthers (1-1) their fourth consecutive loss in their home opener. The Panthers’ Steve Smith, who caught eight passes for 153 yards and three TDs, had little help. Jake Delhomme threw for 307 yards, but had an interception and DeShaun Foster lost a fumble.

Jaguars 13, Falcons 7

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jaguars sacked Joey Harrington seven times and held Atlanta under 100 yards rushing. Atlanta’s biggest problem came on special teams, where rookie Matt Prater missed two field goals. His second miss Sunday would have given the Falcons (0-2) a 10-3 advantage. Instead, David Garrard drove Jacksonville (1-1) on consecutive scoring drives to put the team ahead for good. Garrard was 17-of-25 for 272 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Williams. Harrington finished 12-of-20 for 200 yards.

Bears 20, Chiefs 10

CHICAGO — Devin Hester scored on a 73-yard punt in the second quarter and set up a field goal in the third with another long return. Cedric Benson carried 24 times for 101 yards, eight shy of his career high for the Bears (1-1). Rex Grossman was 20-for-34 with 160 yards and a touchdown, but was picked off twice.

Cowboys 37, Dolphins 20

MIAMI — After winning a shootout in the season opener, Dallas took advantage of five takeaways and a ball-control offense to beat Miami. The Cowboys intercepted Trent Green four times and recovered a fumbled snap. Green also fumbled attempting a spike play late in the first half, possibly costing Miami points. Dallas came from behind twice and nursed a 20-13 lead early in the fourth quarter, then sealed the win with two touchdowns in the final 4:01. Anthony Henry had two interceptions, and Ken Hamlin and Roy Williams made one apiece as the Cowboys improved to 2-0 under new coach Wade Phillips.
