NFL ROUNDUP \ Sunday’s other games

INTERCONFERENCE

Packers 31, Chargers 24

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Brett Favre’s 420th career touchdown pass meant more than just drawing even with Dan Marino. The 57-yard completion to Greg Jennings, with just over two minutes remaining, tied Marino’s all-time NFL record for career TD passes. Favre’s 38th career fourth-quarter comeback came one series after the Chargers’ defense stopped Favre and the undefeated Packers cold on fourth-and-goal. It spoiled a breakout game for Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, who started 15-for-15 to tie Dan Fouts’ franchise record for consecutive completions. Rivers drove the Chargers to take the lead in the third quarter. Favre finished 28-of-35 for 369 yards and three touchdowns.

Ravens 26, Cardinals 23

BALTIMORE — Kurt Warner orchestrated a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback, only to be outdone by another backup quarterback. Kyle Boller moved the Ravens into position for Matt Stover’s winning 46-yard field goal as time expired. The Ravens led 20-3 at halftime and 23-6 entering the fourth quarter, but struggled in the final 15 minutes for the second straight game. Warner rallied the Cardinals (1-2) to a tie at 23 with 1:50 left. That left it up to Boller, who replaced an ailing Steve McNair in the fourth quarter. Starting at the Baltimore 20, Boller went 5-for-5 for 32 yards, and the Ravens benefited from a questionable personal foul call on safety Adrian Wilson to get into position for Stover’s kick.

Colts 30, Texans 24

HOUSTON — Joseph Addai ran for two touchdowns and Adam Vinatieri added three field goals to lead the Colts past the Texans. Houston (2-1) entered the game without star receiver Andre Johnson, who sprained his knee last week, and lost running back Ahman Green to a knee injury on the first series of the second quarter. Backup Ron Dayne was inactive because of bruised ribs, so the Texans had to rely on third-stringer Samkon Gado for the rest of the game.

Chiefs 13, Vikings 10

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Damon Huard, giving up on getting any production from Larry Johnson, hit rookie wide receiver Dwayne Bowe with a fourth-quarter touchdown pass. Johnson, still chipping away rust following his 25-day holdout and dogged by a defense focused on him, was held to 42 yards on 24 carries. At one point in the third quarter, the two-time Pro Bowler lost yardage on three consecutive carries against a Minnesota defense stacking eight and sometimes nine men in the box. So the Chiefs turned to Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez and Bowe, their first-round draft pick last April, to fuel their only sustained drive of the day. The 12-play, 84-yard march ended when Bowe beat Cedric Griffin in the corner of the end zone for a 16-yard catch.

AFC

Jets 31, Dolphins 28

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Chad Pennington left no question whether his injured right ankle was completely healed. Showing no ill effects from the injury that sidelined him last week, Pennington threw two touchdown passes and ran for another as he consistently moved the offense. Leon Washington returned a kickoff 98 yards for a score, and Thomas Jones had his first big game for the Jets by rushing for 110 yards on 25 carries.

Patriots 38, Bills 7

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady and Randy Moss team up for touchdowns as if they’ve played together all their lives. Brady threw two of his four scoring passes to his new deep threat. They’ve combined for five touchdowns and 403 yards, as Moss became the first receiver in NFL history to gain at least 100 yards receiving in each of his first three games with a new team. Moss finished with five catches for 115 yards. The Bills (0-3) lost quarterback J.P. Losman to a knee injury when he was sacked and lost a fumble on his third play.

Jaguars 23, Denver 14

DENVER — Fred Taylor rushed for 84 yards as the Jaguars controlled the clock for nearly 39 minutes in shutting down the league’s top tailback and its most prolific offense. Denver’s Travis Henry ran just 11 times for 35 yards. The Broncos, who piled up 911 yards in their first two games, managed just 265. The Broncos had no choice but to go to the air in the fourth quarter, and Sammy Knight sealed the win with his first interception for Jacksonville in the closing minutes.

NFC

Buccaneers 24, Rams 3

TAMPA, Fla. — Hard-hitting safety Jermaine Phillips and reserve cornerback Phillip Buchanon intercepted passes as the revamped Bucs throttled St. Louis’ struggling offense. Seldom-used running back Earnest Graham entered in the fourth quarter and scored on runs of 8 and 28 yards for Tampa Bay.

Eagles 56, Lions 21

PHILADELPHIA — Donovan McNabb threw for 381 yards and four touchdowns and Kevin Curtis had 221 yards receiving and three scores as the Eagles scored touchdowns on their first five possessions and had a franchise-record 42 points in the first half.

Panthers 27, Falcons 20

ATLANTA — The Panthers overcame a 361-yard, two-touchdown performance by Joey Harrington and an injury to Jake Delhomme. DeShaun Foster rushed 122 yards and scored a couple of TDs, but Carolina may have lost its quarterback for a while. Delhomme injured his throwing arm in the third quarter and didn’t return.

Giants 24, Redskins 17

LANDOVER, Md. — A Giants defense that had allowed 80 points in its first two games allowed only 81 yards after halftime, and stopped Washington on four plays from first-and-goal at the 1 in the final minute. New York scored the game’s final 21 points and rallied from a two-touchdown deficit.
