NFL ROUNDUP Sunday’s other games

Titans 19, Packers 16 (OT)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans remained perfect — even if they needed a little extra time to stay that way. Rob Bironas got a second chance at redemption in overtime, kicking a 41-yard field goal with 9:36 to go that kept the Titans the NFL’s last unbeaten team. Bironas had a chance to win in regulation but banged a 47-yarder off the upright, prompting the All-Pro to yank his facemask down in anger at himself. But the Titans (8-0) won the toss and drove 55 yards in 10 plays to give Bironas another chance, helping Tennessee match a franchise record with its 11th straight regular-season victory. The Packers (4-4) had tied it at 16 on Mason Crosby’s third field goal, a 38-yarder, with 5:30 left.

Jets 26, Bills 17

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Abram Elam, starting in place of injured safety Eric Smith, returned an interception thrown by Trent Edwards 92 yards for a touchdown, sparking the New York Jets’ victory over the bumbling Buffalo Bills. The Jets (5-3) have won four of five and have caught the Bills in the division standings. Buffalo (5-3) has lost three of four and lost all the momentum it had generated following a 4-0 start. Brett Favre wasn’t exactly perfect a week after he threw three interceptions before securing a 28-24 win over Kansas City. Against Buffalo, he forced a throw to the left sideline and was intercepted by Jabari Greer, who returned it 42 yards for a touchdown that cut the Jets’ lead to 23-17 with under 11 minutes left.

Bears 27, Lions 23

CHICAGO — Rex Grossman came off the bench to replace injured quarterback Kyle Orton and scored the go-ahead touchdown with 5:36 left, helping the Bears rally from a 10-point deficit for a victory over the winless Detroit Lions. Matt Forte had 126 yards rushing for the Bears (5-3), who lost Orton to a right ankle injury and safety Mike Brown to a calf problem late in the first half.

Bucs 30, Chiefs 27, OT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeff Garcia’s 24-yard touchdown pass and 2-point conversion toss tied it with 19 seconds left, and Matt Bryant’s 33-yard field goal in overtime gave the Buccaneers a win after they trailed by 21. The Chiefs (1-7) never touched the ball in overtime as Garcia hit Michael Clayton for 29 yards on the first play and smartly moved Tampa Bay (6-3) down the field.

Adding to the dismay of the Chiefs was the fact that Bryant was wide right on a 38-yard try on third down in the overtime drive. But a false start penalty on Jeremy Trueblood negated the play.

Vikings 28, Texans 21

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings forced three turnovers, got three touchdown passes from Gus Frerotte and shut down Houston’s Andre Johnson. Minnesota (4-4) returned from the open week fully recharged. Madieu Williams intercepted Sage Rosenfels in the end zone in the third quarter, and Antoine Winfield picked off Matt Schaub at the Vikings 5 before Houston’s starting quarterback was sidelined at halftime by an injury to his left knee.

Cardinals 34, Rams 13

ST. LOUIS — Kurt Warner and the Cardinals used a 24-point second quarter to win another one in their former home city. The Cardinals have won four in a row in St. Louis, their home from 1960-87, and four straight over the Rams overall. Arizona (5-3) was in total command after scoring 10 points on turnovers and adding a pair of long scoring plays on touchdowns by Tim Hightower and Jerheme Urban. Warner had his 45th 300-yard passing game, throwing for two touchdowns to beat the team he led to two Super Bowls from 1999-2001. The Rams (2-6) have lost two straight after winning their first two games under new coach Jim Haslett, and were booed off the field at halftime and at every opportunity thereafter before the Edward Jones Dome emptied out in the fourth quarter.

Dolphins 26, Broncos 17

DENVER — The Miami Dolphins bottled up Denver’s ground game and intercepted Jay Cutler three times in a win over the befuddled Broncos. Cornerback Will Allen returned the second of Cutler’s mistakes 32 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. With Champ Bailey sidelined by a torn groin, Chad Pennington repeatedly picked on his replacement, Karl Paymah, who picked off one pass but otherwise was victimized all afternoon by Greg Camarillo, whose 11 receptions for 111 yards were season highs.

Falcons 24, Raiders 0

OAKLAND, Calif. — Matt Ryan threw a pair of first-half touchdown passes to Michael Jenkins and the Falcons held the Raiders to negative yards and no first downs in the first half and their lowest yards total in 47 years. In a six-year stretch of losing, embarrassment and new lows in Oakland, Al Davis’ once-proud franchise might have reached a new nadir this week in front of a half-filled stadium of fans who began booing the Raiders (2-6) just minutes in. Oakland finished with just 77 yards for its worst total since getting 58 in 1961 against the Chargers, when Davis was an assistant in San Diego.

Eagles 26, Seahawks 7

SEATTLE — Donovan McNabb rebounded from early problems to complete 28 of 43 passes for 349 yards and two touchdowns, one to tackle Todd Herremans, and rally the Philadelphia Eagles. Brent Celek, playing because L.J. Smith was out with a concussion, set an Eagles record for yards receiving by a tight end in a regular-season game with 131 on six receptions. Philadelphia (5-3) stayed two games behind the first-place New York Giants in the NFC East, and moved ahead of Dallas (5-4) for third in the division.
