NFL ROUNDUP Sunday’s other games

Falcons 21, Bears 14

ATLANTA — Chicago made another huge mistake in the red zone, and the Falcons held on for another wild victory. Michael Turner scored the go-ahead touchdown on an otherwise forgettable night, powering over from 5 yards with 3:06 remaining, and the defense held at the end to preserve a 21-14 victory Sunday night. Matt Ryan threw two touchdown passes for the Falcons (4-1), who matched the best five-game start in franchise history. The Bears (3-2) will surely be moaning about all the mistakes down close that helped end their three-game winning streak: a fumble at the 1, an interception at the 9 and a crucial penalty when they had fourth-and-1 at the Atlanta 5 with less than a minute to go.

Saints 48, Giants 27

NEW ORLEANS — Eli Manning returned to his hometown only to see Drew Brees torch the New York Giants’ league-leading defense. Brees ended his two-game streak without a touchdown throw by completing 23 of 30 passes for 369 yards and four scores. The Giants (5-1) came into the game giving up averages of 210.6 yards and 14.2 points. The Saints (5-0) had 34 points and 315 yards by halftime, as Brees threw three TD passes to reach 100 since the Saints signed him as a free agent in 2006.

Vikings 33, Ravens 31

MINNEAPOLIS — Brett Favre’s 58-yard completion to Sidney Rice setup Ryan Longwell’s fourth field goal, and Baltimore’s Steve Hauschka missed a 44-yard field goal at the final whistle, allowing the Vikings to remain undefeated. Favre threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns, but the Vikings (6-0) nearly blew this one when they let the Ravens erase a 17-point deficit with 10 minutes to play. Joe Flacco threw for 385 yards and two touchdowns for the Ravens (3-3), who scored twice on drives that totaled just 56 seconds to take a 31-30 lead with 3:37 to play. But Hauschka pushed his field goal wide left, giving the Ravens their third straight loss.

Panthers 28, Buccaneers 21

TAMPA, Fla. — A week after getting their first win by beating the struggling Redskins, the Panthers got another by rushing for 267 yards and three touchdowns. DeAngelo Williams gained a season-best 152 yards on 30 carries and scored twice, including the winning TD with 29 seconds left.

Packers 26, Lions 0

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers got sacked five times but still managed to have a big day against Detroit’s defense, throwing for 358 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Donald Driver became the franchise’s career receptions leader with a first-quarter catch and rookie outside linebacker Clay Matthews III had two sacks as the Packers (3-2) turned in a dominant defensive effort against an undermanned Lions offense. Detroit (1-5) was without rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson because of injuries — and it showed, as the Lions managed only 79 yards of total offense in the first half.

Chiefs 14, Redskins 6

LANDOVER, Md. — Ryan Succop’s four field goals, including the go-ahead 46-yarder with 3:36 to play, plus a last-minute safety were all the Chiefs needed. They earned rookie coach Todd Haley his first win and Jim Zorn another week of extreme questioning about the future of his job and the Washington franchise. The Chiefs (1-5) had lost 28 of their last 30 and hadn’t won since last November. The win avoided the first 0-6 start in team history. The Chiefs followed the path paved by the Detroit Lions and Carolina Panthers, who also ended winless streaks against the Redskins (2-4) this year.

Jaguars 23, Rams 20, OT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Torry Holt had 101 yards receiving in his first game against his former team, Maurice Jones-Drew ran for 133 yards and three touchdowns and Jacksonville won in overtime. Josh Scobee provided the winner, a 36-yard field goal with 8 minutes to play in the extra frame. St. Louis (0-6) extended the NFL’s longest current losing streak to 16 games. The Rams had two shots at snapping the skid. They took a 17-13 lead with 4:36 remaining on Leonard Little’s 36-yard interception return for a score, but couldn’t stop the Jaguars (3-3) on the ensuing drive. St. Louis got near the goal line in the final seconds, but settled for a tying field goal. The Jaguars won the toss, made a few plays and got Scobee in position for the winner.

Raiders 13, Eagles 9

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders provided an emphatic answer to the skeptics dishing out barbs the last few weeks. Louis Murphy threw two key blocks to spring Zach Miller’s 86-yard touchdown catch, Justin Fargas ran for 87 yards and Oakland’s defense harassed Donovan McNabb all day. The result was one of the more shocking ones so far this season as the Raiders (2-4) had lost three straight games by at least 20 points for the first time in franchise history and failed to reach 200 yards of offense the past four, while the Eagles (3-2) were second in the league in points per game.

Cardinals 27, Seahawks 3

SEATTLE — Kurt Warner completed 32 of 41 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns while tying an NFL record for being the fastest to throw for 30,000 yards in a career. Larry Fitzgerald tied his career high with 13 receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown for the Cardinals (3-2), who led 14-0 before Seattle’s offense ran its first play 12 minutes into the first quarter.

Patriots 59, Titans 0

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Record-setting Tom Brady threw six touchdown passes and the Patriots sent the hapless Titans plummeting to a new low in their winless season. Five of those passes came in the second quarter, an NFL mark for one period. The six touchdown throws tied Brady’s own Patriots record. And the 59-point margin matched the largest since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, the Los Angeles Rams’ 59-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons in 1976. The Titans took their worst loss since they began play in 1960 as the Houston Oilers.

Bills 16, Jets 13, OT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Rian Lindell kicked a 47-yard field goal with 2:44 left in overtime, making up for a miss at the end of regulation and giving the Bills a wild victory. The Bills (2-4) took advantage of Mark Sanchez’s fifth interception of the day to snap a three-game losing streak, and send the sputtering Jets (3-3) to their third straight loss. Ryan Fitzpatrick stepped in ably for an injured Trent Edwards, who left early in the second quarter with a head injury, helping the Bills overcome Thomas Jones’ Jets franchise-record 210 yards rushing.
