Packers defeat Browns 31-3 - Green Bay put together 21 points in the third quarter, and kept Cleveland out of the end zone for the entire game. Aaron Rodgers was efficient, completing 15-of-20 passes for 246 yards and 3 touchdowns. Ryan Grant rushed for 148 yards on the ground and a touchdown.
Texans defeat 49ers 24-21 - Houston took a 21-0 lead into halftime, but a frantic second-half rally by the 49ers made this thing a lot closer than it needed to be. Shaun Hill was benched, and Alex Smith came in to throw 3 touchdowns passes, all to TE Vernon Davis. Matt Schaub now leads the NFL in passing yards, and he put up 264 more Sunday while throwing for 2 touchdowns.
Chargers defeat Chiefs 37-7 - In a must-win game for San Diego, the Chargers responded thanks to 268 passing yards and 3 touchdowns from Phillip Rivers. Vincent Jackson accounted for 142 receiving yards in the first half alone as the Chargers took a 20-0 lead into halftime and never looked back.
Steelers defeat Vikings 27-17 - Pittsburgh’s defense won this game for them, returning a fumble for 77 yards and an interception for 82 yards, both in the fourth quarter and both for touchdowns. The Vikings actually outgained the Steelers 386-259, but the Steelers’ defense was the difference with two huge plays.
Colts defeat Rams 42-6 - Indianapolis handed St. Louis their 17th straight loss, and it was the 16th straight regular season for the Colts in the process. Peyton Manning didn’t top 300 yards passing for the first time this season, but his 235 yards and 3 touchdowns were more than enough to put the Rams away.
Patriots defeat Buccaneers 35-7 - In the third-annual London game, it was Tom Brady and New England who stole the show. Brady threw for 302 yards and 3 touchdowns, while the Patriots’ defense held Tampa QB Josh Johnson to just 9-of-26 passing with 3 interceptions.
Bills defeat Panthers 20-9 - Another poor outing from QB Jake Delhomme had Buffalo coming out on top. Surprisingly, Buffalo was outgained 167-425 but 3 interceptions and a lost fumble from Delhomme put a halt to four Carolina drives. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick made the start in place of Trent Edwards, and he did all that was asked of him by throwing for 123 yards and a touchdown without an interception.
Jets defeat Raiders 38-0 - Three turnovers by JaMarcus Russell in the first half, 2 interceptions and 1 fumble, led to his benching and a 24-0 lead for New York by the break. Rookie RB Shonn Greene led the way on the ground, rushing for 144 yards and two touchdowns after Leon Washington went out with a broken leg. Thomas Jones also rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown in the win. Mark Sanchez got back on track, completing 9-of-15 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown without an interception.
Bengals defeat Bears 45-10 - In what was a statement game for Cincinnati, the Bengals took a 31-3 lead into the half. Carson Palmer was flawless, completing 20-of-24 passes for 233 yards and a career-high 5 touchdowns. Chad Ochocinco caught 10 balls for 118 yards and 2 touchdowns. Jay Cutler threw 3 interceptions for Chicago, not helping their cause.
Cowboys defeat Falcons 37-21 - After falling behind 0-7, it was all Dallas the rest of the way as they scored 17 unanswered points in the second quarter. Tony Romo threw for 311 yards and 3 touchdowns, and WR Miles Austin had his second consecutive big game with 6 catches for 171 yards and 2 touchdowns. Austin now has 421 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns in the Cowboys’ last 2 games, alone.
Saints defeat Dolphins 46-34 - It’s hard to believe that New Orleans was down 3-24 in the first half at one point. But they got a touchdown on the final play of the first half on a QB sneak by Drew Brees to make it 10-24 to give them some momentum heading into the break. The Saints outscored the Dolphins 22-0 in the fourth quarter, and Drew Brees finished with 298 passing yards, 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions. But Brees rushed for 2 touchdowns to help New Orleans remain unbeaten on the season. Miami’s Ricky Williams rushed for 3 touchdowns in the loss.
Cardinals defeat Giants 24-17 - The Cardinals’ defense was the difference. Arizona forced Eli Manning into 3 interceptions and also forced a key fumble by Ahmad Bradshaw late. The Cardinals outscored the Giants 14-3 in the second half.
Eagles defeat Redskins 27-17 - DeSean Jackson rushed for a 67-yard touchdown on an end-around less than 2 minutes into the game. He also caught a 57-yard touchdown pass from Donovan McNabb late in the third quarter to put the Eagles up 27-7, and basically put this game out of reach. Washington actually outgained Philly 308-262 and had 21 first downs to their 11, but 3 lost fumbles and an interception gave the Redskins no chance to win. LB Will Witherspoon made a big impact after getting traded from the Rams earlier this week, returning a Jason Campbell interception for a touchdown to put the Eagles ahead 14-0 in the first quarter.
