Sunday's NFL results 9/24/07

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 and rallied Green Bay (3-0) past the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.

It spoiled a breakout game for Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, who started 15-for-15 to tie Dan Fouts' franchise record for consecutive completions.

Favre finished 28-of-35 for 369 yards and three touchdowns.

The Chargers (1-2) have lost as many games as they did in the entire regular season last year.

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 earned their first win.

In a stunning offensive display, the Eagles (1-2) scored touchdowns on their first five possessions and had a franchise-record 42 points in the first half.

The Lions (2-1) failed to earn their first 3-0 start in 27 years.

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 (2-1) led 20-3 at halftime. Warner rallied the Cardinals (1-2) to a tie at 23 with 1:50 left.

Colts 30, Texans 24

HOUSTON -- Joseph Addai ran for two touchdowns and Adam Vinatieri added three field goals to lead the Colts (3-0) past the injury-ravaged and mistake-prone 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.

Steelers 37, 49ers 16

PITTSBURGH -- Mike Tomlin's record after three games as Steelers coach is the same as Bill Cowher's was in 1992. Perfect.

Pittsburgh (3-0) played nearly error-free for the third week in a row, with Allen Rossum returning a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown and Willie Parker running for 133 yards in a defense-driven victory.

The 49ers (2-1) had won their last three road games.

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 (1-2) by rushing for 110 yards on 25 carries.

Miami (0-3) is winless under first-year coach Cam Cameron.

Patriots 38, Bills 7

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Brady threw two of his four scoring passes to Randy Moss, and the Patriots (3-0) rolled to their third straight rout.

Moss, obtained from Oakland in a draft-day trade, finished the day with five catches for 115 yards.

The Bills (0-3) lost quarterback J.P. Losman to a knee injury when he was sacked on his third play.

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 16-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown pass. The Chiefs (1-2) beat Minnesota (1-2) to avoid what would have been just their second 0-3 start in 27 years.

Johnson was held to 42 yards on 24 carries.

Jacksonville 23, Denver 14

DENVER -- Fred Taylor rushed for 84 yards as the Jaguars (2-1) 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 (2-1), who piled up 911 yards in their first two games, managed just 265.

Seahawks 24, Bengals 21

SEATTLE -- Nate Burleson caught a 22-yard touchdown pass from Matt Hasselbeck with 1 minute remaining to rescue Seattle (2-1).

Kenny Watson, subbing for ineffective and then injured Rudi Johnson, ran 8 yards with 2:42 left to rally the Bengals (1-2) to a 21-17 lead. T.J. Houshmandzadeh tied his career high with 12 catches and had 141 yards receiving with a touchdown for the Bengals.

Raiders 26, Browns 24

OAKLAND, Calif. -- A week after a late timeout wiped out Sebastian Janikowski's game-winning kick for Oakland (1-2), first-year coach Lane Kiffin successfully used the same strategy to help the Raiders win when Tommy Kelly blocked Phil Dawson's last-second field goal attempt.

Right before the Browns (0-3) snapped the ball, Kiffin called timeout just as Denver coach Mike Shanahan did to him a week ago in the Broncos' overtime win.

Like Janikowski a week ago, Dawson split the uprights with the kick that did not count. His next attempt was blocked.

Panthers 27, Falcons 20

ATLANTA -- Carolina (2-1) overcame a 361-yard, two-touchdown performance by Joey Harrington and an injury to Jake Delhomme.

DeShaun Foster rushed 122 yards and scored two touchdowns, but Carolina (2-1) may have lost its quarterback for a while. Delhomme injured his throwing arm in the third quarter and didn't return.

Atlanta fell to 0-3.

Giants 24, Redskins 17

LANDOVER, Md. -- A Giants defense that had allowed 80 points in its first two games allowed only 83 yards after halftime, and stopped Washington (2-1) on four plays from first-and-goal at the 1 in the final minute.

New York (1-2) scored the game's final 21 points and rallied from a two-touchdown deficit.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 21 of 26 passes for 232 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

Cowboys 34, Bears 10

CHICAGO -- Tony Romo passed for 329 yards after a rough start, Anthony Henry had two interceptions for the second straight week and the Cowboys (3-0) made a big statement, beating the Bears (1-2).

The Cowboys outscored the Bears 31-7 in the second half. Dallas is 3-0 for the first time since 1999.
