Raiders' offense, defense beat Colts

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Oakland's offense kept Peyton Manning off the field late in the game. When the Indianapolis Colts quarterback finally got back in, the Raiders' defense sealed the victory.

Rich Gannon led a drive, capped by Sebastian Janikowski's 37-yard field goal, that lasted 6 minutes, 49 seconds, and the Raiders (4-1) beat the Colts 23-18 on Sunday night.

Indianapolis (2-2) had to go 80 yards for the winning score with just 2:23 left, but the Colts' chances ended when Manning was intercepted by Tory James.

The Colts thought they had closed within a field goal early in the fourth quarter when officials ruled that Edgerrin James scored on a 2-point conversion run. But after the Colts lined up to kick off, the officials reversed the call.

Rams 15, Giants 14

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Trung Canidate, subbing for the injured Marshall Faulk, scored on 1-yard run with 4:16 to go, and St. Louis held on to beat New York.

The Giants (3-2) forced a pair of rare fumbles by Faulk and knocked him out of the game late in the third with what an MRI exam showed to be a bone bruise in the right knee.

The Giants were driving for a possible game-winning field goal before Grant Wistrom's fumble recovery with 1:04 to go clinched the victory for the Rams (5-0). Adam Archuleta hit Joe Jurevicius just as the ball arrived at the St. Louis 27, popping the ball into the air for Wistrom.

Jets 21, Dolphins 17

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Laveranues Coles caught two touchdown passes, and Curtis Martin rushed for 120 yards as New York rallied from a 17-point deficit to extend its winning streak over Miami to seven.

Last year, the Jets (3-2) stormed back from a 30-7 deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Dolphins 40-37 in overtime in a Monday night game dubbed the Miracle at the Meadowlands.

The maligned Jets defense rose against the Dolphins (3-2) in the final moments with interceptions by Marvin Jones and Victor Green.

Seahawks 34, Broncos 21

SEATTLE (AP) -- Trent Dilfer, playing for the second straight week in place of injured Matt Hasselbeck, made it 13 consecutive victories as a starting quarterback as Seattle beat Denver.

Brian Griese was intercepted three times, and Mike Anderson was held to 51 yards on 17 carries for Denver (3-2).

Packers 31, Ravens 23

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Brett Favre shredded Baltimore's vaunted defense for 337 yards and three touchdowns on 27-of-34 passing as Green Bay beat the defending Super Bowl champs.

Antonio Freeman had nine receptions for 138 yards and a touchdown for the Packers (4-1), who forced four turnovers and scored more points against the Ravens (3-2) than any team since Jacksonville in a 39-36 loss to Baltimore on Sept. 10, 2000.

Baltimore's Elvis Grbac sustained a mild concussion in the first half but didn't leave until 6:51 remained. Randall Cunningham replaced him and led Baltimore on two scoring drives.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)-- Joe Nedney kicked a 49-yard field goal in overtime as Tennessee beat Tampa Bay after blowing a 14-point lead in the final 7:53 of regulation.

Brad Johnson rallied the Buccaneers (2-2) by tossing two of his three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, including a 5-yarder with 54 seconds left that tied it at 28.

Steve McNair, who threw for a touchdown and ran for another, was 15-of-23 for 230 yards and added 54 yards on nine carries for Tennessee (1-3).

49ers 37, Falcons 31, OT

The 49ers (4-1), rallying from an early 14-0 deficit, tied it at 31 when Garcia hooked up with Owens on a 17-yard TD with 17 seconds left in regulation.

Garcia was 27-of-41 for 332 yards, duplicating a Week 1 comeback that led to another overtime victory over Atlanta (2-3).

Patriots 29, Chargers 26, OT

FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) -- Tom Brady rallied New England from a late 10-point deficit and helped set up Adam Vinatieri's 44-yard field goal in overtime to lead the Patriots (2-3) over San Diego (3-2).

With the Patriots trailing by 10 in the fourth, Vinatieri kicked a 23-yard field goal with 3:31 left and Brady connected with Jermaine Wiggins on a 3-yard pass with 36 seconds left to tie it.

Chicago (3-1) held the Cardinals (1-3) without a touchdown until Jake Plummer hit Frank Sanders on a 7-yard pass with 2:52 left, completing a 13-play, 99-yard drive.

Saints 27, Panthers 25

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Ricky Williams outran the Carolina defense on a 1-yard race to the end zone with no time left to win it for New Orleans.

With 1 second left, the Panthers stacked the line, assuming quarterback Aaron Brooks or Williams might try to go straight into the end zone. Instead, Williams took the pitch and went around the left side of the line untouched for the score, capping a late flurry of scoring that prevented the Saints (3-1) from nearly losing a game they dominated.

The Panthers (1-4) lost their fourth straight, their longest losing streak since they opened the 1998 season 0-7.

Williams finished with 147 yards on 31 carries.

Bengals 24, Browns 14

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Corey Dillon ran for a season-high 140 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown as the Bengals beat Cleveland in front of a crowd of 64,217 -- the largest ever to see a sporting event in Cincinnati.

Dillon's 5-yard run early in the fourth allowed a Bengals defense missing linebacker Takeo Spikes to dig in and prevent another fourth-quarter comeback by Tim Couch and the upstart Browns (3-2).

At 3-2, Cincinnati is off to its best start since 1990, the last time it had a winning record.

Steelers 20, Chiefs 17

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Jerome Bettis rushed for 112 yards and set up two scores as Pittsburgh held off a late rally and beat Kansas City.

The Steelers (3-1) never trailed against the Chiefs, who fell to 0-3 at home for the first time since 1980. Kris Brown kicked two field goals, including a 55-yarder, and Chad Scott intercepted a pass from Trent Green and ran it back 61 yards for a touchdown.

Priest Holmes had 150 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries for Kansas City.
