Final Score: Green Bay 34, Minnesota 0

Green Bay, WI (My Sportsbook) - Brett Favre became just the second player in NFL history to surpass 60,000 passing yards as Green Bay embarrassed Minnesota, 34-0, at Lambeau Field. Favre was 33-of-46 for 351 yards and three touchdowns for the Packers (8-1), who have won 12 of their last 13 games dating back to last season and took their fourth straight against the Vikings. Favre reached the 60,000 mark when he found running back Vernand Morency for a short three-yard gain in the second quarter. The veteran now has 60,257 passing yards and trails only Dan Marino, who threw for 61,361 in his Hall of Fame career with the Miami Dolphins. Ryan Grant became the first player to rush for 100 yards against the Vikings this season with 119 yards on 25 carries, while Ruvell Martin had four receptions for 57 yards and a pair of scores for Green Bay, which has the best record in the NFC. Adrian Peterson ran for just 45 yards on 11 carries before leaving late in the third quarter with a knee injury for the Vikings (3-6), who have lost six of their past eight games. Brooks Bollinger finished 16- of-26 for 176 yards with an interception in his first start at quarterback for Minnesota. Bollinger replaced Tarvaris Jackson, who suffered a concussion against San Diego last week. Robert Ferguson had six receptions for 59 yards.

Kansas City, MO (My Sportsbook) - Rookie Selvin Young rushed for a career- high 109 yards and a touchdown to lead the Denver Broncos to a 27-11 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. With Travis Henry sidelined with an ankle injury, Young got the start in the backfield and made the most of his opportunity for the Broncos (4-5), who avoided losing their third straight game. Young also caught three passes for 20 yards while Brandon Marshall had six receptions for 85 yards. Despite a lower leg injury, Jay Cutler made the start for Denver and threw for 192 yards on 17-of-29 passing with a touchdown and interception. Dwayne Bowe hauled in a career- high nine passes for 105 yards for the Chiefs (4-5), who have lost two straight. Damon Huard started behind center for Kansas City and struggled before being replaced by Brodie Croyle in the third quarter.

Croyle went on to throw for 162 yards on 17-of-30 passing with an interception in the loss. Priest Holmes, who started in place of the injured Larry Johnson for Kansas City, ran the ball 20 times for 65 yards.

Final Score: Buffalo 13, Miami 10

Miami, FL (My Sportsbook) - Rian Lindell hit a 34-yard field goal with 46 seconds left in the game, as the Buffalo Bills rallied in the fourth quarter to keep Miami winless with a 13-10 triumph at Dolphin Stadium. J.P. Losman passed for 157 yards on 12-of-23 completions and was picked off once for the Bills (5-4), who have won four in a row overall, and six of their last seven over Miami. Marshawn Lynch gained 61 yards and added a score on 19 carries, and Lee Evans led the receiving corps with 65 yards on four catches.

Jesse Chatman rushed 27 times for 124 yards and caught five balls for 25 yards in the loss, Miami's 12th consecutive defeat since a 21-0 win over New England on December 10, 2006.

Final Score: St. Louis 37, New Orleans 29

New Orleans, LA (My Sportsbook) - Marc Bulger threw for 302 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while running back Steven Jackson also added his first career score through the air as St. Louis held off a furious late rally to edge New Orleans, 37-29, earning its first win of the season. Bulger completed 27-of-33 passes and spread the ball around to seven different receivers for the Rams (1-8), who put a startling end to the worst start in franchise history, having surpassed the 0-6 beginning the 1962 Los Angeles- based club endured. They also ended the longest slide since the 1991-92 squad dropped 11 in a row. Torry Holt had eight receptions for 124 yards, while Isaac Bruce, Randy McMichael and Drew Bennett all had four receptions and a TD apiece as the Rams picked apart the New Orleans secondary all afternoon. Jackson, meanwhile, returned to form with 22 carries for 76 yards after a bulging disc in his back knocked him out early in a 27-20 loss to Cleveland on October 28. Drew Brees struggled to find consistency all afternoon for the Saints (4-5), who had a four-game win streak halted and failed to move above the .500 mark. Brees completed 25-of-36 passes for 272 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but was also intercepted twice. Marques Colston went over the century mark again and was the lone bright spot for the receiving corps, with eight catches for 129 yards, while Reggie Bush racked up just 44 all purpose yards and one rushing TD.

Final Score: Pittsburgh 31, Cleveland 28

Pittsburgh, PA (My Sportsbook) - Ben Roethlisberger threw the go-ahead two- yard touchdown pass to Heath Miller with 3:13 left in the fourth quarter, as Pittsburgh rallied to beat the Cleveland Browns, 31-28, at Heinz Field. Roethlisberger completed 23-of-34 passes for 278 yards with two scores and was picked off once. Willie Parker amassed 105 yards on 25 carries for Pittsburgh (7-2), which has won nine straight against Cleveland and three in a row overall to grab a firm hold of the AFC North Division. Hines Ward had seven receptions for 80 yards with one touchdown and Miller caught five passes for 71 yards. Derek Anderson threw for 123 yards on 16-of-35 attempts with three touchdowns for the Browns (5-4), who had their three-game winning streak broken. Cleveland has not won four straight since 1994. Kellen Winslow and Joe Jurevicius each hauled in five passes for 46 and 44 yards, respectively. Joshua Cribbs ran a kickoff back 100 yards for a score for Cleveland.

Final Score: Jacksonville 28, Tennessee 13

Nashville, TN (My Sportsbook) - Fred Taylor rushed for 45 yards, which put him over 10,000 yards for his career, and added a score as the Jacksonville Jaguars ran over the Tennessee Titans, 28-13. Maurice Jones-Drew added 101 yards on the ground and a score, and Greg Jones had a touchdown run as the Jaguars ran for 166 yards on the NFL's top rushing defense. Jones also had a touchdown reception, as Quinn Gray threw for 101 yards and that score on 13-of-23 passing. Jacksonville (6-3) won for the second time in three weeks. Vince Young threw for 257 yards and a touchdown, but completed just 24-of-41 passes, and had two interceptions, as the Titans (6-3) had a three-game winning streak snapped. Justin Gage had seven receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown, and Rob Bironas had two field goals, giving him 15 consecutive made.

Final Score: Philadelphia 33, Washington 25

Landover, MD (My Sportsbook) - Brian Westbrook scored two touchdowns 58 seconds apart late in the fourth quarter as the Philadelphia Eagles stormed past the Washington Redskins, 33-25, at FedEx Field. Donovan McNabb completed 20-of-28 passes for 251 yards and four touchdowns for the Eagles (4-5), who have been reduced to spoiler in the NFC East and battle the winless Miami Dolphins next Sunday. McNabb also broke Ron Jaworski's team record with 10:35 left in the game on an underthrown pass to Reggie Brown, marking his 2,089th career completion. Westbrook rolled up 100 yards on 20 carries and also had five catches for 83 yards. He ended the day with three TDs. Jason Campbell was 23-of-34 and threw a career-high three touchdown passes for Washington (5-4), including two to former Eagles receiver James Thrash. Thrash, who finished with five receptions for 85 yards, was taking the place of wide receiver Santana Moss, who was inactive with a bruised heel. Clinton Portis also finished with 137 yards on 30 carries.

Final Score: Cincinnati 21, Baltimore 7

Baltimore, MD (My Sportsbook) - Shayne Graham kicked a team-record seven field goals and the Bengals defense forced six turnovers to lead Cincinnati past the Baltimore Ravens, 21-7, at M&T Bank Stadium. Carson Palmer completed 23-of-34 passes for 271 yards for the Bengals (3-6), who snapped a two-game losing streak. Chris Henry, who had been suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for the first eight games of the 2007 season back in April for a myriad of off-field run-ins with law enforcement and additional violations of league policy, caught four passes for 99 yards in his season debut. T.J. Houshmandzadeh had six receptions for 45 yards and Chad Johnson had 73 yards receiving on four catches. Rudi Johnson collected 46 yards on the ground.

Fitzgerald finished the game with eight catches for 74 yards while Pope had five receptions for 52 yards for Arizona, which has won two straight against Detroit. Karlos Dansby had a big game for Arizona as he picked the ball off twice and caused a fumble that was recovered.

East Rutherford, NJ (My Sportsbook) - Tony Romo threw for 247 yards with four touchdowns to lead the Dallas Cowboys over the New York Giants 31-20 at the Meadowlands.

Final Score: Chicago 17, Oakland 6

Oakland, CA (My Sportsbook) - Rex Grossman's 59-yard touchdown pass to Bernard Berrian with a little more than three minutes to play gave Chicago the lead, as the Bears got past the lowly Oakland Raiders, 17-6, at McAfee Coliseum. Grossman completed 7-of-14 passes for 142 yards for the Bears (4-5) after Brian Griese injured his shoulder late in the first half and did not return. Griese ended 10-of-14 for 97 yards. Berrian had four catches for 89 yards, Cedric Benson ran for 76 yards and a TD and Robbie Gould tacked on a field goal for Chicago, which suffered through a Week 9 bye preceded by an ugly 16-7 home loss to Detroit. All-Pro specialist Devin Hester averaged just 2.3 yards on six punt returns and 17 yards on a pair of kickoff returns for the Bears. Josh McCown was a dismal 14-of-27 for 108 yards passing with an interception for Oakland (2-7), which has lost five in a row. It was McCown's second game since replacing the struggling Daunte Culpepper, but he couldn't help an offense averaging just 11.2 points during its current skid.

Final Score: San Diego 23, Indianapolis 21

San Diego, CA (My Sportsbook) - Darren Sproles returned a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns as the San Diego Chargers barely held on for a 23-21 win over the Indianapolis Colts at Qualcomm Stadium. A week after getting beat by the Patriots, the Colts attempted a miraculous comeback as, trailing 23-0, the team scored 21 unanswered points and had a chance to win the contest with under two minutes to play. After Clint Session's second pick of the game gave the Colts the ball at the San Diego 42 with 5:50 left, Peyton Manning drove his team down the field. On 3rd-and-3 at the nine-yard-line, Joseph Addai took the ball up the middle and appeared to have the first down, but a booth replay showed that he was just short of the first down marker, forcing a 4th-and-short. The Colts lined up to try and draw San Diego offsides, but a false start penalty pushed the ball back five yards and the team called on Adam Vinatieri for a 29-yard field goal with 1:34 remaining. However, he pushed his attempt wide right. Indianapolis had one last chance to win the game as the team stopped San Diego on the ensuing possession, but Manning was picked off on the last play of the contest, his career-high and team-record sixth interception of the game. Manning had one of the worst games of his career as he threw his six picks on 34-for-56 passing with 328 yards and two touchdowns while Reggie Wayne had 10 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown for the Colts (7-2), who have dropped their last two games. Vinatieri missed both of the field goals he lined up for. The Colts now hold a one-game lead over Jacksonville for the top spot in the AFC South. LaDainian Tomlinson finished the game with 21 carries for 76 yards and a score while Antonio Cromartie, who set an NFL record with a 109-yard touchdown return on a missed field goal in last week's loss to Minnesota, had three interceptions for the Chargers (5-4), who have won four of their last five games. Philip Rivers had another sub-par performance for San Diego as he finished the game 13-for-24 with 104 yards and two interceptions. The win moved San Diego one game ahead of Denver for first place in the AFC West.
