Bears held on for a 13-10 victory over the Buccaneers
at Raymond James Stadium. Kyle Orton threw a
touchdown pass after a Tampa Bay turnover early
in the first quarter, as the Bears (8-3) won
their seventh straight game to remain in command
of the NFC North. It is the club's longest winning
streak since 1986. Chris Simms completed 19-
of-30 passes for 202 yards in defeat. The Buccaneers
(7-4) had won their previous two games by a
total of four points, but Sunday's loss dropped

(MySportsbook) - LaDainian Tomlinson's 41-yard
touchdown run 34 seconds into overtime lifted

Final Score: Tennessee
33, San Francisco 22
Nashville, TN
(MySportsbook) - Steve McNair threw for 343
yards and three third-quarter touchdowns, as
the Tennessee Titans rolled to a 33-22 victory
over the San Francisco 49ers at The Coliseum.
McNair hit nine different receivers while completing
23-of-41 passes for the Titans (3-8), who snapped
a five-game losing streak and won for the first
time since October 9 against Houston. Chris
Brown ran for just 30 yards on 10 carries, but
caught three passes for 105 yards with a score
in the victory. The 49ers (2-9) have lost four
in a row and failed to score an offensive touchdown
until late in the fourth quarter. Ken Dorsey

interceptions, completing just 23-of-43 passes
in defeat.
Final Score: St. Louis
33, Houston 27 (OT)
Houston, TX
(MySportsbook) - Kevin Curtis caught a screen
pass and sprinted 56 yards for the game-winning
touchdown in overtime, lifting the St. Louis
Rams to a wild 33-27 victory over the Houston
Texans at Reliant Stadium. It was Curtis' only
reception of the day, and the Rams battled back
from a 17-0 deficit to end a two-game losing
streak. St. Louis (5-6), which will host the
Washington Redskins next Sunday, lost another
quarterback as Jamie Martin left the game with
a head injury. Martin was taking over for injured
starter Marc Bulger and was replaced by rookie
Ryan Fitzpatrick, who finished 19-of-30 for
310 yards with three touchdowns and an interception.
David Carr completed 25 of his 34 attempts for
293 yards and three TDs, but was picked off
once for the Texans (1-10), losers of four in
a row.
Final Score: Jacksonville
24, Arizona 17
Tempe, AZ (MySportsbook) - David Garrard completed 12-of-26
passes for 115 yards and ran for 62 yards with
a score in place of an injured Byron Leftwich,
as the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Arizona
Cardinals, 24-17, at Sun Devil Stadium. Leftwich
left early in the first quarter with what has
been reported by various media outlets as a
broken bone in his left ankle. He did not return
and Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio apparently
indicated the quarterback could miss 4-to-6
weeks. Jacksonville (8-3) won its fourth consecutive
game behind a solid ground game, minus the services
of Fred Taylor, and a defense that sacked Kurt
Warner three times. Warner completed 29-of-46
passes for 315 yards with two touchdowns and
an interception for the Cardinals (3-8), who
have lost four of their last five games.
Final Score: Miami 33,
Oakland 21
Oakland, CA
(MySportsbook) - Gus Frerotte ended 18-of-31
for 261 yards with two touchdowns and Ricky
Williams sealed the win with a 34-yard score
late in the game, as Miami defeated Oakland,
33-21, at McAfee Coliseum. Williams ended with
82 yards on 16 carries while backfield mate
Ronnie Brown ran for 58 yards and a touchdown
for the Dolphins (4-7), who put an end to a
three-game losing streak and matched their win
total from last year. Chris Chambers caught
six passes for 101 yards for Miami, which had
its highest offensive output since putting up
34 points in a Week 1 win over Denver. Kerry
Collins finished 21-of-37 for 226 yards with
two interceptions and also ran for a touchdown
for the Raiders (4-7), who have dropped three
of their last four games.
Final Score: Philadelphia
19, Green Bay 14
Philadelphia, PA
(MySportsbook) - Brian Westbrook ran for 117
yards and a touchdown while David Akers kicked
four field goals, as the Philadelphia Eagles
defeated the Green Bay Packers, 19-14, at Lincoln
Financial Field. Westbrook carried the ball
21 times for the injury-plagued Eagles (5-6),
who snapped a four-game losing streak. Philadelphia
quarterback Mike McMahon went 12-of-28 for 91
yards in his second start in place of Donovan
McNabb, who was placed on injured reserve earlier
this week with a sports hernia. Samkon Gado
carried the ball 26 times for 111 yards and
a touchdown for the Packers (2-9), who have
lost two straight and five of their last six
games. Brett Favre was 15-of-33 for 171 yards
with a touchdown and two interceptions in the
Green Bay loss. The Packers are now guaranteed
their first losing season since 1991, which
was one year before Favre joined the team.
Final Score: Seattle
24, NY Giants 21 (OT)
Seattle, WA
(MySportsbook) - Josh Brown's 37-yard field
goal 12:15 into overtime staked Seattle to a
thrilling 24-21 victory over the New York Giants
in a key NFC showdown at Qwest Field. Joe Jurevicius
had 137 yards on eight receptions and caught
two touchdown passes from Matt Hasselbeck for
the Seahawks (9-2), who survived three potential
game-winning field goal misses from the Giants'
Jay Feely to run their winning streak to seven
games. Shaun Alexander rushed for 110 yards
on 31 carries and recorded his 20th touchdown
of the season to help Seattle remain unbeaten
(6-0) at home. Eli Manning threw for 344 yards
and two touchdowns for the Giants (7-4), who
remained tied with Dallas for the NFC East lead.
Final Score: New Orleans
21, NY Jets 19
East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - Aaron Brooks hit Devery Henderson
for a 30-yard touchdown with 8:32 left in the
game and Mike Nugent missed a 53-yard field
goal in the waning seconds, as the New Orleans
Saints held off the New York Jets, 21-19, at
Giants Stadium. Brooks ended 17-of-23 for 181
yards with three touchdowns for the Saints (3-8),
who put an end to a six-game losing streak.
Donte' Stallworth caught five passes for 48
yards with a score in the win. Brooks Bollinger
was 19-of-28 for 251 yards with a touchdown
for the Jets (2-9), who have lost four straight
games. Curtis Martin ran for 91 yards on 24
carries in the loss and in the process, became
the fourth player in NFL history to rush for
at least 14,000 yards.
