Final Score: Minnesota 33, Baltimore 31
Minneapolis, MN (My Sportsbook) - Ryan Longwell converted all four of his field goals for Minnesota, his final one -- a 31-yarder -- with 1:56 remaining in regulation proved to be the difference and lifted the Minnesota Vikings to a thrilling 33-31 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The Vikings watched a seemingly comfortable 17-point fourth-quarter lead evaporate and trailed 31-30 after Baltimore's Ray Rice scored on a 33-yard touchdown run with 3:37 remaining. Brett Favre quickly moved Minnesota down the field and Longwell drilled the go-ahead field goal on the first play following the two-minute warning. Baltimore refused to go away quietly as Joe Flacco, who enjoyed a career day passing, marched the Ravens to within striking distance of a game-winning field goal. However, Steven Hauschka pulled a 44-yard attempt left of the upright as time expired. Favre threw three touchdown passes, including a pair to Visanthe Shiancoe, for the Vikings, who are off to their first 6-0 start since 2003. Favre finished with 278 yards on 21- of-29 efficiency, while Adrian Peterson rushed for 143 yards on 22 carries. Sidney Rice made six grabs for 176 yards, including a critical 58-yard reception on the drive that set up Longwell's decisive kick. Flacco connected on 28-of-43 passes for a career-best 385 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to help the Ravens (3-3) avoid heading into their bye week on a three-game losing streak. Ray Rice had 10 receptions for 117 yards, accrued 77 yards on the ground and recorded two scores.

Dwayne Bowe caught six passes for 109 yards, while Kansas City's defense held the Redskins to seven first downs, forced two turnovers and capped it with a safety in the waning seconds to give Todd Haley his first win as a head coach. Washington (2-4), which was playing its sixth straight winless opponent, was listless once again despite a quarterback change at halftime. Jason Campbell was benched after completing 9-of-16 passes for 89 yards with an interception, while Todd Collins finished with an equally miserable 75 yards on 6-of-14 throws. Clinton Portis gained 78 of his 109 yards on one play and lost a fumble in defeat, the club's third in four games.

Justin Fargas ran for 87 yards on 23 carries. While Oakland's offense came close to its point-per-game average of 9.8, its defense provided a stellar effort to facilitate the win. The Raiders came into Sunday's contest allowing 26 points per game, facing an Eagles team that had averaged 368.8 yards and 31.8 points. But Oakland recorded six sacks and held the Eagles to three field goals in snapping a three-game losing streak. Donovan McNabb threw for 269 yards on 22-of-46 passing, and looked out-of-rhythm for Philadelphia (3-2), which had little in the way of a rushing attack.

Final Score: Arizona 27, Seattle 3
Seattle, WA (My Sportsbook) - Kurt Warner surpassed 30,000 passing yards for his career and led the Arizona Cardinals in a 27-3 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field.
