Baltimore, MD (My Sportsbook) - Joe Flacco threw for 175 yards and a touchdown, and the
Baltimore Ravens used a stifling display on defense to hand the previously unbeaten
Denver Broncos a 30-7 loss at M&T Bank Stadium. Flacco connected on 20-of-25 passes to tie a franchise record for completion percentage, while Ray Rice rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown to help Baltimore (4-3) halt a frustrating three-game losing streak and deal the AFC West-leading Broncos (6-1) their first defeat. Rookie Lardarius Webb added a 95-yard kick return touchdown in the victory. The Baltimore defense limited Denver to 200 total yards -- including a mere 134 net yards through the air, with Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton managing only 152 yards on 23-of-37 passing. He was also sacked twice.

Final Score: Chicago 30, Cleveland 6
Chicago, IL (My Sportsbook) - Matt Forte ran for 90 yards and two touchdowns, and the Chicago Bears took advantage of five Browns turnovers to defeat Cleveland, 30-6, at Soldier Field.

Jay Cutler added 225 yards through the air on 17- of-30 passing with an interception. Chicago's defense held the Browns to 191 total yards and only one touchdown.

Final Score: Dallas 38, Seattle 17
Arlington, TX (My Sportsbook) - Tony Romo threw three touchdowns and 10 different Cowboys had at least one catch, as Dallas rolled to a 38-17 victory over the Seahawks.

Miles Austin led a balanced receiving corps with five catches for 61 yards and a score, while Sam Hurd and Roy Williams each caught a TD. Marion Barber scored on the ground, and Patrick Crayton returned a punt for a score for the second consecutive week. Matt Hasselbeck threw touchdown passes to Deion Branch and Justin Griffith, but had little help elsewhere for Seattle (2-5), which was coming off a bye.
Final Score: St. Louis 17, Detroit 10
Detroit, MI (My Sportsbook) - Steven Jackson rushed for 149 yards on 22 carries and scored the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter, as the St. Louis Rams snapped a franchise-record 17-game skid with a 17-10 victory over the Detroit Lions.

Final Score: Indianapolis 18, San Francisco 14
Indianapolis, IN (My Sportsbook) - Peyton Manning threw for 347 yards, but it was Joseph Addai who threw the game-winning TD pass to Reggie Wayne in the fourth quarter, as the Indianapolis Colts survived a tough test from the San Francisco 49ers and kept their undefeated season intact with an 18-14 victory. Manning was not at his sharpest despite logging his sixth 300- yard passing game of the season, connecting on 31-of-48 throws and becoming only the fourth player in NFL history to reach 4,000 completions. He was also sacked three times. Matt Stover made four field goals for the Colts (7-0), who extended their franchise-record regular- season win streak to 16 games. Alex Smith completed 19-of-32 passes for 198 yards with one score and an interception for the 49ers (3-4), who lost their third straight.

Final Score: Miami 30, NY Jets 25
East Rutherford, NJ (My Sportsbook) - Ted Ginn returned a pair of kickoffs for touchdowns in a wild third quarter and the Miami defense held off a late Jets charge, as the Dolphins pulled out a 30-25 victory over New York at the Meadowlands. Ginn scored on kickoff returns of 100 and 101 yards, and Jason Taylor returned a fumble for a touchdown in a third quarter that produced a combined 37 points. Chad Henne added a scoring pass for the Dolphins (3-4), who bounced back from a devastating loss to New Orleans last week to earn a season sweep of the Jets and improve to 3-0 within the AFC East. Mark Sanchez threw for 265 yards with a pair of touchdowns for the Jets (4-4), whose last possession ended deep in Miami territory with just over a minute to play. New York has lost four of its last five after starting the season with three consecutive wins.

Philadelphia, PA (My Sportsbook) - Donovan McNabb threw for 240 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-23 efficiency to lead the Philadelphia Eagles in a 40-17 rout of the New York Giants.

The Chargers, whose 13 straight wins over the Raiders is the longest active streak by one team over another, pulled off their sixth consecutive home-and-home sweep over the Raiders. Oakland is 0-7 in San Diego since last winning there in 2002. Rivers, who moved to 8-0 against the Raiders, finished 16-of-25 with an interception for the Chargers (4-3), who have won two in a row following a two-game slide.

Final Score: Tennessee 30, Jacksonville 13
Nashville, TN (My Sportsbook) - Chris Johnson broke loose for a Titans franchise record 228 yards and a pair of long touchdown runs as previously- winless Tennessee took a 30-13 decision over Jacksonville. Johnson's day eclipsed the previous high for rushing yards in one game (216), last accomplished by Eddie George on August 31, 1997 against Oakland. In his first start of the year, Vince Young was a serviceable 15-of-18 for 125 yards and a TD for the Titans (1-6), who had endured their worst start to a season since relocating from Houston and their worst season-opening losing string since the 1984 Oilers lost 10 straight and finished 3-13. Young also rushed for 30 yards on 12 carries and Nate Washington added a touchdown catch for Tennessee, which was coming off its bye week and recovered from a 59-0 shellacking at New England on October 18. With the victory as well as a St. Louis win earlier Sunday, the idle Tampa Bay Buccaneers remain the lone winless team in the NFL. Maurice Jones-Drew erupted for a career-best 177 yards and two scores on eight carries for the Jaguars (3-4), who have dropped two of three. David Garrard was ineffective at 14-of-27 passing for 139 yards and two interceptions in the setback.
Final Score: Carolina 34, Arizona 21
Glendale, AZ (My Sportsbook) - Jake Delhomme played mistake-free football while Kurt Warner turned the ball over six times, as Carolina's duo of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart ran all over Arizona in a much-needed 34-21 victory for the Panthers. Williams and Stewart ran for 158 and 87 yards, respectively, with the latter scoring twice for the Panthers (3-4), who lost to Buffalo at home last week. Delhomme managed the game with 90 yards and a touchdown on 7-of-14 throws before leaving the game with a chest injury in the second half. Steve Smith caught his first TD of the season, and Julius Peppers highlighted Carolina's defensive effort with an interception return for a score and a forced fumble. Kurt Warner tied a career-high with five interceptions and also lost a fumble, matching Delhomme's six-turnover effort in the divisional playoff game last year. Warner also tossed a pair of TDs and ended with 242 yards on 27-of-46 throws for Arizona (4-3), which was coming off its third straight win, an emphatic 24-17 road victory over the Giants.
Final Score: Minnesota 38, Green Bay 26
Green Bay, WI (My Sportsbook) - Brett Favre was greeted by a chorus of boos in his first return to Lambeau Field as a visiting player, but threw four touchdown passes and led the Vikings to a 38-26 victory against the Packers. Favre, who spent a storied 16-year tenure in Green Bay, completed 17-of-28 passes for 244 yards with his four TD passes going to four different receivers. It's the 21st time Favre has thrown four or more touchdowns in a game, tying him with Dan Marino for the most such contests in NFL history. Adrian Peterson rushed for 97 yards and a score on 25 carries for Minnesota (7-1), which was coming off its first loss of the season last week, a 27-17 defeat at Pittsburgh. Minnesota is off to its best start since the 2000 season and completed a season sweep of rival Green Bay for the first time since 2005. The Vikings won a Week 4 Monday night matchup at the Metrodome against Green Bay, 30-23, Favre's first game playing against his old team. Aaron Rodgers was 26-of-41 for 287 yards, threw three touchdowns and rushed five times for 52 yards in the loss. Favre's heir was sacked six times and took a beating from the Vikings' defense, which set the tone early by limiting the Packers to 47 yards of offense in the first half before wearing down later in the game. Greg Jennings recorded eight receptions for 88 yards and touchdown in a sobering loss for Green Bay (4-3), which had won its last two games following the initial defeat to Minnesota on October 5.
