Final Score: Indianapolis 49, Houston 14
Indianapolis, IN (My Sportsbook) - Peyton Manning continued his MVP-type season by throwing for 320 yards and five touchdowns, as the Indianapolis Colts rolled to a 49-14 rout of the Houston Texans at the RCA Dome. Manning, last year's co-MVP, finished 18-of-27 passing with a pair of interceptions. He has thrown five TD passes three times this season, twice in the last three weeks, and in nine games already has 31 touchdowns -- two more than all of last year -- with just six picks. The Colts (6-3), who also had a pair of defensive touchdowns, have won two in a row to remain tied with Jacksonville atop the AFC South.

Shaun Alexander racked up 176 yards on 22 carries for the Seahawks (5-4), who saw a two-game win streak come to an end. However, the star running back, who went over the 1,000-yard mark for the season, had a costly fumble inside the Rams' 15-yard line with Seattle trailing 20-12 with 12 minutes to go. Matt Hasselbeck finished just 15-of-36 for 172 yards and was intercepted once as the Seahawks failed to reach the end zone.
Final Score: Pittsburgh 24, Cleveland 10

Rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 10-of-16 passes for 134 yards with an interception for the Steelers (8-1), who have won seven straight games since a Week 2 loss in Baltimore. That run also has corresponded with the impressive climb of Roethlisberger, who set an NFL record with seven straight victories for a quarterback to begin his career. Before being pulled in the fourth quarter, Jeff Garcia was 7-of-16 for 110 yards and an interception for the Browns (3-6), who suffered their third straight defeat.
Final Score: Jacksonville 23, Detroit 17 (OT)
Jacksonville, FL (My Sportsbook) - David Garrard hooked up with Jimmy Smith for a 36-yard touchdown pass 5:28 into overtime to lift Jacksonville over Detroit, 23-17, in a wild affair at Alltel Stadium.

East Rutherford, NJ (My Sportsbook) - Matt Stover's 42-yard field goal 7:25 into overtime lifted the Baltimore Ravens to a 20-17 comeback win over the New York Jets at the Meadowlands. Kyle Boller hooked up with rookie Clarence Moore for two touchdowns to help the Ravens (6-3) overcome a 14-0 deficit on the way to their fourth win in five games. Boller finished 19-of-33 for 213 yards, but it was safety Ed Reed who completely changed the momentum of the game. Reed's interception in the end zone on a halfback pass by LaMont Jordan resulted in a 14-point swing, and the Quincy Carter-led New York offense never really recovered until it was too late. Carter, making his first start in place of the injured Chad Pennington, completed 13-of-22 passes for 175 yards. Curtis Martin rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries for the Jets (6-3), losers of two in a row.

Defensive lineman Michael Haynes returned an interception for a touchdown and R.W. McQuarters scored on a punt return for the Bears (4-5), who have won all three of rookie quarterback Craig Krenzel's starts. Krenzel was 10-of-28 for 116 yards with two interceptions in the win.

Palmer was 24-of-39 for 217 yards in the win, Cincinnati's third in four games. He was intercepted twice, but it didn't matter. The Bengals (4-5) shutout Washington's offense until the last six minutes of the game and held the Redskins to just 268 total yards -- with most of that coming late. Washington's Patrick Ramsey took over for an ineffective Mark Brunell in the loss, completing 18 of his 37 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown. He was picked off twice.

Josh McCown managed only 90 yards on 12-of-24 passing as Arizona emerged victorious despite only 178 total yards of offense.

New England has won 23 of its last 24 overall and the last three meetings versus the Bills. New England has won 16 consecutive games at home and will travel to Arrowhead Stadium next Monday night for an AFC showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.
