Ravens allow 41, still triumph

Ravens 44, Seahawks 41\nThe stingy Baltimore Ravens allowed 41 points to Seattle -- and won.\nDown by 17 points in the fourth quarter, the host Ravens stormed back behind Anthony Wright and a surprisingly struggling defense. Matt Stover kicked a 42-yard field goal with 6:32 left in overtime, capping the amazing comeback Sunday that carried the Ravens past the Seattle Seahawks 44-41.\nWright, the third-string quarterback just three weeks ago, brought Baltimore (6-5) back with the finest performance of his career. He went 20-for-37 for 319 yards and a personal-best four touchdowns -- all to Marcus Robinson.\nMatt Hasselbeck threw a career-high five touchdown passes for the Seahawks, going 23-for-41 for 333 yards. Darrell Jackson had seven receptions for 146 yards and two scores, and Bobby Engram also had two touchdown catches.\nBut the Seahawks (7-4) fell to 1-4 on the road.\nPatriots 23, Texans 20, OT\nHOUSTON -- Tom Brady's 4-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Graham forced overtime, where Adam Vinatieri had his 37-yard field goal attempt blocked. But Vinatieri kicked a 28-yard game-winner with 41 seconds left that extended New England's winning streak to seven games.\nThe Patriots (9-2) were ready to end overtime quickly when Mike Vrabel picked off Tony Banks' pass on the first play. But Ramon Walker gave the Texans a stay with the first field goal block in franchise history.\nBrady was 29-of-47 for 368 yards and two touchdowns, but his two interceptions and a lost fumble -- plus a 38-yard miss off the right upright by Vinatieri -- kept the Texans (4-7) in the game without quarterback David Carr (sprained right shoulder).\nThe Patriots outgained the Texans 472-169.\nRams 30, Cardinals 27, OT\nTEMPE, Ariz. -- Jeff Wilkins kicked a 49-yard field goal with 10:22 left in overtime to give the Rams (8-3) sole possession of first place in the NFC West. It was Wilkins' second winning kick in a row; his 31-yarder last week beat the Bears.\nJeff Blake threw two second-half touchdown passes to rookie sensation Anquan Boldin and the Cardinals (3-8) rallied from a 14-point third-quarter deficit to take a 27-24 lead.\nBut Marc Bulger, who threw four interceptions, led the Rams on a 16-play, 82-yard drive and Wilkins' 24-yard field goal tied it at 27 as regulation ended.\nBoldin caught six passes for 123 yards to fall a yard shy of tying the NFL record for the quickest to 1,000 yards receiving by a rookie. He has 66 catches for 999 yards.\nCowboys 24, Panthers 20\nIRVING, Texas -- Quincy Carter threw two touchdown passes to revive Dallas' sputtering offense in a battle for the best record in the NFC.\nThe Panthers were within 6 yards of tying the game with about five minutes left, then ended up settling for a 34-yard field goal in hopes of getting the ball back and working their late magic. Carolina has won six times in the final two minutes or overtime.\nCarter, though, never gave them the chance. Dallas took over with 3:47 left and kept the ball until time ran out.\nDallas (8-3) remained tied with Philadelphia atop the NFC East, and there's a four-way tie with the Panthers and Rams for the conference's best record. \nChiefs 27, Raiders 24\nKANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Trent Green hit Marc Boerigter for 16 yards on fourth-and-14, then Morten Andersen booted a 35-yard field goal with four seconds left. The Chiefs (10-1), who took their first loss last week at Cincinnati, maintained their one-game lead for home-field advantage in the AFC and swept the Raiders (3-8) for the first time since 1998.\nPriest Holmes, whose 15 TDs rushing lead the NFL, had 91 yards rushing and 100 yards receiving. He went over the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the third straight year.\nJerry Rice, 41, caught a milestone touchdown pass from Rick Mirer. He beat Eric Warfield on a slant pattern for a 47-yard touchdown, reception No. 1,500 and TD catch No. 193, both NFL records.\nColts 17, Bills 14\nORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Edgerrin James carried Indianapolis' banged-up offense to a comeback victory. James scored twice, including a fourth-down plunge from inside the 1 with 1:38 remaining.\nJames, who also scored on a 14-yard run, had 28 carries for 108 yards, his fourth 100-yard performance of the season, and third since he missed three games with a back injury.\nThe Colts (9-2) won with leading receiver Marvin Harrison seeing limited action because of a hamstring injury.\nThe Bills (4-7) lost their fourth straight while squandering their best offensive performance in a month. Drew Bledsoe, on a 1-yard plunge, and Sammy Morris, on a 7-yard run, scored for the Bills, who had gone three games without a touchdown.\nTitans 38, Falcons 31\nATLANTA -- Billy Volek took over for Steve McNair and threw his second career touchdown pass, rallying the Titans from a 21-point deficit. McNair, the leading passer in the NFL, left in the second quarter when he hurt his right calf.\nVolek finished 9-for-15 for 117 yards. Before this season, he hadn't thrown a pass since 2001.\nJustin McCareins scored twice for the Titans (9-2), on a 58-yard punt return and a 14-yard TD pass from Volek.\nAtlanta (2-9) got an 86-yard touchdown on a screen pass to Warrick Dunn and Doug Johnson threw for 276 yards.\nPackers 20, 49ers 10\nGREEN BAY, Wis. -- Ahman Green ran through San Francisco's stingy defense for 154 yards on 27 carries. Green set franchise records with his fourth straight 100-yard game and his eighth of the season. He also surpassed John Brockington as the second-leading rusher in team history, trailing only Jim Taylor.\nOverall, Green Bay gained 243 yards on 48 carries.\nThe Packers (6-5) beat the Niners (5-6) for the 10th time in 11 tries when quarterbacked by Brett Favre, who threw two touchdown passes, including a 66-yarder to Javon Walker. That gave Favre at least 20 TDs for the 10th straight season, tying Dan Marino's NFL record.\nVikings 24, Lions 14\nMINNEAPOLIS -- Corey Chavous and Brian Williams each returned interceptions for touchdowns late in the game and the Vikings sent the Lions (3-8) to their 22nd straight road loss.\nThe Lions tied the Buffalo Bills (1983-86) for the second-longest road skid in NFL history. The Houston Oilers (1981-84) own this dubious league record with 23 consecutive losses away from home.\nMinnesota (7-4) snapped a four-game losing streak and remained one game ahead of Green Bay in the NFC North.\nAaron Elling's 24-yard field goal capped a 73-yard drive and put the Vikings up 10-7 with 2:45 left. Chavous picked off Joey Harrington's pass and returned it for a score 19 seconds later, and Williams grabbed his third interception and ran it back for a touchdown 20 seconds after that.\nEagles 33, Saints 20\nPHILADELPHIA -- Donovan McNabb completed 16 of 25 passes for 259 yards and one touchdown, leading the Eagles (8-3) to their sixth straight victory. David Akers added four field goals.\nDeuce McAllister had 184 yards rushing, including TD runs of 76 and 22 yards, and Aaron Brooks threw for 287 yards for the Saints (5-6), who had won four of five. McAllister has rushed for more than 100 yards in eight straight games and a league-best 16 times since the start of last season.\nBears 19, Broncos 10\nDENVER -- Kordell Stewart scored on a 1-yard run after replacing Chris Chandler, and Paul Edinger kicked four field goals.\nChicago (4-7) had 217 total yards coming off consecutive two-point losses, but benefited from good field position and two pass interference penalties against Denver's Lenny Walls.\nClinton Portis was the only one who managed to do much for Denver (6-5), finishing with 165 yards on 14 carries for his second straight 1,000-yard season.\nBengals 34, Chargers 27\nSAN DIEGO -- Jon Kitna matched his career high with four touchdown passes, three to Chad Johnson, and Corey Dillon ran for 108 yards on 18 carries to help the Bengals win for the fifth time in six games. It was Johnson who guaranteed Cincinnati's win over previously undefeated Kansas City a week earlier, a victory that proved the Bengals (6-5) were for real.\nSan Diego (2-9) has lost 16 of its last 20 games under coach Marty Schottenheimer and will miss the playoffs for the eighth straight season.\nSteelers 13, Browns 6\nCLEVELAND -- Pittsburgh capitalized on five Cleveland turnovers, Jerome Bettis ran for a season-high 93 yards and the Steelers (4-7) did not look like a tired team. Steelers coach Bill Cowher complained about playing a road game six days after a Monday night loss in San Francisco.\nCleveland (4-7) outgained Pittsburgh 303-168. But Chad Scott intercepted Kelly Holcomb's pass with 1:41 remaining at the Pittsburgh 39 to seal it. Cleveland didn't score a TD despite having the ball inside Pittsburgh's 20 four times.\nJets 13, Jaguars 10\nEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Chad Pennington threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Santana Moss with 26 seconds remaining, capping a 94-yard drive.\nJacksonville (2-9) took a 10-6 lead with 4:24 remaining when Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala scored on fourth-and-goal from inside the 1. Pennington and the Jets (4-7) could not do much offensively all game, but put together a winning drive helped by a controversial pass interference call on Fernando Bryant.\nFred Taylor had 32 carries for 119 yards, his 26th career 100-yard game.
