FOXBORO, Mass. -- The New England Patriots got another victory -- but quite a scare -- as they extended their NFL record for consecutive wins.\nThey stopped a late Seattle comeback to beat the Seahawks 30-20 Sunday, running their streak to 20 wins, including playoffs. They also tied the league record with their 17th consecutive regular-season victory.\nFor a while, though, the streak appeared in jeopardy. The Seahawks, trailing 23-17, had a first down at the New England 13 with about four minutes left. But an intentional grounding penalty against Matt Hasselbeck forced Seattle (3-2) to settle for Josh Brown's fourth field goal, a 31-yarder with 3:01 to go.
Eagles 30, Panthers 8\nPHILADELPHIA -- Overmatched and undermanned, the Panthers had no chance against the Eagles in a rematch of last season's NFC championship game .\nTerrell Owens had all his 123 yards receiving in the first half and Lito Sheppard returned an interception 64 yards for a score for the undefeated Eagles (5-0).\nInjury-depleted Carolina fell to 1-4. Only eight teams have overcome a 1-4 start to make the playoffs.\nDonovan McNabb, off to the best start of his six-year career, didn't have a touchdown pass for the first time this season. But he completed passes of 53 and 51 yards to Owens that led to 10 points. McNabb finished 14-of-26 for 209 yards and one interception. Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme threw four interceptions.
Jets 22, 49ers 14\nEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Chad Pennington led the Jets on a second-half comeback from a 14-3 halftime deficit and rookie linebacker Jonathan Vilma sealed the victory by intercepting Tim Rattay's poorly thrown pass with 1:44 to go.\nNew York made franchise history, improving to 5-0 for the first time. Curtis Martin finished with 111 yards on 25 carries and two touchdowns, passing Marcus Allen for eighth place on the NFL career rushing list. Martin now has 12,282 career yards.\nPennington went 20-of-30 for 222 yards, including 11-of-14 for 117 yards in the second half.
Packers 38, Lions 10\nDETROIT -- Brett Favre threw two touchdown passes and moved past Fran Tarkenton into fourth place on the NFL career list with 47,106 yards passing.\nGreen Bay (2-4) snapped its first four-game losing streak in 13 years. Detroit (3-2) fell to 1-2 at home.\nThe game was close until Darren Sharper intercepted a pass early in the third quarter and returned it 36 yards -- with a juke move and a hurdle into the end zone -- to give the Packers a 24-10 lead.\nBroncos 31, Raiders 3\nOAKLAND, Calif. -- Jake Plummer and Reuben Droughns did little wrong while turning the Broncos' biggest rivalry into a rout. Kerry Collins and Oakland's offense did almost nothing right -- and the furious Raider Nation let them know it.\nPlummer passed for 190 yards and three touchdowns, Droughns rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown, and the Broncos took a two-game lead in the AFC West over San Diego.
Steelers 24, Cowboys 20\nDALLAS -- Rookie Ben Roethlisberger completed 21 of 25 passes and threw for two touchdowns, completing 11 straight throws on Pittsburgh's last two scoring drives for a comeback win.\nRoethlisberger is the first rookie quarterback to go 4-0 since Phil Simms of the 1979 New York Giants. He also became the first Pittsburgh quarterback to beat Dallas (2-3) since Bradshaw in 1982.\nA Dallas fumble and a short touchdown from a Steelers old-timer provided Pittsburgh (5-1) with the winning points. After the Cowboys' Vinny Testaverde fumbled late in the fourth quarter, the Steelers drove to the 2. Jerome Bettis rumbled in for the final touchdown in the last minute.
Jaguars 22, Chiefs 16\nJACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Byron Leftwich threw two touchdown passes, including a 14-yarder to Cortez Hankton with 45 seconds to play to lift the Jaguars.\nLeftwich also ran for a score as the Jaguars (4-2) snapped a two-game losing streak and won in the final minute for the fourth time this season.\nKansas City (1-4) took a 16-14 lead on an amazing touchdown pass from Trent Green to Priest Holmes with about 5 minutes remaining. With defensive linemen Rob Meier and Greg Favors draped around his legs, Green flipped a pass to Holmes just before his knees hit the ground.
Browns 34, Bengals 17\nCLEVELAND -- Jeff Garcia threw four touchdown passes -- one a 99-yarder to Andre' Davis to tie an NFL record -- and the Browns overcame their sloppiness for a win over the inept Bengals.\nWilliam Green rushed for 115 yards and Lee Suggs caught a 59-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter from Garcia as the Browns (3-3) moved to 3-0 at home for the first time since 1973. The Bengals fell to 1-4.\nGarcia, called "skittish" by Browns coach Butch Davis after a loss in Pittsburgh last week, overcame two interceptions in the first half and finished 16-of-23 for 310 yards in his eighth career four-touchdown game.
Bills 20, Dolphins 13\nORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Takeo Spikes returned an interception 11 yards for a touchdown, helping spark Buffalo's victory in a game between the NFL's last two winless teams.\nAaron Schobel had two and a half sacks and Ron Edwards added two, leading a strong defensive effort in which the Bills (1-4) limited Miami (0-6) to just 212 yards net offense.\nWillis McGahee had a strong debut in his first career start. The Bills' first-round pick in the 2003 draft had 111 yards rushing and put away the game with a 31-yard run that allowed the Bills to run out the clock.
Redskins 13, Bears 10\nCHICAGO -- Clinton Portis had his best day since changing teams, and Washington throttled Chicago's inept offense.\nEnding a four-game losing streak, the Redskins (2-4) sacked struggling Bears quarterback Jonathan Quinn three times in the final three minutes before Sean Taylor's closing-seconds interception sealed the victory.\nThe Bears (1-4) managed only 160 yards total offense and crossed midfield just three times.
