nine penal- ties for 79 yards They had a punt return for a TD wiped out by a roughness penalty dropped passes a botched extra point and a rookie who never looked for a ball thrown his way A widejpen Bo Scaife was too busy running upfield and apparently forgot the ball might be thrown to him Their best effort right now is not good enough for us not only to win but more specifically to overcome our own mistakes" Titans coach Jeff Fisher said we do that we are going to be in this Patriots 21 Bills 16 FOXBOROUGH Mass Tedy Bruschi raised his arms early in the game and the fans cheered Then another returning star won it for the Patriots with two fourth-quarter touchdowns Corey Dillon who struggled most of the season before missing his previous game with an ankle injury came on to score on two 1-yard runs and New England came back for a win over the Buffalo Bills Despite return 812 months after having a mild stroke the defense struggled for much of the game The inside linebacker and tional leader made several good plays early then fit right in with a defense that was as mediocre as been all season Bears 19 Lions 13 DETROIT The Detroit Lions were bailed out after one ill-advised Jeff Garcia play in the fourth quarter then the Chicago Bears burned them on another in overtime Garcia's across-the-body pass was picked off by Charles Tillman and returned 22 yards for a touchdown with 843 left in overtime lifting Chicago atop the NFC North with a win over Detroit Giants 36 Redskins EAST RUTHERFORD The Giants paid tribute to late owner Wellington Mara in the best possible way blowing out an archrival to remain on top of their division Tiki Barber ran for a career-high 206 yards and a touchdown and the Giants (5-2) held Washington (4-3) to 34 yards from scrimmage in the first hall Chargers 28 Chiefs 20 SAN DIEGO Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes to Antonio Gates and finished with 324 yank passing to lift the Chargers (4-4) LaDainian Tomlinson slowed again on the ground threw his third TD pass of the season a 17-yarder to Eric Parker Brees completed 25 of 43 passes with TD throws of 20 and 35 yards to Gates Gates had 10 catches for 145 yards both career highs and the three TD catches tied his career best Ibmlinson gained 69 yards on 17 carries a week after being held to a career low 7 yards in a loss at Philadelphia Broncos 49 Eagles 21 DENVER Little-known receiver Todd Devoe caught a 43-yard touchdown pass nan Jake Plummer and Tatum Bell ran for 67- and 6-yard touchdowns in the fourth quarter to help the Broncos hold off then run away from the Eagles Plummer who finished with a seasoo-high 309 yards threw three of his four touchdown passes over the first 23 minutes to give Denver a 260 lad but the Broncos (6-2) allowed Philly (4-3) within seven points and 24 yards of the tying score early in the fourth period Dolphins 21 Saints 6 BATON ROUGE La Gus Frerotte had a touchdown pass to Chris Chambers and the fense recorded a safety spoiling the return to Louisiana Miami allowed two field goals and kept Saints quar- terback Aaron Brooks off-balance throughout in snapping a three-game losing streak Cowboys 34 Cardinals 13 IRVING Texas Rookie Marion Barber ran for 127 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries in his first start and new kicker Shaun Suisham made two short field goals With the victory the Cowboys (5-3) stayed on pace in the jammed NFC East They also had a good per-' formance going into their bye week which comes be-: fore they have to play three games in 11 days i Rams 24 Jaguars 21 ST LOUIS Steven Jackson had 179 yards on 25 1 carries and scored the winning touchdown Mike 37-yard interception return led to the go-ahead score and the Rams stuffed the Jaguars' attack most of the second half Fred Tkylor who was questionable with a bruised right ankle had 165 yards on 23 carries for the Jaguars (4-3) That included a 71-yard scoring run in the first quarter But the Jaguars were hurt by missed field goals by Josh Scobee from 44 and 48 yards i Bengal 21 Packers 14 CINCINNATI Brett Favre threw five interceptions and came up short on a game-ending drive preserving the victory The Packers (1-6) feel never out of it as long as Favre is throwing Favre drove them to the 28 where a fan ran out of the stands and plucked the ball from the passing hand after a play Panthers 38 Vikings 13 CHARLOTTE NC Stephen Davis ran for two touchdowns and Steve Smith terrorized defense for a franchise-record 201 yards and a score: Jake Delhomme was on-taroet for the Panthers (5-2X passing for 341 yards and three touchdowns while stretching Carolina's winning streak to four games Texans 19 Browns 16 HOUSTON The Texans are winless no more Kris Brown kicked a 40-yard field goal his fourth of the day with 245 remaining to give Houston (1-6) the come-from-behind win The winning kick was set up by a 63-yard kickoff return by rookie Jerome Mathis Houston's losing streak spanned back to a 22-14 loss to Cleveland in last season finale The loss was the third straight for Cleveland (2-5) Antonio Bryant had four receptions for 98 yards but Ire was called out of bounds on a touchdown catch in the fourth
