49ers 27, Saints 24 (OT)

New Orleans Colin Kaepernick completed a 51-yard pass on fourth down to sustain a tying drive, Ahmad Brooks sacked and stripped Drew Brees in overtime and Phil Dawson kicked a 35-yard field goal to cap San Francisco's stirring victory over New Orleans. The victory snapped a two-game skid for the Niners.

Broncos 41, Raiders 17

Oakland Peyton Manning threw five touchdown passes in less than 17 minutes and the Broncos handed the Raiders their 15th-straight loss.

Manning threw a pair of early interceptions that put Denver (7-2) in a hole against the NFL's only winless team.

That all changed with a short pass that C.J. Anderson turned into a spectacular 51-yard catch and run.

The touchdowns didn't stop until Manning's day was done after three quarters. Manning added two TD passes to Julius Thomas and two more to Emmanuel Sanders as the Broncos rebounded from last week's loss at New England by beating up on the Raiders (0-9).

Cardinals 31, Rams 14

Glendale, Ariz. The Cardinals put together another dominant fourth quarter, but the victory was dampened by an injury to quarterback Carson Palmer.

Palmer went down in the final period, then backup Drew Stanton and the Arizona defence rallied the Cardinals with three touchdowns over a span of 3:48.

At 8-1, the Cardinals have the best record in the NFL and their best after nine games since going 11-1 as the Chicago Cardinals in 1948.

Chiefs 17, Bills 13

Orchard Park, N.Y. Anthony Sherman recovered a fumble to set up Alex Smith's eight-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Jamaal Charles also scored on a 39-yard run as the Chiefs (6-3) scored twice in the span of four minutes 31 seconds to overcome a 13-3 deficit.

The Chiefs' defence then made a stand at its 15 by forcing Kyle Orton to throw four consecutive incompletions and turn the ball over on downs.

Kansas City improved to 6-1 since opening the season with two losses. Charles finished with 98 yards rushing. Smith went 17 of 29 for 177 yards.

Seahawks 38, Giants 17

Seattle Marshawn Lynch rushed for a season-high 140 yards and career-best four touchdowns. Russell Wilson threw two interceptions, the Seahawks committed three total turnovers and Eli Manning picked apart Seattle's secondary for the first half. It all didn't matter because of Lynch leading Seattle's run game.

Jets 20, Steelers 13

East Rutherford, N.J. Michael Vick threw two touchdown passes and the Jets forced four turnovers while shutting down Ben Roethlisberger to end an eight-game losing streak.

Cowboys 31, Jaguars 17

London Tony Romo returned after missing last week because of a back injury and helped the Cowboys snap a two-game losing streak by throwing three touchdown passes. Originally hurt two weeks ago, Romo started for Dallas (7-3) and completed 20 of 27 passes for 246 yards against the Jaguars (1-9) at Wembley Stadium. This was the last of three regular-season NFL games this year in the British capital.

Ravens 21, Titans 7

Baltimore Justin Forsett ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns to back a strong performance by the Baltimore defence. The Ravens (6-4) bottled up rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who went 16 for 27 for 179 yards and an interception in his first road start. He was sacked five times.

Falcons 27, Buccaneers 17

Tampa Matt Ryan threw for 219 yards and one touchdown, helping the Falcons stop a five-game losing streak that left the Bucs with a five-game skid of their own.

The Falcons (3-6) won for the first time since embarrassing their NFC South rivals 56-14 on Sept. 18, a game in which the Bucs (1-8) lost quarterback Josh McCown to a thumb injury.
