FOXBORO, Mass. -- Rodney Harrison broke up a fourth-down pass by Chad Pennington with 2:14 remaining, and the Patriots extended their NFL-record victory streak to 21 games, including playoffs.\nThe Patriots also set the regular-season mark of 18 straight wins, surpassing the 17 wins by the 1933-34 Chicago Bears. They moved to 6-0 for the first time in franchise history while handing the Jets (5-1) their first loss this season.\nIt was the first match-up of unbeatens with five or more wins since 1973. The game turned into a defensive struggle in the second half.\nNew England led 13-7 at halftime and then couldn't muster much on offense. Neither could the Jets until late in the fourth quarter. Facing fourth-and-1 from their 23, they went for it with 6:55 remaining. Pennington made the first down on a 2-yard sneak and the Jets marched down to the Patriots 27. On fourth down, Pennington tried to throw to Wayne Chrebet, but Harrison was there to make the play.
Dolphins 31, Rams 14\nMIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins finally gave their fans reason to celebrate, combining a polished offensive performance with solid defense for their first victory this season, 31-14 over the St. Louis Rams.\nAfter enduring the worst start in their 39-year history, the Dolphins took out their frustration on the Rams, who had at least five players injured Sunday. Much-maligned quarterback Jay Fiedler threw for two touchdowns, embattled coach Dave Wannstedt made some risky calls that paid off and Miami held the Rams' explosive offense in check.\nThe Dolphins, the last NFL team to win this season, improved to 1-6. St. Louis (4-3) had won three in a row.
Eagles 34, Browns 31, OT\nCLEVELAND -- David Akers kicked a 50-yard field goal in overtime and Donovan McNabb matched a career high with four touchdown passes -- two to Terrell Owens -- as the Eagles remained unbeaten. Akers' kick barely cleared the crossbar in front of Cleveland's Dawg Pound with 5:02 remaining in overtime as the Eagles (6-0) continued their best start since 1981.\nThey survived their stiffest test by far this season from the Browns (3-4), who made as many big plays as the Eagles.\nMcNabb finished 28-of-43 for 376 yards, but set up Akers' game-winner with a 28-yard run.\nOwens, whose feud with Browns quarterback Jeff Garcia -- his former San Francisco teammate -- dominated the pregame hype, had four catches for 109 yards. Garcia went 21-for-36 with 236 yards and tied the game at 31 with 30 seconds to go in regulation on a 4-yard run after a questionable roughing call against Eagles safety Brian Dawkins. He was flagged on a fourth-and-7 play despite making minimal contact with Garcia.\nPackers 41, Cowboys 20\nGREEN BAY, Wis. -- With coach-general manager Mike Sherman directing the offense for the second straight game, the Packers scored on their first seven possessions. The Packers (3-4) snapped a three-game losing streak at Lambeau Field and Brett Favre beat the Cowboys (2-4) for just the second time in 10 tries.\nAhman Green ended a month-long funk by rushing for 163 yards and two scores, including a 90-yarder in the third quarter. He became the second player in NFL history with two career touchdown runs of at least 90 yards, joining Bo Jackson, who did it in 1987.
Cardinals 25, Seahawks 17\nTEMPE, Ariz. -- Emmitt Smith ran his way to another NFL record and Neil Rackers booted himself into a share of one.\nSmith sealed Arizona's victory with a 23-yard scoring run, breaking Walter Payton's record with 78 100-yard rushing games. Rackers was good from 55, 55 and 50 yards to tie Morten Andersen's record for most field goals of at least 50 yards in a game. Gerald Hayes blocked a Seattle punt for a safety for the decisive points.\nMatt Hasselbeck was just 14-of-41 and was intercepted four times and the Seahawks (3-3) lost their third in a row, blowing a chance to take sole possession of first place in the NFC West.
Saints 31, Raiders 26\nOAKLAND, Calif. -- Deuce McAllister ran for two short touchdowns, Aaron Brooks threw for 282 yards and a touchdown, and New Orleans ended a three-game losing streak.\nJoe Horn had nine receptions for 123 yards, and Jerome Pathon added six catches as the Saints (3-4) used a strong second half to send the Raiders to their fourth straight defeat.\nJohn Carney kicked a 41-yard field goal with 4:31 left, then Colby Bockwoldt scooped up Carlos Francis' fumble on the ensuing kickoff and ran it 6 yards for another Saints score.
Ravens 20, Bills 6\nBALTIMORE -- High-stepping Deion Sanders made sure the Ravens wouldn't lament the absence of Jamal Lewis.\nSanders returned an interception 48 yards for a touchdown and also picked off a pass in the end zone, and Chad Williams went 94 yards with another interception as the Ravens (4-2) sputtered offensively but took advantage of five turnovers by the punchless Bills (1-5).
Chiefs 56, Falcons 10\nKANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Priest Holmes sprained his ankle early in the second half, so Derrick Blaylock scored the other half of Kansas City's NFL-record eight touchdowns rushing.\nShredding what had been the NFL's leading rushing defense, Holmes and Blaylock each scored four times on the ground. Holmes scored on runs of 1, 2, 2 and 15 yards during a 35-0 first-half blitz. He was stopped just a couple of feet short of what would have been his fifth touchdown rushing for the Chiefs (2-4).\nHolmes, who set the NFL record last year with 27 touchdowns rushing, then left with a mild ankle sprain.
Vikings 20, Titans 3\nMINNEAPOLIS -- With the injured Randy Moss relegated to two snaps of decoy duty, Daunte Culpepper and the Vikings shifted gears and grind out a win.\nCulpepper completed 24 of 30 mostly low-risk passes, and an aggressive Vikings (5-1) defense knocked quarterback Steve McNair out of the game for the Titans (2-5) when he reinjured his chest.
Lions 28, Giants 13\nEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- After going three years without winning on the road, the Lions seem unbeatable away from the Motor City.\nJoey Harrington threw two touchdown passes and Chris Cash made a diving interception in the end zone late in the first half to lead the Lions (4-2), who won their third straight away game.,\nKevin Jones scored on a 2-yard run and Artose Pinner iced the game with an 8-yard touchdown run as the Lions snapped a four-game winning streak for the Giants (4-2).
Chargers 17, Panthers 6\nCHARLOTTE, N.C. -- LaDainian Tomlinson scored on a 8-yard run and Jesse Chatman added a 5-yard scoring run with 1:42 to play to lift San Diego (4-3), which equaled its win total from last season.\nIt was a disheartening loss for Carolina (1-5). The defending NFC champions have lost four straight and had pointed to this game as one that could turn around the season. Instead, the Panthers let it slip away with an inefficient offense and very questionable play selection late in the game.
Bucs 19, Bears 7\nTAMPA, Fla. -- Michael Pittman rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown, sparking the Bucs to victory in a match-up of teams desperately needing to jump-start disappointing seasons.\nBrian Griese threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Michael Clayton, and Martin Gramatica kicked a pair of 22-yard field goals for Tampa Bay (2-5), which rushed for a season-high 138 yards. Pittman became the fourth back in six games to top the century mark against the Bears (1-5).\nChicago continued to struggle with Jonathan Quinn at quarterback for the injured Rex Grossman. Craig Krenzel replaced Quinn after the Bears fell behind 10-0, and the rookie completed 9 of 19 passes for 69 yards, but threw an interception that set up Pittman's 3-yard touchdown run.
