Cardinals block Cowboys' comeback in OT

Sean Morey blocked Mat McBriar's punt and Monty Beisel scooped up the ball and scored from 3 yards out as the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Dallas Cowboys 30-24 in overtime Sunday.

The stunning play brought a conclusion to a game loaded with confusion, controversy and clutch performances.

Dallas scored 10 points in the final 2 minutes of regulation, sending the game into overtime when Nick Folk's 52-yard field goal barely cleared the crossbar as the fourth quarter ended.

Folk was in field-goal range only because a 5-yard offside penalty was called against injured Arizona linebacker Travis LaBoy as he tried to limp off the field.

Arizona (4-2) scored 17 consecutive points, including a pair of touchdown passes by Kurt Warner, to go up 24-14 on Neil Rackers' 40-yard field goal with 3:17 left.

Dallas dropped to 4-2.

Eagles 40, 49ers 26

Donovan McNabb passed for 280 yards and two touchdowns without his top two receivers and his best running back, and the Eagles' aggressive defenders forced three turnovers during a 23-point fourth quarter.

Donald Strickland returned a blocked field goal 41 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the first half for the 49ers (2-4), who went ahead 26-17 in the third quarter.

Packers 27, Seahawks 17

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay's ailing quarterback, ran for a touchdown early, then threw two scoring passes in the second half against Seattle (1-4).

Rodgers, again starting despite a sprained throwing shoulder, was 21-for-30 with 208 yards as Green Bay (3-3) won for the 10th time in 13 road games.

Jaguars 24, Broncos 17

Jaguars quarterback David Garrard completed 25 of 34 passes for 276 yards, one TD and no interceptions and Maurice Jones-Drew rumbled for 125 yards and two TDs on 22 carries.

The Jaguars (3-3) sent the Broncos (4-2) to their first home loss since last Oct. 29 against Green Bay.

Texans 29, Dolphins 28

Matt Schaub threw interceptions on Houston's first two possessions, but ran for a 3-yard touchdown with 3 seconds left.

Houston improved to 1-4, while the Dolphins fell to 2-3.

Falcons 22, Bears 20

Jason Elam made the most of his second chance, kicking a 48-yard field goal on the final play.

Elam appeared to be the goat after hooking a 33-yard attempt wide left with less than 3 minutes left. The Bears took advantage of Elam's first miss in 31 attempts, quickly driving downfield and going ahead for the first time when Kyle Orton hit Rashied Davis on a 17-yard touchdown with 11 seconds remaining. Robbie Gould booted through the extra point that gave Chicago a 20-19 lead.

Gould pooched the ensuing kickoff, and Harry Douglas managed a 10-yard return to the Atlanta 44. Rookie Matt Ryan threw a 26-yard pass to Michael Jenkins along the left sideline with 1 second left. After a short delay to allow officials to confirm the replay that Jenkins' catch was good, Elam made the winning kick.

Vikings 12, Lions 10

A pass interference penalty on Leigh Bodden put Minnesota (3-3) in position for a 26-yard field goal by Ryan Longwell with 9 seconds to go.

Making the first start of his career, Dan Orlovsky threw for 150 yards and a touchdown for Detroit (0-5). Adrian Peterson rushed for 111 yards for the Vikings, but lost two fumbles.

Buccaneers 27, Panthers 3

Jeff Garcia, starting for the first time since the season opener because Brian Griese is injured, threw for 173 yards and a touchdown. Warrick Dunn had his most productive day running the ball since rejoining the Bucs (4-2) with 115 yards on 22 carries.

Carolina fell to 4-2.

Colts 31, Ravens 3

Peyton Manning threw two touchdown passes to Marvin Harrison, a third to Reggie Wayne, and the Colts' offense finally got itself righted against the Ravens' top-ranked defense.

Manning passed for 271 yards and three touchdowns for the Colts (3-2). Baltimore dropped to 2-3.

Saints 34, Raiders 3

Drew Brees passed for 320 yards and three touchdowns as the Saints (3-3) breezed past Oakland (1-4).

Oakland's Tom Cable spent his NFL head coaching debut watching in frustration as JaMarcus Russell completed only 13 of 35 passes for 159 yards, while throwing an interception and fumbling.

Jets 26, Bengals 14

Thomas Jones ran for two touchdowns and caught a third touchdown for the Jets (3-2).

Ryan Fitzpatrick was 20-of-33 for 152 yards as Cincinnati dropped to 0-6 for the third time since 2000.

Chargers 30, Patriots 10

Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes and San Diego's defense stuffed quarterback Matt Cassel on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line to highlight a 30-10 win over the Patriots.

It was a measure of payback against a team that had beaten the Chargers three straight times, including in the playoffs the last two seasons.
