Jackson helps Eagles to head of division with win over Giants

DeSean Jackson danced his way into the record books, carrying the Philadelphia Eagles to the top of their division along the way.

Jackson scored on 72-yard punt return and a 60-yard pass from Donovan McNabb, sparking the Eagles to their most points this season in a 45-38 shootout victory Sunday night over the New York Giants.

The second-year wide receiver missed last week with a concussion, but was in sensational form in boosting Philadelphia (9-4) into the NFC East lead.

Jackson has eight touchdowns of 50-plus yards this year, tying the NFL mark.

New York (7-6) also had its share of big plays, including TD passes of 68 and 61 yards by Eli Manning.

Ray Rice ran for a career-high 166 yards and a touchdown, and Baltimore enhanced its playoff hopes with a rout of Detroit.

New England shook off a poor first half, went ahead with 1:06 left in the third quarter on Tom Brady's 5-yard touchdown pass to Benjamin Watson and beat Carolina.

Rian Lindell kicked three field goals, and Buffalo (5-8) intercepted Matt Cassel four times to beat struggling Kansas City.

Thomas Jones ran for 99 yards and two touchdowns, Jay Feely kicked four field goals, and the New York Jets intercepted rookie Josh Freeman three times while holding Tampa Bay to 135 yards.
