Titans improve to 8-0 with OT win

The Tennessee Titans remained perfect -- even if they needed a little extra time to stay that way.

Rob Bironas got a second chance at redemption in overtime, kicking a 41-yard field goal with 9:36 to go that kept the Titans the NFL's last unbeaten team with a 19-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Bironas had a chance to win in regulation, but banged a 47-yarder off the upright.

The Titans (8-0) won the toss and drove 55 yards in 10 plays to give Bironas another chance, helping Tennessee match a franchise record with its 11th straight regular-season victory.

The Packers (4-4) had tied it at 16-16 on Mason Crosby's third field goal, a 38-yarder, with 5:30 left.

Bears 27, Lions 23

Rex Grossman came off the bench to replace injured quarterback Kyle Orton and scored the go-ahead touchdown with 5:36 left, helping the Bears rally from a 10-point deficit for a victory over the winless Lions.

Matt Forte had 126 yards rushing for the Bears (5-3), who lost Orton to a right ankle injury and safety Mike Brown to a calf problem late in the first half.

Dan Orlovsky was 28-of-47 for 292 yards and two touchdowns but threw two interceptions for the Lions (0-8), who signed Daunte Culpepper later in the day.

Bucs 30, Chiefs 27, OT

Vikings 28, Texans 21

The Vikings (4-4) forced three turnovers and got three touchdown passes from Gus Frerotte.

The Texans (3-5) missed their chance to win four straight games for the first time in the franchise's six-year history.

Giants 35, Cowboys 14

Eli Manning threw three touchdown passes, Brandon Jacobs rushed for 117 yards and a score and the Giants defense took advantage of Tony Romo's absence to intercept three passes.

The win was the fifth straight at home for the Giants (7-1) and it allowed the Super Bowl champions to open a three-game lead over the defending NFC East champion Cowboys (5-4) in the division.

The loss was the third in four games for Dallas, which fell into last place in the division.

Dolphins 26, Broncos 17

The Dolphins (4-4) bottled up Denver's ground game and intercepted Jay Cutler three times in a win over the befuddled Broncos.

Denver (4-4) lost for the fourth time in five games.

Falcons 24, Raiders 0

Donovan McNabb rebounded from early problems to complete 28 of 43 passes for 349 yards and two touchdowns, one to tackle Todd Herremans, and rally the Eagles (5-3).

Brent Celek, playing because L.J. Smith was out with a concussion, set an Eagles record for receiving yards by a tight end in a regular-season game with 131 on six receptions.

The Seahawks (2-6) punted 10 consecutive times -- seven after three-and-outs -- following a team-record 90-yard touchdown pass on their first play.

Colts 18, Patriots 15

Adam Vinatieri showed New England he's still the NFL's best clutch kicker.

The Patriots' career scoring leader, who booted winning field goals in two of their Super Bowl victories and then let go as a free agent, kicked a 52-yarder with 8:05 left for Indianapolis (4-4).

With the Patriots (5-3) facing third-and-2 at the Colts 32 with 4:45 left, BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 1 yard, and tight end David Thomas drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the play. That put the Pats in third-and-16 from the Colts 45, and all they could muster was 1 yard before Bob Sanders picked off Matt Cassel's errant fourth-down throw to seal it.

Peyton Manning threw for 254 yards and two touchdowns for the Colts.
