Warner tosses five TDs vs. Bears

One week after throwing five interceptions, Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner tied a career high by throwing five touchdown passes Sunday as the Cardinals defeated the Chicago Bears 41-21 in Chicago.

Larry Fitzgerald added 123 yards receiving and two touchdowns.

Warner was at his best after a miserable performance in a 34-21 loss to Carolina. He handled a team that had a chance to sign him as a backup four years ago, matching the record for TD passes by a Bears opponent without getting picked off.

Warner completed 23 of 32 for 261 yards and threw touchdown passes on the first four possessions. Neil Rackers added field goals on the next two, sending Arizona (5-3) to an easy win and Chicago (4-4) to a damaging loss.

Buccaneers 38, Packers 28

Rookie quarterback Josh Freeman passed for 205 yards and three touchdowns to lead the previously winless Bucs to victory. The Bucs (1-7) were the last team in the NFL to win this season.

In his first pro start, the 17th pick in the draft out of Kansas State completed 14 of 31 passes with one interception.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns for the Packers (4-4).

Saints 30, Panthers 20

The Saints moved to 8-0 for the first time in club history when Drew Brees overcame two early turnovers to pass for 330 yards and a touchdown.

DeAngelo Williams rushed for 149 yards and two TDs, and Carolina gained 182 on the ground.

Colts 20, Texans 17

Running back Joseph Addai scored the go-ahead touchdown with 7:11 left and Houston's Kris Brown missed a 42-yard field goal as time expired, keeping Indianapolis undefeated.

Indy is the fourth team in league history with 17 straight wins. New England has done it twice and Chicago did it in 1933-34. Jim Caldwell became the first rookie coach to go 8-0 since Potsy Clark in 1930.

Chargers 21, Giants 20

Philip Rivers capped an 80-yard drive with an 18-yard pass to Vincent Jackson with 21 seconds to play and the Chargers handed New York its fourth straight loss.

Rivers was 24 of 36 for 209 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Jackson, in helping San Diego (5-3) win its third straight.

The Giants are 5-4 heading into a bye week.

Titans 34, 49ers 27

Six plays after his 81-yard touchdown run was overturned, Chris Johnson took a pitch from Vince Young and ran 2 yards for a go-ahead score.

Stunned San Francisco (3-5) has lost four straight following a 3-1 start -- and the 49ers have little time to recover. The Bears come to town for a Thursday night game.

Patriots 27, Dolphins 17

Tom Brady and Randy Moss connected on two highlight-reel plays. Moss set up the Patriots' first touchdown with a one-handed, 36-yard grab at the Dolphins 1-yard line, then scored on a 71-yard play after catching the ball about 10 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

Moss caught six passes for 147 yards, while Brady went 25 for 37 for 332 yards, his third straight game with more than 300 yards.

Bengals 17, Ravens 7

With Cedric Benson topping 100 yards again, the Bengals got ahead early and ground one out. Cincinnati (6-2) scored on its first three possessions, then spent the rest of its time chasing Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco around the field.

Cowboys 20, Eagles 16

Tony Romo threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Miles Austin midway through the fourth quarter and the Cowboys won the 100th meeting between the division rivals.

The Cowboys (6-2) took over sole possession of first place in the NFC East with their fourth straight victory.

The Eagles fell to 5-3.

Seahawks 32, Lions 20

Matt Hasselbeck rallied the Seahawks from a 17-0 deficit with a franchise-record 39 completions, and Seattle avoided the embarrassment of being the first home team to lose to the Lions in 25 months.

Falcons 31, Redskins 17

Michael Turner ran for a season-high 166 yards and two touchdowns as Atlanta improved to 5-3.

The burly running back broke off touchdown runs of 58 and 30 yards as the Falcons built a 24-3 halftime lead.

Jaguars 24, Chiefs 21

David Garrard threw for 264 yards, including a 61-yard touchdown to Mike Sims-Walker as the Jaguars evened their record at 4-4.

Playing without running back Larry Johnson, the Chiefs (1-7) managed little offense until late in the fourth quarter.
