NFL-Highlights of Sunday's NFL games

(Adds two late games) Oct 6 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Sunday's National Football League games: - - Colts 34, Seahawks 28 Andrew Luck passed for 229 yards and two touchdowns and led another comeback victory as the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Seattle Seahawks. The Colts trailed 28-23 in the final quarter where Luck led an 84-yard drive that put the Colts up for good. T.Y. Hilton caught five passes for a career-high 140 yards and two touchdowns and Reggie Wayne had six catches for 65 yards for the Colts (4-1). Russell Wilson passed for 210 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 102 yards and Marshawn Lynch also had 102 rushing yards for the Seahawks (4-1). - - Bengals 13, Patriots 6 The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Patriots, snapping quarterback Tom Brady's streak of 52 consecutive games with a touchdown pass in the process. Running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis scored on a one-yard run on fourth-and-goal with 9:21 remaining to give Cincinnati a 13-3 advantage and the Bengals (3-2) defense kept New England (4-1) out of the end zone on three drives in the fourth quarter to get their first win against the Patriots in 12 years. Cornerback Adam Jones intercepted Brady at the Cincinnati three-yard line with 16 seconds remaining to seal the win. The Bengals sacked Brady four times and limited him to 197 yards - - Saints 26, Bears 18 Drew Brees threw two second-quarter touchdown passes to running back Pierre Thomas and the New Orleans Saints, despite missing several chances to break open the game, easily defeated the Chicago Bears to start the season with a 5-0 record. The Bears had no defensive answer for tight end Jimmy Graham, who caught 10 passes for 135 yards, and New Orleans grabbed a 20-7 halftime lead. Chicago made the final score look respectable, however, when Jay Cutler threw a two-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall with 2:11 remaining in the fourth quarter and Matt Forte ran for a two-point conversion. - - Chiefs 26, Titans 17 The Kansas City Chiefs kept their perfect record intact with a victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Chiefs were down 17-13 late but took the lead for good on a one-yard touchdown run by Jamaal Charles with 6:27 left. Charles had 108 yards rushing and 37 receiving. - - Packers 22, Lions 9 The Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions for the 23rd consecutive game, downing their NFC North rivals. The Lions, who started the day atop the division, were without receiver Calvin Johnson (knee), who was a surprise scratch after being limited at Friday's practice. The Packers couldn't take charge until the third quarter. Nursing a 9-3 lead, quarterback Aaron Rodgers hit James Jones for an 83-yard touchdown and Green Bay cruised to improve to 2-2. - - Rams 34, Jaguars 20 St. Louis scored 17 unanswered second period points and established a 24-10 halftime lead before nursing it through the second half for a victory over winless Jacksonville. After a slow start, Sam Bradford warmed up and finished 19 of 34 for 222 yards and three scores, while Jaguars QB Blaine Gabbert injured his hamstring in the third quarter. - - Ravens 26, Dolphins 23 Justin Tucker kicked a 43-yard field goal with 1:42 left in the game to lead the Baltimore Ravens over the Miami Dolphins. It was Tucker's fourth field goal of the game and held up after the Dolphins' game-tying try by rookie Caleb Sturgis from 57 yards missed wide left in the final seconds. The Ravens (3-2) started their winning drive on their own 40 with 4:07 left. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, who passed for 269 yards, directed the winning drive to subdue the Dolphins (3-2). - - Eagles 36, Giants 21 Nick Foles threw for two touchdowns and led four scoring drives after taking over for an injured Michael Vick late in the second quarter and Philadelphia dropped the Giants to 0-5. Three fourth-quarter turnovers by quarterback Eli Manning led to 14 Eagles points and the Giants slipped to their worst start since in a non-strike season since 1979. Vick left the game with a hamstring ailment. - - Cardinals 22, Panthers 6 The Arizona Cardinals sacked Cam Newton seven times, intercepted him three times and the Cardinals offense did just enough to help them score a victory. Newton completed 21 of 39 passes for 308 yards while the Cardinals (3-2) finished with just 253 total yards and withstood a shaky afternoon by quarterback Carson Palmer, who was intercepted three times. - - Broncos 51, Cowboys 48 Peyton Manning led another fourth-quarter comeback in a wild back-and-fourth affair that ended with the undefeated Denver Broncos escaping with a8 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Broncos, down 48-41, scored the game's last 10 points to improve to 5-0. Danny Trevathan set up the Matt Prater's game-winning chip-shot field goal, intercepting Romo with less than two minutes left. Manning passed for 414 yards and four scores, running for another. Romo threw for five touchdowns and 506 yards, breaking the franchise single-game record. - - Raiders 27, Chargers 17 Charles Woodson tied an NFL record for defensive scores when he returned a fumble 25 yards for a third-quarter touchdown, and the Oakland Raiders took advantage of five San Diego turnovers to record a victory over the Chargers. The defensive score was the 13th of Woodson's career, tying the NFL mark held by Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper, and put Oakland up 24-3. Philip Rivers, held in check for the better part of three quarters, rallied the Chargers to 24-17 with 10:17 to play with short touchdown passes to Woodhead and rookie Keenan Allen, but could get no closer. - - 49ers 34, Texans 3 Cornerback Tramaine Brock intercepted two Matt Schaub passes and returned one for a touchdown, as the San Francisco 49ers routed the Houston Texans. The Texans lost their third consecutive game and fell to 2-3, their first losing record since 2010. Schaub became the first quarterback since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 to have an interception returned for a touchdown four games in a row. (Editing by Jahmal Corner and Frank Pingue)
