Titans remain unbeaten
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 04 - 11 - 2008

Rob Bironas got a second chance at redemption in overtime Sunday, kicking a 41-yard field goal with 9:36 to go that kept the Tennessee Titans the NFL's last unbeaten team with a 19-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
Bironas had a chance to win in regulation but banged a 47-yarder off the upright, prompting the All-Pro to yank his facemask down in anger at himself.
But 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 on Mason Crosby's third field goal, a 38-yarder, with 5:30 left.
Bengals 21, Jaguars 19: At Cincinnati, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a pair of touchdown passes to Chad Ocho Cinco, who celebrated the second one by giving the head coach a kiss, and the Bengals stopped a late 2-point conversion try to preserve their first victory.
At 1-8, the Bengals are no longer on pace to be historically bad. Now merely dreadful, they were too much for the stunned Jaguars (3-5), who fell behind 21-3 before making it close.
Montell Owens returned a fumble 18 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown, and David Garrard led a late drive that culminated in Maurice Jones-Drew's 1-yard run with 1:17 to go. Garrard failed to squeeze a pass into double-covered Jerry Porter on the conversion try.
Jets 26, Bills 17: At Orchard Park, New York, Abram Elam, starting in place of injured safety Eric Smith, returned an interception thrown by Trent Edwards 92 yards for a touchdown, sparking New York's victory over the bumbling Buffalo.
The Jets (5-3) have won four of five and have caught the Bills in the division standings. Buffalo (5-3) has lost three of four and lost all the momentum it had generated following a 4-0 start.
Brett Favre wasn't exactly perfect a week after he threw three interceptions before securing a 28-24 win over Kansas City.
Against Buffalo, he forced a throw to the left sideline and was intercepted by Jabari Greer, who returned it 42 yards for a touchdown that cut the Jets' lead to 23-17 with under 11 minutes left.
Favre, 19-of-28 for 201 yards, responded by efficiently producing a 14-play, 65-yard drive that ate up nearly 9 minutes and ended with Jay Feely hitting a 31-yard field goal.
Bears 27, Lions 23: At Chicago, Rex Grossman came off the bench to replace injured quarterback Kyle Orton and scored the go-ahead touchdown with 5:36 left, helping Chicago rally from a 10-point deficit for a victory over the winless Detroit.
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. They didn't lose the game, though.
They can thank Grossman and Forte, who ran for 40 of Chicago's 55 yards on the go-ahead drive.
His 19-yard dash put the ball on the 1 and Jason McKie got it back there with a 5-yarder after an illegal procedure penalty, setting up Grossman's 1-yard plunge that put Chicago up 27-23.
With Daunte Culpepper reportedly about to sign with Detroit (0-8), Dan Orlovsky was 28-of-47 for 292 yards and two touchdowns but threw two interceptions.
Bucs 30, Chiefs 27, OT: At Kansas City, Missouri, Jeff Garcia's 24-yard touchdown pass and 2-point conversion toss tied it with 19 seconds left, and Matt Bryant's 33-yard field goal in overtime gave Tampa Bay a win after they trailed by 21.
Elsewhere it was: Vikings 28, Texans 21; Cardinals 34, Rams 13; Ravens 37, Browns 27; Giants 35, Cowboys 14; Dolphins 26, Broncos 17; Falcons 24, Raiders 0; Eagles 26, Seahawks 7; Colts 18, Patriots 15.
