Colts heading for longest streak
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 24 - 11 - 2009

The undefeated Indianapolis Colts found yet another way to win a close game, beating the Baltimore Ravens 17-15 Sunday to secure their 19th straight victory.
The win, secured on former Ravens kicker Matt Stover's go-ahead field goal, gave Indianapolis the second-longest streak in NFL history behind a 21-game run by the New England Patriots (2006-08).
Much to the dismay of the Ravens and their fans, Stover booted the decisive field goal with 7:02 left as the Colts improved to 10 consecutive wins this season.
Colts linebacker Gary Brackett then intercepted Joe Flacco's pass at the Indianapolis 13 with 2:42 remaining, and the Colts kept the ball until the closing seconds.
Saints 38, Buccaneers 7: At Tampa, Florida, Drew Brees threw for three touchdowns as the Saints shrugged off a slow start defensively to remain unbeaten. Robert Meacham caught touchdown passes of 4 and 6 yards in the first half, helping the Saints to their first 10-game winning streak in franchise history.
Eagles 24, Bears 20: At Chicago, Donovan McNabb threw for 244 yards and LeSean McCoy scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 10-yard run following Antonio Dixon's blocked field goal as Philadelphia edged struggling Chicago after back-to-back close losses.
The Bears were leading 20-17 when Dixon blocked a 48-yard field goal by Robbie Gould with 11 minutes left. McNabb then led the Eagles (6-4) on a 62-yard touchdown drive that McCoy capped with a neat 10-yard run, sending Chicago to its fifth loss in six games and delivering another big hit to its playoff hopes.
Chiefs 27, Steelers 24, OT: At Kansas City, Ryan Succop kicked a 22-yard field goal with 8:28 left in overtime after Chris Chambers' 61-yard catch-and-run as the Chiefs ended a team-record 10-game home losing streak.
Chargers 32, Broncos 3: At Englewood, Colorado, Philip Rivers led the Chargers into sole possession of first place in the AFC West division with a drubbing of the Broncos.
Raiders 20, Bengals 17: At Oakland, California, Bruce Gradkowski threw a 29-yard tying touchdown pass to Louis Murphy with 33 seconds left and Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 33-yard field goal after Andre Caldwell fumbled the ensuing kickoff.
Patriots 31, Jets 14: At Foxborough, Leigh Bodden had three of the four interceptions thrown by Mark Sanchez and the Patriots' defense allowed just one touchdown as they took a two-game lead in the AFC East and sent the Jetsto their sixth loss in seven games.
Vikings 35, Seahawks 9: At Minneapolis, Brett Favre completed a career-high 88 percent of his passes for 213 yards and four touchdown passes as the Vikings delivered their most complete performance of the season.
Lions 38, Browns 37: At Detroit, An ailing Matthew Stafford threw his fifth touchdown pass from 1 yard to Brandon Pettigrew, and Jason Hanson's extra point with no time on the clock gave Detroit a thrilling win.
Other results: Giants 34, Falcons 31, OT; Cardinals 21, Rams 13; Cowboys 7, Redskins 6; Packers 30, 49ers 24; Jaguars 18, Bills 15.
