When the last player drafted in 2009 trotted onto the field, the best team of 2008 was doomed. A few minutes after Ben Roethlisberger wobbled off the field Sunday with a possible concussion, Ryan Succop kicked a 22-yard field goal with 8:28 left in overtime and the Kansas City Chiefs snapped a team-record 10-game home losing streak with a 27-24 victory over the stunned Pittsburgh Steelers.

The doubters lined up to chastise Brett Favre for ending a second retirement to play for the Minnesota Vikings. One by one, they have been silenced by the 40-year-old's incredible 10-game start in purple. The most efficient performance of his career may have removed the remaining doubt that he still had.

The unbeaten Indianapolis Colts sidestepped another potential obstacle in their march toward NFL history. The Colts kept Baltimore out of the end zone Sunday and got the go-ahead field goal from former Ravens kicker Matt Stover in a 17-15 victory, their 19th straight win over two seasons. Indianapolis (10-0) overcame three turnovers, including two interceptions by Peyton Manning.

Before and after every snap, Tony Romo felt the throbbing in his back, the result of an accidental blow suffered while making a first-quarter tackle, of all things. While he could block out the pain during most plays, he couldn't stop it from affecting his throws -- at least, not until the game was on the line.

Eli Manning and the New York Giants were just happy to celebrate a victory again. It had been six frustrating weeks, not that they were counting or anything. "It's been a long time, 42 days since our last win," Manning said. "It felt like it, too." Lawrence Tynes kicked a 36-yard field goal 3:54 into overtime to make up for an earlier miss and lead the Giants past the Atlanta...

Matthew Stafford was flat on his back, getting his left shoulder evaluated on the sideline by the Detroit Lions medical staff. The Cleveland Browns called a timeout and gave the rookie a chance to get back in the game. 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 38-37 win over...

Perfect through 10 games, the New Orleans Saints think they can play even better. "I feel like we haven't peaked yet. ... I feel like the sky's the limit for this team," Drew Brees said after throwing for three touchdowns in Sunday's 38-7 rout of the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

David Garrard had just three game-winning drives in his first 58 career starts. Now, he has two in the last two weeks. Garrard threw a touchdown pass to Mike Sims-Walker with 56 seconds remaining and Jacksonville beat the Buffalo Bills 18-15 Sunday, spoiling Perry Fewell's debut as interim coach and giving the Jaguars their first three-game winning streak in nearly two years.
