Bears 31, Falcons 3
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Brian Urlacher's 90-yard fumble recovery for a TD put the Bears ahead 24-0 with 6:04 to play. Bears' LB Urlacher. Had a sack, an interception, forced a fumble and returned a fumble for a TD. With five turnovers and seven sacks, the Bears took it to Chris Chandler, the top-rated quarterback in the league, and really contained Michael Vick. They're playing like a top defense in the league.
UP NEXT: Bears (2-1) vs. Cardinals (1-2)   |    Falcons (2-2) vs. 49ers (2-1)

Browns 20, Chargers 16
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Tim Couch threw a 19-yard TD pass to Kevin Johnson with 1:15 remaining. Browns defensive line. Roughed up Doug Flutie all afternoon. You win with defense and the Browns are playing outstanding defense right now. Let's talk about (playoff potential) after they play Tennessee and Baltimore in their division.
UP NEXT: Chargers (3-1) at Patriots (1-3)   |    Browns (3-1) at Bengals (2-2)

Dolphins 30, Patriots 10
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Jason Taylor picked up a fumble and returned it 1-yard for a TD and 27-10 lead to end the third quarter. Dolphins' RB Lamar Smith. Rushed 29 times for 144 yards and a TD in bruising performance. This is how the Patriots played three times and last week was how they played once so, this is probably a better indication of the way they play. When you turn the ball over and can't protect the quarterback, not too many good things are going to happen.
UP NEXT: Patriots (1-3) vs. Chargers (3-1)   |    Dolphins (3-1) at Jets (1-2)

Saints 28, Vikings 15
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Chris Oldham returned a fumble 38 yards for a TD and 25-7 lead in the third quarter. Saints' RB Ricky Williams. Carried 30 times for 136 yards and TD, and had five catches for 42 yards. Ricky Williams was outstanding ... he controls the game and makes it a lot easier for the Saints to throw the ball ... the Saints are definitely among the NFC's best.
UP NEXT: Vikings (1-3) vs. Lions (0-2)   |    Saints (2-1) at Panthers (1-2)

Giants 23, Redskins 9
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Jason Sehorn returned an interception 34 yards for a TD in the fourth quarter for the final score. Giants' CB Sehorn. Had six tackles and two interceptions, including the one for a key score. This was a sloppy game because both teams turned the ball over a lot. The Redskins competed, played hard and tackled better (than in previous losses).
UP NEXT: Redskins (0-4) at Cowboys (0-4)   |    Giants (3-1) at Rams (3-0)

Cardinals 21, Eagles 20
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Jake Plummer threw a 35-yard TD pass to MarTay Jenkins with nine seconds left. Cardinals' QB Plummer. It was a fine grab by Jenkins, but Plummer engineered the drive and has doomed the Eagles five times in the final quarter. They were looking towards their next matchup against the Giants and forgot they had a game with Arizona this week. They let the Cardinals get ahead early, came back from behind, and then the let them win it in the end.
UP NEXT: Cardinals (1-2) at Bears (2-1)   |    Eagles (2-2) BYE

Steelers 16, Bengals 7
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Kris Brown kicked a 48-yard field goal for the final score in the final minutes. Steelers' RB Jerome Bettis. Rushed for 153 yards on 23 carries, surpassing the 10,000-yard mark for his career. Jerome Bettis had an outstanding day. He just lined up and ran the ball. That's Pittsburgh's game -- when they can run the ball, they're going to win.
UP NEXT: Bengals (2-2) vs. Browns (3-1)   |    Steelers (2-1) at Chiefs (1-3)

Ravens 26, Titans 7
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
The Ravens built a 17-0 lead at halftime, insurmountable against their defense. Ravens RB Terry Allen. Fills in admirably with 108 yards and a TD on 22 carries. Histororically, an 0-3 start is not a good sign for Tennessee's playoff hopes. With Jeff Fisher at the helm, the Titans need to get back to what they do well -- Eddie George needs to run the ball.
UP NEXT: Titans (0-3) vs. Bucs (2-1)   |    Ravens (3-1) at Packers (3-1)

Seahawks 24, Jaguars 15
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Rian Lindell's 25-yard FG in the fourth quarter gave the Seahawks a 9-point lead. Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander. Rushed for 176 yards and two TDs on 31 carries. Trent Dilfer handled the Seahawks offense much better than we've seen this season. Polished and ready, Dilfer got the ball to his receivers and the Jacksonville blitz didn't bother him.
UP NEXT: Jaguars (2-2) BYE   |    Seahawks (2-2) vs. Broncos (3-1)

Broncos 20, Chiefs 6
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Rod Smith caught a 4-yard TD pass from Brian Griese in the fourth for the final points. Broncos RB Mike Anderson. Rushed 22 times for 155 yards and a TD in another strong showing. If Rod Smith is taken away, the Broncos need someone else to go to because Eddie Kennison is not getting the job done.
UP NEXT: Chiefs (1-3) vs. Steelers (2-1)   |    Broncos (3-1) at Seahawks 2-2)

Jets 42, Bills 36
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Mo Lewis returned a fumble 15 yards for a TD to make it 42-22 at the end of the third. Jets RB Curtis Martin. Rushed for 135 yards and two TDs on 26 carries. The Jets will have to play much better on defense to have a chance at the playoffs. Offensively, they're starting to spread the ball around a little bit and do some more creative things -- which they needed to do.
UP NEXT: Jets (2-2) vs. Dolphins (3-1)   |    Bills (0-4) BYE

Raiders 28, Cowboys 21
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
The Raiders went up 21-7 in the third quarter on a run by Tyrone Wheatley. Raiders WR Tim Brown. Solid outing with seven catches for 114 yards. In practice, Quincy Carter fumbled three snaps and was throwing interceptions. Carter pulling his hamstring was the best thing that happened to the Cowboys today -- Anthony Wright gives the Cowboys the best chance to win.
UP NEXT: Cowboys (0-4) vs. Redskins (0-4) MNF   |    Raiders (3-1) at Colts (2-1)

Bucs 14, Packers 10
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ... Vinny Cerrato's analysis
Mike Alstott broke free for a 39-yard TD in the fourth, and Brett Favre's final end-zone passes fell incomplete. Bucs LB Shelton Quarles. Returned an interception 98 yards for a TD. Offensively, the Bucs need to get the ball down the field a little more. They're playing so conservatively that it takes 8-12 plays to move the ball.
UP NEXT: Packers (3-1) vs. Ravens (3-1)   |    Bucs (2-1) at Titans (0-3)

Niners 24, Panthers 14
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ...
Terell Owens grabbed a 20-yard TD pass from Jeff Garcia with less than three minutes left. Niners' WR Owens. Had 8 catches for 118 yards and two TDs.
UP NEXT: Panthers (1-3) vs. Saints (2-1)   |    49ers (3-1) at Falcons (2-2)

Rams 35, Lions 0
RECAP | BOX SCORE
It was over when ... Game ball goes to ...
Dre' Bly intercepted Ty Detmer and returned it 93 yards for a TD and 21-0 Rams lead. Rams QB Kurt Warner. Finished 29 of 37 passing for 291 yards and three TDs.
UP NEXT: Rams (4-0) vs. Giants (3-1)   |    Lions (0-3) at Vikings (1-3)
