Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers, upped his personal winning streak to 18 with a 34-20 victory over New England. He won his final 13 at Miami of Ohio last season following an opening-game loss, and now is only the second rookie quarterback since the 1970 merger to win his first NFL five starts.

Receivers

Terrell Owens, Eagles, had eight catches for 101 yards and the winning touchdown in a 15-10 victory over the Ravens.

Willis McGahee, Bills, ran for 102 yards and two scores in a 38-14 victory over the Cardinals. In two starts this season, McGahee has two 100-yard games and has led the Bills to both of their victories. McGahee's two scores were the first of his career, and the first touchdowns rushing in 10 games for Buffalo.

Priest Holmes, Chiefs, overcame an early fumble to finish with 143 yards rushing and three touchdowns and 225 yards overall in a 45-35 win over Indianapolis.

Shaun Alexander, Seahawks, gained 195 yards on 32 carries and scored two TDs in a 23-17 win over Carolina.

The Titans sacked Carson Palmer four times, hit him repeatedly, batted down four passes behind the line and forced him into an interception and a fumble in a 27-20 victory.

Shawn Springs, Redskins, had two interceptions, both setting up TDs, in a 28-14 loss to Green Bay.

POLITICAL FOOTBALL

If history holds, the 28-14 Packers victory at Washington portends a victory for John Kerry on Tuesday because the result of the Redskins' final home game before the presidential election has always accurately predicted the White House winner. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If they lose, the incumbent party is ousted.

OOPS

SPEAKING

"After hearing all week about his numbers this and his numbers that, we wanted to put a number on them," said Will Allen, who had one of New York's two interceptions of Daunte Culpepper in a 34-13 romp.

"Don't be a coward and wait until you make one play to do something. What's flattering is he has me on his mind when he's at home." - Ray Lewis on Terrell Owens' imitation of Lewis' dance after the Eagles receiver scored.

"I had a little fun out there. I can't do it like he does, but I tried my best. If you don't like what I do, stop me from getting in the end zone." - Owens on his dance.
