The last time the New England Patriots went to Indianapolis, they lost.

Ever since falling short in the AFC championship game there, the New England Patriots have gone on a rampage, blowing out every team they've played.

On Sunday, New England (8-0) whipped Washington 52-7 to ensure they'll enter their game against Peyton Manning and the Super Bowl champions next weekend on a historic tear.

Indianapolis hasn't been as brutally efficient, but the Colts are still perfect at 7-0 after disposing of Carolina 31-7 on Sunday.

The rematch is on.

"Everybody's been talking about it for a long time, except us," Manning said. "I guess now it's safe to talk about it."

It may well be, but the Patriots have preferred to talk about what little they've done wrong.

The Patriots have scored at least 34 points in each game and have won each by at least 17 points. They've outscored opponents by an average of 41.3 to 15.9. A more dominant first half would strain the imagination.

"It's a long season," quarterback Tom Brady said. "It's not even November yet and we've got a lot of room for improvement left."

So true. Brady's passer rating for the season actually went down to 136.2, still it's 15.1 points better than the single-season record.

The holder of that record? Manning.

It's not as if he and the Colts haven't been dominant either. In their win Sunday over Carolina, Manning broke Johnny Unitas' team record for career scoring passes. Joseph Addai rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns and caught a TD pass, showing that the Colts are firing on all cylinders heading into their next game.

But the Patriots are simply on another level.

At the rate they're going, they'll score 662 points, shattering the NFL single-season record of 556 set by Minnesota in 1998.

Brady completed 29 of 38 passes for 306 yards and no interceptions. He's been picked off just twice all season, although he did lose a fumble Sunday. He extended his NFL record to eight games at the start of a season with at least three touchdown passes.

The 52 points New England scored were their most since they scored 56 against the New York Jets in 1979.

"I don't know of a weakness that they have," Washington coach Joe Gibbs said.

Giants 13, Dolphins 10

In Wembley, England, the NFL's first regular-season trip overseas was every bit as sloppy as it was predictable.

Eli Manning threw for only 59 yards but ran for New York's lone touchdown to lift the Giants over the still-winless Miami Dolphins.

The Giants (6-2) allowed only 254 yards and held the Dolphins out of the end zone for the first 58 minutes for a victory that only the winners could view as anything remotely beautiful.

In Chicago, Jon Kitna passed for 268 yards, Kevin Jones ran for 105 yards and a touchdown, and the Lions showed they're serious contenders in the NFC.Detroit is 5-2 for the first time since 2000 and making a strong bid for its first playoff appearance since 1999. The Lions have endured six straight seasons with at least 10 losses and won just three games last year, coach Rod Marinelli's first.

In Tampa, Fla., Quinn Gray threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Matt Jones that put the Jaguars (5-2) ahead for good with 11:37 to go. Gray completed 7 of 16 passes for 100 yards, without an interception.Jeff Garcia threw a 58-yard TD pass to Joey Galloway to help Tampa Bay (4-4) rally from a 14-point deficit and Michael Bennett's 19-yard TD run put the Bucs ahead 20-17.

In San Francisco, Drew Brees passed for 336 yards and hit Marques Colston with three of his four touchdown throws in the Saints' third consecutive win.It was the fifth straight loss for San Francisco (2-5).

In Nashville, Tenn., LenDale White ran for a career-high 133 yards, Rob Bironas added two field goals, and Vince Young survived his worst game as an NFL starter, completing only 6 of 14 passes for 42 yards.

In St. Louis, Derek Anderson threw three touchdown passes, two to Braylon Edwards, and the Browns erased an early 14-point deficit for their first road win.The long-struggling Browns (4-3) matched their win total from last season and have won consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 5 and 6 of the 2003 season, a span of 46 games.

In San Diego, two days after the last evacuees left Qualcomm Stadium, the tailgaters and the NFL were back.Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes — two to All-Pro tight end Antonio Gates — cornerback Antonio Cromartie had a monster game for the Chargers (4-3).

In Minneapolis, Donovan McNabb threw for 333 yards and a touchdown and showed plenty of the mobility he appeared to have lost after major knee surgery.McNabb took advantage of the league's worst pass defense, completing 23 of 36 passes and buying plenty of time with his legs to get his Eagles (3-5) back on track.

In East Rutherford, N.J., J.P. Losman came on in relief of an injured Trent Edwards and connected with Lee Evans on an 85-yard touchdown pass with 3:38 remaining.
