Brady, Patriots grab 59-0 win
Tom Brady finding his form could be bad news for the rest of the NFL.
A few other quarterbacks were at their Sunday best, too.
Brett Favre and Drew Brees helped their teams remain unbeaten. Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner, who met in last season's Super Bowl, each won to put their teams into first-place ties.
Brady threw six touchdown passes — including an NFL-record five in one quarter — and the Patriots sent the Titans plummeting to a new low in their winless season with a 59-0 win on a snowy day in Foxborough.
Brady threw five scoring passes in the second quarter and the Patriots built the biggest halftime lead in league history, 45-0. The six touchdown throws tied Brady's own Patriots record. And the 59-point victory margin matched the league's largest since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. The Los Angeles Rams beat the Atlanta Falcons by the same score in 1976.
The Patriots (4-2) gained a club-record 619 yards, with Brady completing 29 of 34 passes for 380 yards and matching the number of scoring passes he totaled in his first five games..
Vikings 33, Ravens 31At Minneapolis, Brett Favre's 58-yard completion to Sidney Rice set up Ryan Longwell's fourth field goal, and Baltimore's Steve Hauschka missed a 44-yard field goal as time expired, allowing Minnesota to remain undefeated.
Saints 48, Giants 27At New Orleans, Drew Brees ended his two-game streak without a touchdown throw by completing 23 of 30 passes for 369 yards and four scores, and the Saints easily remained unbeaten by torching the Giants' league-leading defense.
Cardinals 27, Seahawks 3At Seattle, Arizona moved into a tie for the NFC West lead as Kurt Warner completed 32 of 41 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns.
Texans 28, Bengals 17At Cincinnati, Matt Schaub tied his career high with four TD passes — two to tight end Owen Daniels — and Houston pulled away to deny the Bengals another chance to win one at the end.
Raiders 13, Eagles 9At Oakland, Calif., Louis Murphy threw two key blocks to spring Zach Miller's 86-yard touchdown catch, Justin Fargas ran for 87 yards and the Raiders' defense harassed Donovan McNabb all day.
Packers 26, Lions 0At Green Bay, Wis., Aaron Rodgers got sacked five times but still managed to have a big day against Detroit's defense, throwing for 358 yards with two touchdowns.
Bills 16, Jets 13, OTAt East Rutherford, N.J., Rian Lindell kicked a 47-yard field goal with 2:44 left in overtime, making up for a miss at the end of regulation.
Panthers 28, Bucs 21At Tampa, Fla., DeAngelo Williams gained a season-best 152 yards on 30 carries and scored twice, including the winning TD with 29 seconds left. The 1-yard dive capped a 16-play, 80-yard drive that took more than 8 minutes.
Chiefs 14, Redskins 6At Landover, Md., Ryan Succop's four field goals, including the go-ahead 46-yarder with 3:36 to play, plus a last-minute safety were all the Chiefs needed.
Jaguars 23, Rams 20, OTAt Jacksonville, Fla., Torry Holt had 101 yards receiving in his first game against his former team, Maurice Jones-Drew ran for 133 yards and three touchdowns for the Jaguars.
Falcons 21, Bears 14At Atlanta, Michael Turner scored the go-ahead touchdown on an otherwise forgettable night, powering over from 5 yards with 3:06 remaining.
