Injuries to several NFL stars took some of the spotlight away from scintillating finishes by the Patriots, Eagles, Jaguars and Cowboys.

Rodney Harrison, Kurt Warner, Takeo Spikes and David Akers were among the ailing Sunday.

Harrison's knee injury, which looked serious, took some of the shine off yet another resourceful victory by New England, 23-20 at Pittsburgh on Adam Vinatieri's 43-yard field goal with a second to go. Harrison, the NFL's career leader for sacks by a defensive back, was taken off the field on a stretcher and driven to team bus on a cart after the game.

"We brought 45 guys here," coach Bill Belichick said. "When one man goes down, that's what the other is there for. He steps in."

The fill-ins were solid and such clutch players as Vinatieri and Tom Brady made the winning plays.

Akers, whose Eagles lost to the Patriots in the Super Bowl, matched Vinatieri's winning boot as Philadelphia beat Oakland, also 23-20. Akers, fighting through a strained right hamstring, kicked a 23-yarder with 9 seconds left. Earlier, he was sidelined for an extra point.

"You know it's going to hurt for one second and then the game is over," said Akers, a two-time Pro Bowl kicker. "My whole leg hurts right now."

Spikes, the Bills' brilliant linebacker, was less fortunate. He damaged his right Achilles' tendon, which could end his season, in a 24-16 loss to Atlanta.

Spikes was hurt in the second quarter while pressuring Michael Vick deep. The linebacker lay on the field face-down for a few minutes, then rolled over and slammed his helmet to the ground. After being helped to the sideline, Spikes appeared in tears as he was taken away on a cart.

"He's the pulse," safety Troy Vincent said of the eight-year veteran and two-time Pro Bowl selection. "I don't know how bad it is, but it could be devastating."

Warner, the two-time MVP who has struggled in recent years, left the Cardinals' 37-12 loss at Seattle with an injured right groin after scrambling during the second quarter. Arizona couldn't move on offense without him and managed only four field goals.

"Obviously, things are worst in the first 24 hours," Warner said. "It's a little sore right now, but hopefully it's not extremely serious."
