2B – Daily News – Monday, November 22, 2010 Brady beats Manning, ties record for most consecutive home wins 20th NFL season. Patriots 31, Colts 28 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady barely outdueled Peyton Manning in their annual meeting, leading New England over Indianapolis. The teams met for the eighth straight season, and Brady guided the Patriots (8-2) to a 31-14 lead before four-time MVP Manning led a spirited comeback. But Manning was intercepted in the final moments for the third time. Brady not only beat Manning, the only other quarterback of the last decade in his class, but tied another QB icon for an NFL mark. Brady has won 25 straight regular-season home starts, equaling Brett Favre’s record when he was with Green Bay. Eagles 27, Giants 17 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — LeSean McCoy ran 50 yards for the go-ahead score on a fourth-and-1 late in the fourth quarter, and the Philadelphia Eagles rallied to beat the New York Giants 27-17 after blowing a 13- point lead Sunday night. Michael Vick looked a little more ordinary after a spectacular performance in a 59-28 win over Washing- ton Monday night, but he led the Eagles (7-3) to a comeback win nonetheless, and helped give them sole possession of first place in the NFC East. Eli Manning threw a pair of touchdown passes to bring New York (6-4) back from a 16-3 deficit. But he lost a fumble after running for a first down on fourth- and-6 with 2:51 left, and the Eagles recovered. Saints 34, Seahawks 16 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees became the Saints’ all-time completions leader, throwing for four touchdowns. Brees was 29 of 42 for 382 yards and completed his 1,850th pass as a Saint in the second quarter to break a record held by Archie Man- ning since 1982. Brees hit Marques Col- ston and Robert Meachem twice each for TDs to keep the defending champion Saints (7-3) one game behind NFC South Division leader Atlanta. Matt Hasselbeck was 32 of 44 for 366 yards, the most yards allowed by New Orleans’ top-ranked passing defense this season, but Seattle (5-5) had trouble get- ting in the end zone. The Seahawks lost two fumbles and had four drives end with field goals. Falcons 34, Rams 17 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Ryan threw two touchdown passes and directed an offense so dominant that three St. Louis defenders left with cramps in Atlanta’s win. Sam Bradford also had a pair of touchdown passes and set an NFL rookie record with 169 consecutive passes without an intercep- tion before William Moore picked off a shovel pass at the 2 with 3:24 to go. That was the clincher for the Fal- cons (8-2), who won their fourth in a row and ended the Rams’ four-game home winning streak. Ryan was 26 of 39 for 253 yards with touchdown passes to Brian Finneran and Justin Peelle, and Roddy White set up scores with nine catches for 83 yards. Jets 30, Titans 27 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Santonio Holmes caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez with 10 seconds left, lifting the New York Jets to a stunning 30-27 comeback victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday. After New York blew a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter, the Jets trailed 27- 23 with less than a minute left. But Sanchez completed two passes to LaDainian Tomlinson and then had a pretty 42-yard pass to Bray- lon Edwards with 16 sec- onds remaining. On the next play, Sanchez found Holmes streaking into the left corner of the end zone for the winning score for the Jets (8-2). A video replay confirmed that Holmes, whose 37-yard touchdown catch won it in overtime at Cleveland last week, got both feet in bounds. It was another heart- breaking loss for the Texans (4-6), who fell last week on a desperation heave as time expired at Jacksonville. Packers 31, Vikings 3 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw for 301 yards, with three of his four touchdown passes to Greg Jennings, and Green Bay beat Brett Favre and Minnesota for the second time this season. The Packers (7-3) kept pace in the NFC North race with the Chicago Bears (7- 3) and ruined any realistic hope the Vikings (3-7) had left to give Favre another shot at a playoff run in his Instead, this 100th meet- ing between these border- state rivals, likely the last for the 41-year-old Favre, was marked by costly turnovers, untimely penalties and some sideline shouting by the frustrated Vikings. Tramon Williams inter- cepted Favre to stop a long Vikings drive, and Rodgers took the Packers the other way for a touchdown to James Jones in the final minute of the first half to give the visitors a 17-3 lead. Redskins 19, Titans 16 OT NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Graham Gano kicked a 48-yard field goal with 8:17 left in overtime to lift Washington. Titans quarterback Vince Young left the game with an injured thumb on his throw- ing hand, and was replaced by rookie Rusty Smith. Washington (5-5) snapped a two-game skid and bounced back from a 59-28 loss to Philadelphia on Monday night. The win came on a day when at least seven Redskins went to the sideline with injuries, including Clinton Portis with a re-injured groin. Gano’s winner was his fourth field goal of the game. He also missed two — a 51-yarder to end the first half and a 47-yard attempt at the end of regula- tion that fell short. Donovan McNabb was 30 of 50 for 376 yards with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Santana Moss. The Titans (5-5) lost their third straight game. Chiefs 31, Cardinals 13 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Dwayne Bowe caught two touchdown pass- es, giving him a team-record six straight games with at least one score, and Kansas City remained unbeaten at home. In his last six games, Bowe has 563 yards receiv- ing and 10 touchdown catches for the Chiefs (6-4). Thomas Jones also had two touchdowns for the Chiefs, who are 5-0 at home and are in sole possession of first place in the AFC West. Jaguars 24, Browns 20 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Maurice Jones- Drew followed a 75-yard reception with a 1-yard touchdown dive with 1:16 left as Jacksonville (6-4) overcame six turnovers. Jones-Drew broke four tackles on a screen pass from David Garrard and weaved his way toward the end zone. Rookie Joe Haden made a touchdown-saving tackle that ended up taking precious seconds off the clock. Jones-Drew scored two plays later, giving both teams dramatic finishes for the second time in as many games. The Jaguars beat Hous- ton last week on Garrard’s desperation pass to Mike Thomas on the final play. The Browns (3-7) lost to the New York Jets in overtime on Santonio Holmes’ 37- yard TD reception. Cleveland had a final chance to win this one, but Sean Considine tipped Colt McCoy’s pass to Mike Bell at the goal line. The pass bounced off Bell’s chest and landed in Considine’s arms. Ravens 37, Panthers 13 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Joe Flacco threw for 301 yards and a touch- down, Baltimore’s defense returned consecutive inter- ceptions for TDs in the fourth quarter, and the Ravens beat Brian St. Pierre and the Panthers. The Ravens (7-3) recov- ered after a disheartening loss to Atlanta 10 days earli- er by finally rattling Caroli- na’s quarterback to break open a surprisingly close game. With Baltimore lead- ing 23-13, Ed Reed picked off St. Pierre, then pitched it to Dawan Landry for a touchdown. On the next play, St. Pierre was intercepted by Ray Lewis, who rumbled 24 yards for a score. It wiped out a potential storybook performance by St. Pierre, signed by Caroli- na (1-9) a little over a week ago. He threw an 88-yard TD pass to David Gettis to get the Panthers within a MLS CUP Sunday’s result Colorado 2, FC Dallas 1, OT West WL T Pct PF PA NHL WESTERN CONFERENCE Pacific Division Kings WL OT Pts GF GA 13 6 0 26 59 46 Phoenix 10 5 5 25 57 59 Ducks Central Division Detroit SHARKS 96 4 22 55 52 Dallas 10 10 3 23 57 69 10 7 1 21 56 53 WL OT Pts GF GA 13 3 2 28 66 48 St. Louis 11 5 3 25 52 51 Columbus 12 6 0 24 53 44 Chicago 11 10 2 24 71 67 Nashville 9 6 3 21 47 49 Northwest Division WL OT Pts GF GA Colorado 12 7 1 25 72 60 Vancouver 10 7 3 23 58 56 Minnesota 10 7 2 22 46 47 Calgary 8 10 1 17 58 59 Edmonton 5 10 4 14 49 77 EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Division WL OT Pts GF GA Philadelphia 13 6 2 28 75 53 Pittsburgh 11 8 2 24 66 57 N.Y.

Cowboys 35, Lions 19 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Bryan McCann grabbed a batted-down punt and returned it 97 yards for a touchdown, Miles Austin had two short touchdown catches and 38-year-old Jon Kitna had a career-best 29- yard TD for Dallas. Cowboys interim coach Jason Garrett won his home debut and improved to 2-0 since taking over for Wade Phillips. It’s the first time all season Dallas (3-7) won at home, having lost the first four. The Lions (2-8) lost their 26th straight on the road, extending a woeful NFL record that began in 2007, when Kitna was their quarterback. Detroit led 12- 7 and was consistently stuff- ing the Cowboys’ offense midway through the third quarter when John Wedling jumped over the goal line and tapped a punt back into the field of play.
