PHILADELPHIA (AP) — To Jim Harbaugh and Alex Smith, Sunday's stun- ning comeback victory was one for the road. The San Francisco 49ers lauded last week's tempo- rary home in eastern Ohio, and how comfortable they felt in the second half in Philadelphia, where they surged back from a 20-point deficit to win 24-23.

''That's as good a win as I can ever remember being a part of. I'm really proud of our players. They never flinched in a tough environ- ment here, and there was no moment or circumstance that made them nervous in this ballgame. We kept fighting, made adjustments — a great team victory for us.'' And a bitter disappoint- ment for the Eagles (1-3), who wasted a splendid per- formance by Michael Vick, injured hand and all. Vick wasn't hampered by his bruised right hand — he did injure a finger on his left hand in the first half — throwing for a career-high 416 yards and two touch- downs and rushing for 75 yards. But Philly's defense fell apart in the final 30 min- utes, and Frank Gore capped a 77-yard drive with a 12-yard TD run with 3 minutes remaining. ''It's unacceptable to give up a lead that size in the second half,'' defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins said. ''If we don't win, we're just a bunch of talented people who haven't done anything, and there's a lot of teams like that.'' The 49ers (3-1) are tal- ented enough to lead the NFC West after breaking a five-game losing streak against Philadelphia. The much-maligned Smith went 13 for 17 for 201 yards in the second half, with TD passes of 30 yards to Joshua Morgan and 9 to Vernon See 49ERS, page 2B Campbell has key INT, Raiders lose Valverde, Tigers OAKLAND (AP) — Jason Campbell looked left, then right, stepped up, pulled back and finally chose to loft a perfect strike to a wide-open Patrick Chung waiting in the back of the end zone. The only problem is Chung plays for the Patriots. Campbell's perplexing pass for one of his two interceptions shifted the momentum at a criti- cal point, and the Oakland Raiders went on to lose 31-19 to Tom Brady and the New Eng- land Patriots on Sunday. ''One mistake like that kind of throws you out of it,'' Camp- bell said. Campbell threw another interception early in the fourth quarter to 325-pound defensive lineman Vince Wilfork, deflat- ing a sellout crowd at the Coli- seum that came to cheer from the opening kickoff. He finished 25 for 39 for 344 yards, but the penalty-riddled Raiders (2-2) made it into the end zone only once before Campbell's 6-yard TD pass to Denarius Moore with 28 seconds left. ''We have to play better on defense. We have to do better on offense. We have to play better on special teams, and I got to get this penalty thing solved,'' Raiders coach Hue Jackson said. ''There ain't no magic to it or anything. It's just called work. We're going to go back to work. We got beat by a team and an organization that's a little bit better than us at this point.'' Clearly. Brady returned from a four- interception performance by throwing for 226 yards and two touchdowns and committing no turnovers. Wes Welker caught nine passes for 158 yards and a score, BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Stevan Ridley added touch- downs rushing, and the Patriots (3-1) played a mostly mistake- free game after last week's sur- stop Yanks in 9th NEW YORK (AP) — Detroit closer Jose Valverde held off a furious New York ninth-inning rally and the Tigers avoided a major slip-up, beating the Yankees 5-3 on a rainy Sunday and evening their best-of-five AL playoff series at one game apiece. Down 5-1, the Yankees scored twice in the ninth. Helped when Detroit catcher Alex Avila lost his footing on the slick on-deck circle while chasing a foul pop that would've been the final out, New York got a chance to win it. ''It's a little hard. That's what hap- pens sometimes,'' Valverde said. After his popup landed untouched, Curtis Granderson drew a walk. With two outs and two on, Robinson Cano came to the plate. Cano, who hit a grand slam and had six RBIs as the Yankees won the open- er, wiped away raindrops from his hel- met and then hit a routine groundball to end it.

Oakland committed nine penalties for 85 yards, including a pair of personal fouls on New England's opening drive by for- mer Patriots star Richard Sey- mour. But the biggest mistake was the one made by Campbell at the end of the first half. The Raiders were at the New England 6 and in position to take a 17-14 lead when Campbell stepped up in the pocket and threw the ball directly to Chung. ''It was just a bonehead play,'' Campbell said. ''I was just going to throw the ball out of bounds, then I start running around trying to make a play. It's just one of those I have to throw it out of bounds. ... I kind of lost control of it a little bit as I was throwing it.: The Patriots drove for a 44- yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski in the closing sec- onds of the half. ''I'm not happy it happened at all,'' Campbell said. ''I'll probably beat myself up more than anybody would.'' New England then took the opening kickoff of the second half down the field for a score on Ridley's 33-yard run, so the See INT, page 2B — but particularly against a team like them with the short porch in right field — it was not a good feeling,'' Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. ''But it worked out OK.'' Tigers starter Max Scherzer pitched no-hit ball into the sixth before Cano blooped an opposite-field single to left. Miguel Cabrera's two-run homer in the first off Freddy Garcia gave Scherz- er an early edge, and the Tigers took a 4-0 lead into the eighth. Granderson hit a solo homer off Tigers reliever Joaquin Benoit in the eighth. Pretty soon, the rain — and all the drama — filled Yankee Stadium. Game 3 is Monday at Detroit. In an ace rematch, of sorts, CC Sabathia is scheduled to start for the Yankees against Justin Verlander. The two All- Stars faced each other in the series opener Friday night, but the game was suspended after only 1 1/2 innings because of rain. The Yankees lost three of four this year at Detroit and are 22-25 at Comer- ica Park since it opened in 2000. It's one of only two AL stadiums where New York has a losing record. Kurt Busch wins at Dover, back in the Chase DOVER, Del. (AP) — Kurt Busch left a rocky start to the Chase and his fiercest rival behind him. Busch stormed into con- tention for a second Cup championship, holding off fellow Chase drivers Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards to win Sunday at Dover International Speedway, tightening the leaderboard in a playoff where no driver has emerged as a clear-cut favorite. mix. Busch, though, is in the His No. 22 Dodge seemed only to get stronger over the 400-mile race and he beat Johnson, his long- time antagonist, on the final restart to take the checkered flag for the second time this season. The win pushed Busch from ninth to fourth in the points standings, only nine points out of first. Only 15 points separate the top eight drivers with seven races left. Edwards and Kevin Har- vick share the points lead in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings entering round 4 of the Chase at Kansas Speedway. Harvick is seeded first because of a tiebreaker. Busch, the 2004 champi- on, won his 24th career race and for the first time at Dover. ''To win a Sprint Cup race in the Chase, this is what it's all about,'' Busch said. Johnson leads active dri- vers with six career victories at Dover and traditionally dominated Chase races. Sure enough, after a tough start to the Chase, the defending five-time champi- on led the majority of laps and proved the No. 48 is far from finished. ''Are we out of this?'' said Johnson, rubbing his chin with a smile. shot. Not yet. Not by a long Johnson got beat off the last two restarts, spinning his tires on the first one and he mistimed when Busch would accelerate on the sec- ond.
