Updated: 2007-11-19 15:18 NEW YORK - Tom Brady passed for five touchdowns, throwing four to Randy Moss in the first half, to guide the unbeaten New England Patriots to a 56-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills and their 10th successive win on Sunday. The Patriots are seeking to become the first team to go undefeated through a NFL season since the Miami Dolphins in 1972. Brady completed 31 of 39 passes for 373 yards and threw to Moss for first half touchdowns of 43, 16, six and 17 yards, then hit Benjamin Watson for a three-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He has now passed for 38 touchdowns this season. "He's got a lot of great skills," Brady said when asked about Moss. "The way that he practices and works sets the tone for everybody." *Phil Dawson's 33-yard field goal in overtime gave the Cleveland Browns a 33-30 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Dawson tied the score with a controversial 51-yard field goal for the Browns (6-4) as time expired. The Ravens thought the kick was unsuccessful, but officials decided the ball had cleared the uprights before hitting the center support of the goal post and bouncing back on the field. It followed a 47-yarder by Matt Stover with 26 seconds left that had put the Ravens (4-6) ahead 30-27. *Adam Vinatieri kicked a 24-yard field goal with three seconds remaining to give the Indianapolis Colts a 13-10 home victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. *Terrell Owens caught four touchdown passes from Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys (9-1) held off the Washington Redskins (5-5) for a 28-23 victory. Owens captured passes of four, 31, 46 and 52 yards. He had eight catches for 173 yards as Dallas won their fourth straight. *Brett Favre passed for three touchdowns, two to Donald Lee, as the Green Bay Packers (9-1) beat the Carolina Panthers 31-17. *The Philadelphia Eagles (5-5) beat the Miami Dolphins (0-10) 17-7 despite losing quarterback Donovan McNabb to a sprained right ankle in the second quarter. *Antrel Rolle returned intercepted passes 55 and 54 yards for touchdowns and had a third for 71 yards which was nullified as the Arizona Cardinals (5-5) beat the Cincinnati Bengals 35-27. *The New York Giants (7-3) intercepted Detroit quarterback Jon Kitna three times in a 16-10 victory over the Lions (6-4). *David Garrard returned from injury and threw two touchdown passes as the Jacksonville Jaguars (7-3) defeated the San Diego Chargers 24-17. The Chargers dropped to 5-5. *Chester Taylor rushed for 164 yards and scored three touchdowns for the Minnesota Vikings (4-6) in a 29-22 victory over the Oakland Raiders (2-8). *Matt Schaub passed for two touchdowns in the Houston Texans (5-5) 23-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints (4-6), who were held to just 47 yards rushing. *Jeff Garcia's two touchdown passes lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-4) to a 31-7 victory over the Atlanta Falcons (3-7), who did not score until the final 70 seconds. *Mike Nugent kicked a 38-yard field goal in overtime to help the New York Jets (2-8) snap a six-game losing streak with a 19-16 upset victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-3). *The St. Louis Rams (2-8) handed the San Francisco 49ers their eighth successive loss with a 13-9 victory. *Matt Hasselbeck's two touchdown passes powered the Seattle Seahawks (5-4) to a 30-23 home win over the Chicago Bears (4-6). |
