2 3


4 5 6 7 8


9 10


Steelers (5-1): Faced tough test Sunday night at New Orleans. Saints need a win to stay above .500.


Patriots (6-1): They’re 3-0 since trading Randy Moss, and weren’t distracted by the sideshow as they beat Moss, Favre and the Vikings.


Ravens (5-2): It’s looking like a two-team race in the AFC North between the Ravens and Steelers.


Jets (5-2): Rex Ryan called his team NFL’s best. It didn’t play like it in Sunday’s shutout loss to the Packers.


Giants (5-2): Being best in NFC might not mean much, but, while at their bye, New York has that distinction.


Titans (5-3): Despite loss on Sunday, they continue to make the Colts and Texans chase in the AFC South.


Colts (4-2): Host the Texans on Monday night with a chance to make amends for a season-opening defeat.


Chiefs (5-2): Okay, it wasn’t particularly impressive to beat winless Bills with a field goal at the end of overtime.


Packers (5-3): The injuries continue to pile up, but shutting out Jets on the road was meaningful; Pack back on pace for 10-win season.


Falcons (5-2): They quietly remain in the conversation about which team is the NFC’s best.


49ERS24, BRONCOS16


QB Troy Smith found his range in


the fourth quarter, leading San Fran- cisco to a win over Denver in the NFL’s fourth regular season game atWemb- ley Stadium in London. In his first start for the 49ers, Smith completed a 28-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree with 7:23 to go to help San Francisco take a 17-10 lead. Frank Gore scored another with 3:47 to go, running in from the 3. A few minutes earlier, Smith made it


10-10 by rushing for a 1-yard touch- down after completing back-to-back passes to DelanieWalker, the first for 27 yards and the second for 38. “Even thoughwemissedsomethings early on, I think the rhythm was put in place to make some plays later on,” Smith said. “You have to be able to keep your head down and keep even- keeled as a quarterback.” Although it rained in London for


much of the day, it was dry during the game and the conditions on theWem- bley pitch held up. As the home team, the 49ers were


able to distribute team flags to the fans. Although spectators were dressed in various NFL colors, the majoritywas cheering for San Francis- co.


Smith only found out a few days


earlier that he was going to start because usual starter Alex Smith had a separated shoulder. And Smith struggled in the first half, completing only 4 of 9 passes for 37 yards. At the end, though, he threw for 196


yards while completing 12 of 19 pass- es.


Gorehadthemostproductivedayon

The crowd atWembley Stadium in London shows its enthusiasm for the San Francisco 49ers, who played the Denver Broncos there. It was the fourth consecutive year that anNFLregular season game has been played in London. The game drewmore than 83,000 fans.


DOLPHINS22, BENGALS14


Dan Carpenter kicked five field


goals for the second straight game, and Miami made them stand up this time for a victory over Cincinnati that kept them perfect on the road.


“The plane ride home will be a nice


one,”WRBrandon Marshall said. Last week, the Dolphins (4-3) lost


after a disputed play. Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger’s touchdown that was ruled a fumble on review, but the Steelers kept the ball and kicked a field goal for a 23-22 win, offsetting Carpenter’s five field goals.


TheBengals (2-5) failed to get a first


down in the third quarter and were shut out in the second half. Their final chance ended with Carson Palmer’s interception with 2:43 to go, sending the defending AFC North champions to their fourth straight loss and a share of last place.


It’s Cincinnati’s worst start since


2008, when Palmer was sidelined with an elbow injury. “It is amazing,” said Palmer, who was 17 of 38 for 156 yards. “It’s embarrassing. It’s depress- ing. It’s every negative word you can think of that we didn’t do our job.”


Carpenter’s dependable leg has


guided Miami through an unusual start — 4-0 on the road, 0-3 at home, the fifth time that’s happened in league history, according to STATS. The last time the Dolphins won their first four road games was 2003.


CHARGERS33, TITANS25


Taking advantage of yet another mismatch, Antonio Gates got behind LB Will Witherspoon to haul in a go-ahead, 48-yard pass from Philip Rivers midway through the third quar- ter to help San Diego rally for a win against Tennessee, which lost Vince Young to another injury.


Young was hurt while scrambling


with less than six minutes to play and had to be helped off the field. Kerry Collins moved the Titans to the Char- gers 15 before Chris Johnson dropped a pass on fourth and two with 30 seconds to go.


Young had played well after return-


ing from a sprained left knee and ankle that kept him out of a win against Philadelphia a week earlier. Young completed 10 of 21 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns.


San Diego (3-5) snapped a three-


game losing streak and won its eighth straight game against the Titans dat- ing from 1993. The Titans (5-3) had their three-game winning streak snapped. San Diego is the only team Titans Coach Jeff Fisher hasn’t beat- en.


The Titans lost WR Kenny Britt to a hamstring injury in the first quarter. Chargers rookie RB Ryan Mathews suffered cuts and scrapes when his helmet came off in the third quarter, but he returned.


Gates caught his ninth TD pass this


season for a 24-19 lead. TITANS ..................................... 5 14

RAIDERS33, SEAHAWKS3


Jason Campbell and a relentless


defense gave Oakland those elusive back-to-back wins, and in emphatic fashion.


Campbell threw for 310 yards and


two touchdowns. The defense did the rest against visiting Seattle. Darren McFadden ran for 111 yards


as the Raiders reached the .500 mark this late in the season for the first time since 2002. They did it by finally putting together


back-to-back wins, a feat that had eluded them the past two seasons. Oakland had lost its last seven


games following a win; it was out- scored by an average of 17 points. This time, the Raiders followed up


their 59-point offensive outburst in Denver a week ago with a defensive masterpiece against the Seahawks (4-3).


Oakland didn’t give up a first down


until more than 27 minutes into the game and gave up just 162 yards of offense, including 47 on the ground. It was the fewest yards given up by the Raiders since 2006 and the fewest points allowed since shutting outKan- sas City in the final game of the 2002 season. The Raiders also gained 545 yards,


marking the first time in franchise history they put together back-to-back 500-yard offensive performances. Oakland has outscored the opposition 92-17 the past two weeks. It wasn’t all good news. Pro Bowl CB Nnamdi Asomugha left the game in the fourth quarter with an injured right ankle.

INJURYREPORT Pass-catchers keep on ticking after taking licks


A week after his 225-yard game, Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt injured his right hamstring and left Sunday’s game against the Chargers. Britt was hurt on a long incompletion late in the first quarter. . . . Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin injured his left ankle in the first quarter against the Patriots, but he returned in the second. Harvin was hurt on a 21-yard completion and was helped off the field by trainers. He returned and showed no problems on a 15- yard slant route . . . Packers wide receiver Donald Driver left Green Bay’s game against the Jets with a quadriceps injury. Driver missed two days of practice because of the quadriceps last week and apparently aggravated the injury in the first half. . . . Tight end Vernon Davis of the 49ers left the game in London against the Broncos with an injured ankle. Davis had been listed as questionable but played most of the first half. He had one catch for 12 yards. . . . Raiders Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha was helped off the field with an injury to his right ankle. He went down defending a deep pass to Golden Tate in the fourth quarter against the Seahawks. Asomugha was in noticeable pain on the sideline and was tended to by the training staff as the crowd chanted his name. . . . Titans quarterback Vince Young hurt his left leg and had to be helped off the field in the fourth quarter against the Chargers. Young went down while scrambling and immediately grabbed his left leg. He was replaced by Kerry Collins. . . . Bengals defensive tackle Tank Johnson left the game against the Dolphins after limping off with an injured right knee. —From news services
