The San Diego Chargers rolled to their fifth consecutive win on Sunday afternoon, drubbing AFC West division rival Kansas City 43-14.

The Chargers (8-3) broke a 7-7 tie with three touchdowns in the second quarter.

The third major came when Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel fumbled on a sack. Paul Oliver returned the fumble 40 yards to the end zone.

LaDainian Tomlinson ran for two scores for San Diego, and quarterback Philip Rivers found tight end Antonio Gates twice for touchdowns. Rivers has thrown 12 touchdowns with just three interceptions during the team's winning streak.

Tomlinson only gained 39 yards but he passed both Marcus Allen and Edgerring James to move to 10th on the NFL's all-time rushing yards list, with 12,257.

The Chargers also scored on a safety and a pair of Nate Kaeding field goals.

Cassel threw to Chris Chambers for the short-lived tie, with Jamaal Charles rushing for a third quarter touchdown for Kansas City (3-8).

Chicago 10 at Minnesota 36

Brett Favre continued to star for the Vikings, throwing for three touchdowns and 387 yards. The 40-year-old quarterback has 24 touchdown passes and just three interceptions through 11 games.

Percy Harvin, Chester Taylor and Visanthe Shiancoe caught the scoring passes for Minnesota (10-1). Running back Adrian Peterson added a rushing score.

Jay Cutler found Johnny Knox for a touchdown that made the score 7-7 in the second quarter, but the Vikings soon took over. Cutler threw interceptions on consecutive drives, giving him a league-leading 20 interceptions.

Chicago dropped to 4-7.

Tennessee 20 at Arizona 17

Titans quarterback Vince Young completed a trio fourth-down passes on a 99-yard drive, including on the final play to Kenny Britt for a game-winning 10-yard score.

Britt atoned for an earlier play in the fourth, when he fumbled the ball after a 51-yard reception.

Young completed 27 of 43 passes for 387 yards with no interceptions for Tennessee (5-6), winners of five straight. Young has won the last nine games he's started, although the streak is spread over three seasons.

Matt Leinart played at quarterback for the Cardinals (7-4), as Kurt Warner was experiencing blurred vision after a hard hit last week.

Both teams struggled in the passing game, but the third quarter saw a pair of big plays 12 seconds apart. Titans running back Chris Johnson broke loose for an 85-yard scoring run, but on the next kickoff, LaRod Stephens-Howling returned it 99 yards for a score.

Tim Hightower rushed for a touchdown in the fourth to put the Cardinals up before the Titans rallied.

Johnson tied an NFL record also shared by Earl Campbell and Eric Dickerson by rushing a sixth straight game for at least 125 yards. He finished with 154 yards on 18 carries.

Jacksonville 3 at San Francisco 20

Alex Smith threw short touchdown passes to Frank Gore and Vernon Davis to lead San Francisco (5-6), with Joe Nedney adding two field goals.

Smith now has 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions since taking over the starter's job six games ago, with Sunday the first time this season he avoided an interception.

The Jaguars (5-6) lost for the first time in four games, a blow to their playoff fortunes in the AFC. Quarterback David Garrard completed 25 of 36 passes for 307 yards, but also fumbled twice.

With the result, Indianapolis clinched the AFC South Division.

Washington 24 at Philadelphia 27

The Philadelphia Eagles enjoyed another fourth-quarter comeback.

David Akers kicked a 32-yard field goal with 1:48 remaining and the Eagles rallied for a 27-24 victory over the Washington Redskins.

A week ago, Donovan McNabb led the Eagles (7-4) to a late touchdown in a 24-20 win at Chicago. It was the first time Philadelphia came from behind in the final quarter and won since a 33-25 victory at Washington on Nov. 11, 2007.

The Eagles remain one game behind Dallas in the NFC East. The Redskins fell to 3-8.

Cleveland 7 at Cincinnati 16

With newcomer Larry Johnson leading the way, the Bengals ran the table in the AFC North by running all over the Cleveland Browns.

Johnson rushed for 107 yards and Cincinnati completed its first division sweep with a 16-7 victory in their one-sided state rivalry.

The Bengals (8-3) went 6-0 in the division with a retooled run-first offence and a stout defence that has carried them into first place.

The Browns (1-10) reached double-digit losses for the eighth time in their 11 years as an expansion team.

Miami 14 at Buffalo 31

Terrell Owens caught a 51-yard touchdown pass with 2:23 left to propel the Buffalo Bills to a 31-14 win over the Miami Dolphins and give interim coach Perry Fewell his first victory.

Fewell replaced Dick Jauron two games ago.

Before Owens's score, Rian Lindell kicked a career-best 56-yard field goal with 3:35 left that put the Bills ahead for the first time at 17-14.

When Owens scored, he mimicked Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter's sack celebration by pretending to kick dirt in the end zone.

Buffalo (4-7) ended a three-game losing streak while the Dolphins (5-6) dropped under .500.

Fred Jackson ran for 73 yards and scored two touchdowns for the Bills, who host the New York Jets at Toronto's Rogers Centre on Thursday.

Ricky Williams had 115 yards rushing and a touchdown but the Dolphins couldn't overcome Chad Henne's three interceptions.

Tampa Bay 17 at Atlanta 20

Chris Redman threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Roddy White with 23 seconds remaining, and the Atlanta Falcons pulled out a 20-17 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The victory came despite losing offensive stars Matt Ryan and Michael Turner to injuries.

The Falcons (6-5) were in deep trouble after Jason Elam missed another field goal try, this one from 43 yards, and the Bucs (1-10) drove into Atlanta territory.

But Connor Barth just missed on a 51-yard try with 2:30 left, giving the Falcons one more chance.

Redman, who took over after Ryan injured his right big toe on Atlanta's first series, calmly directed a 59-yard drive.

Carolina 6 at New York Jets 17

Darrelle Revis got the Jets' defence in the end zone for the first time this season and helped New York keep its slim playoff hopes alive.

Revis returned one of the Jets' four interceptions 67 yards for a touchdown and New York overcame an injury scare to quarterback Mark Sanchez before holding on to beat the Carolina Panthers 17-6.

Thomas Jones had a three-yard touchdown run as the Jets (5-6) won at home for the first time since beating Tennessee in Week 3, sending the Panthers (4-7) to their second straight loss.

Seattle 27 at St. Louis 17

Justin Forsett set career highs with 130 yards and two touchdowns and the go-ahead score came on Seattle's third defensive touchdown of the season in a 27-17 victory over the St. Louis Rams.

Seattle (4-7) had been 0-5 on the road but ended the drought against the Rams (1-10), who have lost 11 in a row at home.

Olindo Mare added field goals of 29 and 38 yards, tying the franchise record of 16 in a row shared by Rams kicker Josh Brown.

The announced attendance of 47,475 was their worst in 15 seasons in St. Louis.
