Michael Turner (33 yards on 12 carries prior to an injury) and Jerious Norwood (22 yards) were limited by Tampa Bay?s defense. Josh Freeman threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Buccaneers to a 17-13 lead entering the fourth quarter. Cadillac Williams (10 attempts for 30 yards) and Derrick Ward (13 touches for 29 yards) struggled just like their counterparts at the Georgia Dome. San Francisco 20, Jacksonville 3 Team Trench Counter: 49ers +0.8, Jaguars -0.8 The San Francisco 49ers (5-6) scored 14 points in the second quarter as they knocked off the Jacksonville Jaguars (6-5) at Candlestick Park.

Chris Johnson excelled once again, rushing 18 times for 154 yards and a score. Matt Leinart, starting in place of the injured Kurt Warner, went 21-for-31 with 220 yards. Tim Hightower (55 yards and a touchdown) and Chris ?Beanie? Wells (20 yards) weren?t overly productive, which didn?t help Leinart?s cause. Arizona got some help on special teams, with LaRod Stephens-Howling returning a kick 99 yards in the third quarter. Minnesota 36, Chicago 10 Team Trench Counter: Vikings +20.3, Bears -20.3 The Minnesota Vikings (10-1) exploded for 24 points in the second quarter in their route of the Chicago Bears (4-7) on Sunday.

Eli Manning tossed for 384 yards, three touchdowns and an interception at home. The Giants were limited on the ground, Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw combined to run for just 73 yards and a score, but Manning?s aerial attack was just enough. Mario Manningham led New York in receiving with six catches for 126 yards. Matt Ryan played well, going 26-for-46 with 268 yards and two scores, but Atlanta?s defense couldn?t stop Manning from posting his first-ever 300-yard effort at Giants Stadium. Jason Snelling, filling in for the injured Michael Turner, totaled 76 yards and two touchdowns, and Tony Gonzalez recorded eight catches for 82 yards and a score. The Giants won the toss and the game on a 36-yard field goal by Lawrence Tynes.

Green Bay 30, San Francisco 24 Team Trench Counter: Packers +4, 49ers -4 The San Francisco 49ers (4-6) made things interesting, but couldn?t complete a comeback against the Green Bay Packers (6-4) at Lambeau Field.

Greg Jennings was Green Bay?s third offensive star, grabbing five balls for 129 yards and a score.

Alex Smith finished with 227 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, while Frank Gore ran the ball just seven times for 59 yards. San Francisco was forced to throw the ball early after falling behind 23-6 in the first half.

Kevin Smith had 149 total yards and a score, while Calvin Johnson led Detroit in receiving with seven catches for 161 yards and a score. Brady Quinn had his best afternoon in the NFL, going 21-for-33 with 304 yards and four touchdowns, but Cleveland?s defense couldn?t back up the young quarterback.

Dallas 7, Washington 6 Team Trench Counter: Cowboys -2.4, Redskins +2.4 Held scoreless for nearly the whole game, the Dallas Cowboys (7-3) defeated the Washington Redskins (3-7) on a late touchdown. Tony Romo found Patrick Crayton in the end zone for a 10-yard score with just 2:41 remaining in regulation. Marion Barber had 99 yards and Felix Jones added 49 yards in the victory.

Pierre Garcon led the Colts in receiving with six catches for 108 yards, while Dallas Clark?s one-handed, three-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter made highlight shows around the country. The Ravens had a chance to hand the Colts their first loss of the season, but Joe Flacco was intercepted by linebacker Gary Brackett on what could have been Baltimore?s game-winning drive. Flacco had 256 yards and an interception and the Ravens? offense stalled often. They settled for five field goals, despite forcing three Indianapolis turnovers. Derrick Mason had nine catches for 142 yards in the loss. Arizona 21, St. Louis 13 Team Trench Counter: Cardinals +10.9, Rams -10.9 Kurt Warner left in the second quarter with an apparent head injury, but the Arizona Cardinals (7-3) had enough to get past the St. Louis Rams (1-9).

Tim Hightower (110 yards on 14 carries) and Beanie Wells (74 yards and a score on 14 touches) helped Arizona dominate on the ground. As usual, Larry Fitzgerald (87 yards and a touchdown) and Anquan Boldin (103 yards and a score) led in receiving. Marc Bulger went 19-for-37 with 215 yards and an interception.

New England 31, N.Y. Jets 14 Team Trench Counter: Patriots +16.6, Jets -16.6 In the wake of their controversial loss to the Colts last week, the New England Patriots (7-3) thumped the New York Jets (4-6) at Gillette Stadium. Tom Brady had 310 yards and a touchdown, while New England?s defense atoned for the miscues last Sunday night. Laurence Maroney rushed for 77 yards and two scores on 22 touches in the win. Wes Welker had a career-day, catching 15 passes for 192 yards. Leigh Bodden had three picks, including one for a touchdown in the game. Mark Sanchez continues to look like a rookie. He went 8-for-21 with 136 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. Thomas Jones rushed for 103 yards, but was New York?s only real offensive stud. Jerricho Cotchery connected with Sanchez three times for 84 yards and a touchdown. The Jets? other score come on a four-yard blocked punt return by Brad Smith. San Diego 32, Denver 3 Team Trench Counter: Chargers +15.6, Broncos -15.6 The San Diego Chargers (7-3) dominated the Denver Broncos (6-4) to gain control in the AFC West.

LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown and Mike Tolbert added 58 yards and another score on just seven carries. San Diego?s defense had three sacks. Chris Simms started the game, but was replaced by the hobbled Kyle Orton after going 2-for-4 with 10 yards and a fumble in very limited duty. Orton finished with 171 yards and an interception. Knowshon Moreno (80 yards) and Correll Buckhalter (35 yards) played well, but a fumble by Moreno ended what looked like a sure touchdown drive by Denver. After starting 6-0, the Broncos have lost four straight games. Philadelphia 24, Chicago 20 Team Trench Counter: Eagles +2.6, Bears -2.6 The Philadelphia Eagles (6-4) got all the key plays they needed in the fourth quarter as they beat the reeling Chicago Bears (4-6) on Sunday night.
