Collins, Titans subdue Texans

Tennessee improves to 3-0

LenDale White ran for two touchdowns, Kerry Collins threw for another, and Tennessee rolled past Houston 31-12 in Nashville, Tenn., to improve to 3-0 for only the third time in franchise history.

The Texans (0-2) wanted to provide an emotional boost to their hometown, where most people remain without power more than a week after Hurricane Ike hit. The hurricane forced the postponement of the Texans' home opener.

Collins started his second straight game with Vince Young watching, and the 14-year veteran threw for 189 yards, making him the 15th NFL quarterback with at least 35,000 yards passing.

BUCCANEERS 27, BEARS 24 (OT): Brian Griese set up Matt Bryant's winning 21-yard field goal in overtime with a 38-yard pass to Antonio Bryant in Chicago.

After blowing a 14-point lead in a 20-17 loss at Carolina last week, the Bears (1-2) couldn't protect a 24-14 advantage in the fourth quarter.

The Buccaneers (2-1) got a 35-yard field goal from Bryant with 3:11 left, and Griese orchestrated a 79-yard touchdown drive in the final 1:49, hitting Jerramy Stevens with a 1-yard pass in the closing seconds of regulation.

BILLS 24, RAIDERS 23: The host Bills overcame a sloppy start to produce a second straight fourth-quarter comeback victory.

Rian Lindell hit a 38-yard field goal as the clock ran out. Trent Edwards engineered three scoring drives in the final quarter, helping the Bills twice overcome 9-point deficits in the last 8 minutes.

Edwards finished 24-of-39 for 279 yards and a touchdown a week after he rallied the Bills to a 20-16 win at Jacksonville. That the victory came against the hard-luck and dysfunctional Raiders (1-2) didn't matter for a Bills team off to its first 3-0 start since 1992.

FALCONS 38, CHIEFS 14: Michael Turner ran for three touchdowns, and the Falcons (2-1) scored the first 24 points, giving the visiting Chiefs their 12th straight loss.

Tyler Thigpen, the third starting quarterback in three weeks for Kansas City (0-3), threw three interceptions in his first career start.

SEAHAWKS 37, RAMS 13: Julius Jones ran for 140 yards on 22 carries, and T.J. Duckett had his first two-touchdown rushing day in four years as host Seattle sidestepped six injuries at wide receiver and rolled over visiting St. Louis.

Despite a mostly disastrous September, Seattle (1-2) headed into its off week with the promise of a return to health while just one game out of the NFC West lead.

The Rams (0-3) lost for the 16th time and 19 games. They have been outscored 116-29 this season.

49ERS 31, LIONS 13: Frank Gore rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown, and Mike Martz's new offense methodically chewed up his former team's defense in host San Francisco's victory.

O'Sullivan went 16-for-23 for 189 yards for the 49ers (2-1), who went 3-10 after their promising start to last season. But the current Niners clearly have more offensive talent -- and a much better idea what to do with it, thanks to Martz, who joined San Francisco a few days after Detroit fired him as the scapegoat for the Lions' second-half collapse.

RAVENS 28, BROWNS 10: Baltimore turned two of Derek Anderson's interceptions into a pair of TDs during a 50-second span of the third quarter, and the host Ravens stayed unbeaten.

Ed Reed returned one of the interceptions 32 yards for a score, and Le'Ron McClain scored his first two NFL touchdowns on a pair of 1-yard runs -- both during a 21-point third quarter that turned a 3-point halftime deficit into a 28-10 lead.
