Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre tries to get away from Philadelphia's Joselio Hanson (22) and Takeo Spikes (51). The Packers won, 16-13, and Favre tied John Elway's record with his 148th victory as a starting quarterback Sunday in Green Bay, Wis.

New England's Randy Moss reaches forward as he is tackled by New York Jets' Darrelle Revis. Moss racked up 183 yards and a touchdown in his Patriots debut Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J.

Packers 16, Eagles 13

Green Bay, Wis. – Rookie kicker Mason Crosby’s 42-yard field goal with two seconds left lifted Green Bay.

The Packers benefited from a second major mistake by the Eagles’ special teams, when J.R. Reed bobbled a punt with 59 seconds remaining. Green Bay’s Jarrett Bush recovered at the Philadelphia 31.

Reed had replaced returner Greg Lewis, whose muffed punt led to a Packers touchdown in the first quarter.

Brett Favre struggled with a young supporting cast on offense for most of the afternoon, but still was able to tie John Elway’s record with his 148th career victory as a starting quarterback.

It also was the 37th time Favre led the Packers from a fourth-quarter tie or deficit to a victory.

Patriots 38, Jets 14

East Rutherford, N.J. – Randy Moss, who missed most of camp due to a hamstring injury, caught nine passes from Tom Brady for 183 yards and a touchdown in his New England debut.

Ellis Hobbs set an NFL record by taking the second-half kickoff 108 yards for a score.

Moss, obtained for a fourth-round choice in a draft-day trade with Oakland, had two miserable years with the Raiders after being a perennial Pro Bowl receiver with Minnesota. He and Brady established an immediate connection, even with the receiver’s missed time in training camp.

Broncos 15, Bills 14

Orchard Park, N.Y. – Jason Elam hit a 42-yard field goal just before time expired to lift Denver.

Elam, who missed two field-goal attempts earlier, almost didn’t have a chance to make up for those. The Broncos were out of timeouts when Jay Cutler hit Javon Walker for an 11-yard catch with 14 seconds left.

Rather than spiking the ball to stop the clock, the Broncos’ field-goal unit rushed onto the field and got the snap off just in time.

Redskins 16, Dolphins 13

Landover, Md. – Shaun Suisham kicked a 39-yard field goal 5:36 into overtime to spoil the NFL head-coaching debut of Miami’s Cam Cameron.

The Redskins won the coin toss to start overtime and drove 58 yards in 10 plays, all but two runs by Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts. Portis, who missed the entire preseason because of knee tendinitis, ran nine yards to Miami’s 22 to set up Suisham’s kick, which came on first down.

Titans 13, Jaguars 10

Jacksonville, Fla. – Chris Brown ran for 175 yards, Vince Young and LenDale White combined for another 88 on the ground, and Tennessee ran roughshod over Jacksonville.

Brown found big holes in Jacksonville’s vaunted defense. Most of his big runs came up the middle as Tennessee’s offensive line manhandled Pro Bowl tackles Marcus Stroud and John Henderson.

Tennessee finished with 282 yards rushing, a franchise record for both teams.

Steelers 34, Browns 7

Cleveland – Ben Roethlisberger threw a career-high four touchdown passes, and Pittsburgh cruised in Mike Tomlin’s NFL coaching debut.

Willie Parker rushed for 109 yards as the Steelers started the Tomlin Era with the kind of bruising victory that typified former coach Bill Cowher’s tenure in the Steel City.

The Steelers pounced on mistakes by the bumbling Browns to open a 17-0 lead in the first quarter.

Roethlisberger went 12-of-23 for 161 yards. He threw two TD passes in the first quarter and two more in the third period for the Steelers.

The Browns have lost eight in a row and 14 of 15 to Pittsburgh.

Panthers 27, Rams 13

St. Louis – Steve Smith outsprinted Tye Hill on a 68-yard catch for the go-ahead play in Carolina’s victory. As Smith eased into the end zone, Hill stumbled and then slid on his stomach for several yards. Smith had seven catches for 118 yards.

The Rams’ decision to give featured back Steven Jackson the preseason off backfired. Jackson lost two fumbles on consecutive carries in the third quarter, equaling his season total from last season.

The first fumble negated a scoring opportunity, with Julius Peppers recovering at the Carolina 26. The Rams’ defense saved Jackson on the second fumble, with hits by Brandon Chillar and Corey Chavous stripping DeShaun Foster at the St. Louis three.

Vikings 24, Falcons 3

Minneapolis – Somewhere, Michael Vick must have been shaking his head.

The Minnesota defense overwhelmed Atlanta’s Joey Harrington with six sacks and two interception returns for touchdowns, and rookie running back Adrian Peterson finished off the Falcons.

Kevin Williams returned an interception 54 yards for a first-quarter score, and Antoine Winfield ran one back 14 yards in the fourth quarter for Minnesota. Peterson made an amazing catch out of the backfield that he turned into a 60-yard touchdown and finished with 103 yards rushing on 19 carries after starter Chester Taylor hurt his hip.

Lions 36, Raiders 21

Oakland, Calif. – Jon Kitna threw a go-ahead, 32-yard touchdown pass to Shaun McDonald with 4:15 remaining, and Dewayne White forced two late turnovers that helped Detroit rally after blowing a 17-point lead.

The matchup between the NFL’s two worst teams from a year ago turned highly entertaining in the second half when former Lions backup quarterback Josh McCown led the Raiders on three touchdown drives to turn a 17-0 deficit into a 21-20 Oakland lead with 7:43 to go.

Then Kitna took over and spoiled Lane Kiffin’s coaching debut in Oakland. Kitna completed four of five passes for 67 yards on the game-winning drive, capping it with his third touchdown pass of the game.

Chargers 14, Bears 3

San Diego – LaDainian Tomlinson and San Diego finally took control of a sloppy season opener, with the reigning NFL MVP throwing for one touchdown and rushing for another in a win over Chicago.

The Bears, who topped the NFC last year at 13-3 before losing in the Super Bowl to Indianapolis, were nothing short of brutal with four turnovers. Two of them set up the game’s only two touchdowns.

Seahawks 20,

Buccaneers 6

Seattle – Shaun Alexander, playing pain-free for the first time since he broke his foot 12 months ago, ran for 105 yards and one touchdown in a victory over Tampa Bay.

Matt Hasselbeck was sharp in his first game following a mediocre season that included two broken fingers. He went 17-for-24 for 222 yards and threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Maurice Morris to clinch the victory.

Cowboys 45, Giants 35

Irving, Texas – Marion Barber got things rolling with an 18-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-one, Terrell Owens added two highlight-reel touchdown catches, and Tony Romo made up for an interception with a 51-yard touchdown pass to Sam Hurd.

Romo threw for a career-high 345 yards and four touchdowns, plus ran for another, helping the Cowboys match the most points they ever scored in four years under Bill Parcells. Jason Witten had six catches for 116 yards and a touchdown for Dallas.

However, Phillips’ supposedly improved defense gave up 438 yards and lots of big plays, turning a potential blowout into a nail-biter.
