10/14/2013 Niners long TD drive seals Cardinals fate From Elias: The 49ers defeated the Cardinals, 32-20. But the key to San Franciscos victory was an 18-play touchdown drive that increased its lead to 29-20 in the fourth quarter, taking 9 minutes, 32 seconds off the clock. That was San Franciscos longest TD drive (in plays) since they drove 18 plays behind Steve Young ¿ in relief of Joe Montana ¿ for their final points in a 38-7 win over the Seahawks 25 years ago (Sept. 25, 1988). Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers null Wilson Wilson stays perfect at home From Elias: Russell Wilson remained undefeated at CenturyLink Field as the Seahawks defeated the Titans, 20-13. Wilson has won all 11 of his home starts for Seattle, the longest such streak to start a QBs NFL career since Mark Bulger won his first 14 starts at home for the Rams (2002-04). Tennessee Titans, Seattle Seahawks null Welker Moreno lights up the scoreboard in Denver From Elias: The Broncos improved their record to 6-0 with a 35-19 win over the winless Jaguars, behind three touchdowns by Knowshon Moreno. It was the first time that a teammate ran for three TDs in a game started by Peyton Manning since Joseph Addai scored four times for the Colts in a 45-21 win over the Eagles in 2006. Wes Welker scored one of Denvers other touchdowns becoming the first player in NFL history to score a TD in each of his first six games for a team. Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars null Foles Foles posts his second W, both at the New Sombrero From Elias: Nick Foles threw three touchdown passes and ran for another in the Eagles 31-20 win over the Bucs. Foles has a 2-5 record as a starting quarterback and both wins have come at Raymond James Stadium. He is the first visiting QB in NFL history to start and win at Tampa as both a rookie and a second-year player. Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers null Lewis Lewis rallies Bills to overtime, but they lose to Bengals From Elias: The Bengals posted a 27-24 overtime victory at Buffalo, but only after Thaddeus Lewis threw a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown passes to tie the game. No Bills quarterback had erased a double-digit deficit with two TD passes in the fourth quarter since Drew Bledsoe did it against the Jets in 2004. Incidentally, just as Mike Nugent gave the Bengals a win on Sunday, Doug Brien kicked a late field goal to give the Jets a victory in that 2004 game. Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals null Folk Steelers keep Jets out of the end zone From Elias: Shaun Suisham won a first-half battle of field goals against Nick Folk, and Ben Roethlisberger threw a 55-yard second-half touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders as the Steelers defeated the Jets, 19-6. It was the first game in either of the last two seasons in which Pittsburgh didnt allow a TD. The Steelers had the most such games in the NFL during Mike Tomlins first five seasons as head coach (15 from 2007 through 2011). New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers null Pryor Pryor sacked 10 times in loss to Chiefs From Elias: The Chiefs sacked Terrelle Pryor 10 times in a 24-7 victory over the Raiders. No other active player on a current NFL roster has suffered 10 sacks in one game. (Greg McElroy, who is on the Bengals practice squad, was sacked 10 times by the Chargers while playing for the Jets last season.) Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders
