Rams 30, Redskins 16
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Sam Bradford has his first NFL win. The rookie quarterback threw for 235 yards and a touchdown and backup running back Kenneth Darby had the go-ahead score to help St. Louis end a 14-game home losing streak.
Bradford, the No. 1 overall draft pick, was 23 for 37 and completed passes to nine receivers. He had one interception. The Rams (1-2) won for only the second time in 29 games.
Santana Moss had six catches for 124 yards and a score for Washington (1-2), but also lost a fumble in the first half that led to a St. Louis touchdown. Donovan McNabb was 19 of 32 for 236 yards.
Seahawks 27, Chargers 20
SEATTLE (AP) -- Leon Washington returned two second-half kickoffs for touchdowns of 101 and 99 yards, making up for a long list of Seattle mistakes.
Washington took the opening kickoff of the second half 101 yards to give Seattle a 17-0 lead. Phillip Rivers threw for a career-high 455 yards and brought the Chargers (1-2) back, tying the game at 20 on a 12-yard throw to Antonio Gates and a 2-point conversion to Legedu Naanee with 6:39 left.
Fifteen seconds later, Seattle (2-1) was back in front, thanks to Washington.
Cardinals 24, Raiders 23
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Sebastian Janikowski missed a 32-yard field goal as the game ended, allowing Arizona to escape in a game littered with mistakes by both teams.
The wide-left kick came after a pass interference call against Arizona's Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Janikowski missed two others in the game, a 41-yarder and a 58-yarder. Both were wide right.
LaRod Stephens-Howling returned the opening kickoff 102 yards for a TD for Arizona (2-1) and Derek Anderson threw for two scores, including an 8-yarder to Larry Fitzgerald that proved to be the game winner.
Oakland (1-2) committed 11 penalties for 123 yards, Arizona seven for 104.
Patriots 38, Bills 30
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Tom Brady threw three touchdown passes, two to Randy Moss, and New England (2-1) topped Buffalo (0-3) for the 14th straight time.
First-round draft pick C.J. Spiller scored his first NFL touchdowns on a 5-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick and a 95-yard kickoff return. But Buffalo's last chance faded when Fitzpatrick -- who started in place of Trent Edwards -- threw an interception to Brandon Meriweather with 3 minutes left.
New England took a 17-16 lead at intermission on Stephen Gostkowski's 43-yard field goal on the last play of the half.
Bengals 20, Panthers 7
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Carson Palmer shook off two interceptions to throw a clinching touchdown pass to Cedric Benson midway through the fourth quarter as Cincinnati spoiled Jimmy Clausen's first NFL start.
Cincinnati (2-1) snapped a five-game road losing streak despite a rash of turnovers and penalties. But the Panthers (0-3) couldn't take advantage, with Clausen throwing for 188 yards and Carolina committing four turnovers.
Ravens 24, Browns 17
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Anquan Boldin caught three touchdown passes from Joe Flacco and Baltimore rallied for the win. Boldin made himself right at home in Baltimore (2-1), catching eight passes for 142 yards.
After a career-high four interceptions last week in a loss to Cincinnati, Flacco went 22 for 31 for 262 yards without an interception. He had six turnovers in his first two games.
Not only did Boldin reach 600 career receptions quicker than anyone in NFL history, but he caught TD passes of 8, 12 and 27 yards.
Peyton Hillis ran 22 times for a career-high 144 yards and a TD for the Browns (0-3).
Titans 29, Giants 10
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Chris Johnson ran for 125 yards and two touchdowns, Vince Young threw for a TD and the Tennessee defense forced three turnovers.
The victory was the 10th straight against an NFC opponent for the Titans (2-1) and their fifth straight over the Giants (1-2).
The Giants missed two field goals; had two drives inside the Titans 6-yard line end in turnovers; gave Tennessee a safety with a chop block in the end zone; and committed five personal fouls.
