Up next |
| The Broncos failed to pick up a first down on either of their two drives in the final 4:08. Both possessions were derailed by sacks, and the final march ended when Brian Griese's pass for Rod Smith fell incomplete on fourth-and-14 from the Broncos' 11 with 1:35 left. |
The Bucs defense. The NFL's top-ranked defense dominated the world champs, holding them to 173 total yards. Broncos RB Terrell Davis was limited to 53 yards on 19 carries, and Tampa Bay had an interception and two sacks of Griese. |

Up next |
| Packers QB Brett Favre got his hands on the ball with 1:51 left and Green Bay trailing by four points. That was more than enough time for Favre to lead a seven-play, 77-yard drive that culminated in his 23-yard TD pass to Corey Bradford with 12 seconds left. |
Who else could it be? Favre led his second magical drive in three weeks. He completed six of seven passes on the march and delivered a perfect pass on the game-winner. With John Elway retired, Favre has now taken the mantle as the game's best comeback QB. |
Packers (2-1) bye.
Vikings (1-2) vs. Bucs (2-1). |

Titans QB Neil O'Donnell. Filling in for the injured Steve McNair, O'Donnell proved he's still a capable starter. He completed 17 of 32 passes for 204 yards and two TDs, including the game-winning, 12-yard TD toss to Michael Roan with 3:26 left. |
Titans (3-0) at 49ers (2-1).

Warner. The Rams QB, who became the starter when Trent Green was lost for the season with a knee injury, completed 17 of
25 passes for 275 yards and three TDs. He also rushed for a score. |

| It was over when ... |
Game ball goes to ... |
Up next |
| The Seahawks scored 14 points before their offense had even touched the ball. Merton Hanks' 23-yard interception return for a TD, and Charlie Rogers' 94-yard punt return made it 14-0 just 3:20 into the game. That was more than enough on a day the Steelers threw five interceptions. |
Seattle's defense and special teams. The Seahawks offense generated only five field goals, but it didn't matter because Pittsburgh was plagued by turnovers and poor field position. Five different Seattle DBs picked off passes, returning them for a combined 81 yards. |
Seahawks (2-1) vs. Raiders (2-1).
Steelers (2-1) vs. Jaguars (2-1). |

Up next |
| Leading 19-0 midway through the third quarter, the Bills drove 60 yards in eight plays for their final score -- a four-yard
TD run by Antowain Smith. At that point, any realistic hope of an Eagles comeback faded. |
Bills K Steve Christie. In a game where one field goal would have been enough to win, Christie kicked four. He went
3-for-3 in the first quarter from distances of 24, 29 and 19 yards. He later added a 36-yarder. |
