Packers 31 Chargers 24
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Brett Favre's 420th career touchdown pass meant more than just drawing even with Dan Marino.
A 57-yard completion to Greg Jennings, with just over two minutes remaining, tied Marino's all-time NFL record for career TD passes and rallied the Packers past the San Diego Chargers for a 31-24 victory Sunday.
Favre finished 28-of-35 for 369 yards and three touchdowns.
The Chargers (1-2) have lost as many games as they did in the entire regular season last year.
Eagles 56 Lions 21
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Donovan McNabb threw for 381 yards and four touchdowns, Kevin Curtis had 221 yards receiving and three scores and the Eagles earned their first win. In a stunning offensive display, the Eagles (1-2) scored touchdowns on their first five possessions and had a franchise-record 42 points in the first half. It was their most points scored since a 56-17 victory at the Chicago Cardinals in 1953.
Brian Westbrook had 110 yards rushing, 111 more receiving and scored three TDs before leaving in the third quarter with injured ribs.
The Lions (2-1) failed to earn their first 3-0 start in 27 years.
Ravens 26 Cardinals 23
BALTIMORE (AP) - Kurt Warner orchestrated a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback, only to be outdone by another backup quarterback.
Kyle Boller moved the Ravens into position for Matt Stover's game-winning 46-yard field goal as time expired.
The Ravens (2-1) led 20-3 at halftime and 23-6 entering the fourth quarter but struggled in the final 15 minutes for the second straight game. Warner rallied the Cardinals (1-2) to a 23-23 tie with 1:50 left.
That left it up to Boller, who replaced injured starter Steve McNair in the fourth quarter. Boller went 5-for-5 for 32 yards, and the Ravens benefited from a questionable personal foul call on safety Adrian Wilson to get into position for Stover's kick.
Colts 30 Texans 24
HOUSTON (AP) - Joseph Addai ran for two touchdowns and Adam Vinatieri added three field goals to lead the Colts (3-0) past the injury-ravaged and mistake-prone Texans.
