| On the game's final play, with Atlanta at the Pittsburgh 5 and two seconds on the clock, Falcons QB Chris Chandler fired behind WR Tim Dwight in the end zone, preserving the Steelers' four-point win. |
Earl Holmes (10 tackles, six solo) and Levon Kirkland (8 tackles, 6 solo, 1 sack), the inside linebackers in the Steelers' 3-4 scheme, can fight over it. Don't try to break it up. |

| Cowboys PR Deion Sanders came back from a concussion and returned a punt 70-yard for a touchdown, giving Dallas an 18-point lead with a little more than nine minutes remaining. The contact-shy Sanders also had four tackles on the day. |
Cowboys QB Troy Aikman. While Sanders showed some toughness, Aikman was a constant throughout. The accurate passer hit 20 of his 32 throws for 244 yards and two TDs. He also ran for a 1-yard TD early in the fourth quarter. |

Vikings RB Leroy Hoard, While most of the attention was focused on Jeff George, the other new starter in Minnesota's backfield had a great day. Hoard ran 17 times for 105 yards and the game's first TD. |

| The Broncos elected to try a 59-yard field goal with 1:40 remaining rather than go for it on fourth-and-7 from the Patriots' 40. Jason Elam's kick fell well short, and New England beat Denver for the first time since 1980. |
Patriots RB Terry Allen. New England entered the day with the NFL's 27th-ranked rushing offense, but Allen helped the Pats dominate on the ground. He ran for a season-high 106 yards and two touchdowns. |

| Raiders QB Rich Gannon hit James Jett for a 5-yard TD pass with 26 seconds remaining, capping an 11-play, 90-yard drive
in the final two minutes. The Jets, who blew a 17-point lead, were then intercepted on the first play of their final possession. |
Gannon. The Oakland QB was brilliant over the final 16 minutes, engineering three scoring drives. Overall, he completed 26
of 51 passes for 352 yards and two TDs. He threw for 267 of those yards in the second half alone and also rushed five times for 60 yards. |

| Trailing 26-16, Doug Flutie drove Buffalo to the Seattle 36 with a little more than five minutes left. No miracle finish this time: Michael Sinclair sacked Flutie and Sam Adams recovered Flutie's fumble at the 45, putting the Seahawks in position to run down the clock. |
Seahawks QB Jon Kitna, who continues to improve under Mike Holmgren's guidance. The third-year pro from Central Washington completed 17 of 30 passes for 276 yards, two TDs -- both to Derrick Mayes -- and no interceptions. |

| Packers QB Brett Favre engineered a 99-yard, 14-play drive to give Green Bay a 28-3 lead with three seconds left in the third quarter. Favre capped the march with a 3-yard TD pass to Antonio Freeman and then soon took a seat on the bench. |
The Packers secondary -- or maybe the Chargers QBs are just that bad. Either way, Green Bay intercepted six passes, including two for Tyrone Williams. Darren Sharper, Mike McKenzie, Antuan Edwards and Fred Vinson had one pick apiece. |
Packers (4-2) vs. Seahawks (4-2).
Chargers (4-2) at Chiefs (4-2). |

two scores. Both TDs came in the third quarter and broke open a 10-9 game. |

right, enabling the Dolphins to preserve the win by running out the clock. |
Dolphins K Olindo Mare. He went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts to run his streak to 17. Mare hit twice from 37 yards

Marshall Faulk, who totaled 200 yards and a TD on 16 carries and nine receptions. |

seconds remaining. The Bears had a chance to win or tie the game after getting the ball with 1:43 left. |
