NFL SCORES -- WEEK 4

MNF: Miami Dolphins at New Orleans Saints, 8:40 p.m.

Preview | Video

After getting the best of Andrew Luck and Matt Ryan the past two weeks, Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins are cautiously optimistic about their next -- and perhaps most difficult -- test of the early season against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.

New England Patriots 30, Atlanta Falcons 23

That's more like it, Tom Brady. After struggling for three weeks to get in sync with his new receivers, Brady threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns in his best outing of the season for the unbeaten Patriots, who held off a furious Falcons comeback on Sunday night.

Denver Broncos 52, Philadelphia Eagles 20

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

The Broncos scored more points than they ever had in their 54-year history Sunday, blowing out the Eagles behind Peyton Manning's four touchdown throws. Manning's 16 TD passes are the most in the first month of a season, besting the previous mark of 14 set by Don Meredith in 1966 and tied by Kurt Warner in 1999.

Washington Redskins 24, Oakland Raiders 14

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

Robert Griffin III threw a go-ahead touchdown pass late in the third quarter to help the Redskins overcome an early 14-point deficit for their first win of the season. The much-maligned Washington defense allowed the Raiders (1-3) no more points after falling behind 14-0, taking advantage of an offense that was without starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor the entire game and starting running backs Darren McFadden and Marcel Reece for most of it.

San Diego Chargers 30, Dallas Cowboys 21

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

Philip Rivers threw for 401 yards and three touchdowns, including a 56-yarder to Antonio Gates, and the Chargers rallied to beat the Cowboys. The Chargers (2-2) had blown late leads in their two losses this season. Sunday, they scored the final 20 points to beat Dallas (2-2).

Tennessee Titans 38, New York Jets 13

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

Jake Locker threw a career-high three touchdowns before being taken to the hospital with an injured right hip, as the Titans notched their second straight victory. Locker was hurt early in the third quarter when hit first by Muhammad Wilkerson after throwing an incomplete pass, then popped by Quinton Coples. But the Jets did their part in the loss, with Geno Smith even giving his take on the infamous "butt fumble."

Detroit Lions 40, Chicago Bears 32

Full recap| Stats | Video highlights

Reggie Bush's 37-yard touchdown run helped Detroit score 27 points in the second quarter and he accounted for 173 yards of offense to help the Lions beat the Bears. Detroit (3-1) moved into a first-place tie with Chicago (3-1) in the NFC North.

Kansas City Chiefs 31, New York Giants 7

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

Alex Smith threw three touchdown passes, Dexter McCluster returned a punt 89 yards for another score and the unbeaten Chiefs plunged the Giants to 0-4. They are the second team to go from a two-win season to 4-0 the next year. The Giants, who trailed only 17-7 after three quarters, are 0-4 for the first time since 1987.

Seattle Seahawks 23, Houston Texans 20 (OT)

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

Steven Hauschka kicked a 45-yard field goal in overtime to give the Seahawks their first 4-0 start in franchise history. Houston (2-2) failed to score on two possessions in overtime. The Seahawks got the win on their second drive in overtime after rallying from a 20-3 deficit. Almost nothing went right for Seattle early -- except this crazy interception. More from SN's David Steele: Seahawks prove why they're Super Bowl-bound.

Arizona Cardinals 13, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

Carson Palmer threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald, then Jay Feely kicked a 27-yard field goal with 1:29 remaining. Patrick Peterson had two interceptions, one setting up Arizona's first TD in six quarters, the other to ruin any chance of rookie Mike Glennon pulling off a comeback in his first NFL start for the winless Bucs (0-4). Benched quarterback Josh Freeman wasn't even permitted to watch the game from the sideline.

Buffalo Bills 23, Baltimore Ravens 20

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

Buffalo Bills rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso's second interception of the game with 57 seconds remaining sealed win. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco threw a career-worst five interceptions and finished 25 of 50 for 347 yards passing, and two touchdowns.

Indianapolis Colts 37, Jacksonville Jaguars 3

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes, Trent Richardson ran for a score and the Colts became the latest to beat the Jaguars by double digits. Indianapolis led 20-3 at halftime. Jacksonville (0-4) has been outscored 75-8 in the first half this season. At least a few fans still think Tim Tebow would help.

Cleveland Browns 17, Cincinnati Bengals 6

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

Brian Hoyer, the local kid who always dreamed of being Cleveland's quarterback, threw two touchdown passes in his first start at home to lead the Browns (2-2). Hoyer's 1-yard TD pass to Chris Ogbonnaya with 4:54 left gave the Browns (2-2) an 11-point lead and Cleveland turned it over to its vastly improved defense. The Bengals (2-2) couldn't get anything going on offense, and Andy Dalton was intercepted by Buster Skrine with 3:43 left, ending any chance of a comeback.

Minnesota Vikings 34, Pittsburgh Steelers 27 (at London)

Full recap | Stats | Video highlights

Greg Jennings made two touchdown catches, Adrian Peterson ran for two scores and the Vikings' defense made a big stop with time running out to preserve their first win of the season. Playing at Wembley Stadium, Everson Griffen stripped Ben Roethlisberger on the 6-yard line with 19 seconds left. Kevin Williams recovered to seal the victory. Clearly, Minnesota's offensive players had no issues with jet lag.

Open: Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers

Thursday's Game

San Francisco 49ers 35, St. Louis Cardinals 11

Full recap | Stats

After getting only 11 carries last week, Frank Gore never made a public stink about it. Coach Jim Harbaugh noted he wasn't the only unhappy player after the San Francisco 49ers lost their second straight game. But Gore's touches went way up, and yards, too. And the offense kicked into gear in a 35-11 rout of the St. Louis Rams on Thursday night.
