NFL Round-up from Week 6

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Antrel Rolle intercepted two passes by Alex Smith, Prince Amukamara picked off another and the Giants shut down San Francisco in a 26-3 victory over the 49ers on Sunday in a rematch of last season's NFC championship game.

After outscoring the Bills and Jets by a combined 79-3 the last two weeks, the 49ers (4-2) met their match again with Eli Manning and New York's top team. No overtime needed this time, and not much of Manning either.

Manning threw for 193 yards and one touchdown, Ahmad Bradshaw ran for 116 yards and a score and the Giants (4-2) rode a dominant defense and four field goals by Lawrence Tynes to hand outspoken 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh the most lopsided loss of his tenure.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -- Robert Griffin III ran for 138 yards and two touchdowns, including a 76-yard scamper with 2:43 to play, and the Washington Redskins snapped an eight-game home losing streak Sunday with a 38-26 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

One week after he left the game early with his first NFL concussion, Griffin also completed 17 of 22 passes for 182 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

The Redskins (3-3) feasted on a Minnesota team that had not allowed more than 23 points in a game this season.

Minnesota's three-game winning streak ended. The Vikings are 4-2.

Minnesota held an early 9-0 lead but paid the price for getting field goals instead of touchdowns in the red zone.

Christian Ponder completed 35 of 52 passes for 352 yards.

HOUSTON (AP) -- Green Bay Packers receiver Greg Jennings was among the inactive players for Sunday night's game in Houston.

Jennings will sit out for the second straight week with a groin injury. Tight end D.J. Williams (hamstring), defensive tackle B.J. Raji (ankle), cornerback Davon House, linebacker Terrell Manning, guard Greg Van Roten and safety Sean Richardson were also inactive for Green Bay.

Linebacker Barrett Ruud, signed this week after Brian Cushing was placed on injured reserve with a torn left knee ligament, was among the inactive players for Houston.

Cornerbacks Roc Carmichael and Brandon Harris, safety Quintin Demps, tackle Andrew Gardner and guards Cody White and Brandon Brooks were also inactive for the Texans.

SEATTLE (AP) -- Russell Wilson found Sidney Rice behind the secondary for a 46-yard touchdown with 1:18 remaining, and the Seattle Seahawks rallied for 14 points in the final 7:31 to stun the New England Patriots 24-23 Sunday.

The matchup between the Patriots' No. 1 ranked offense and Seattle's No. 1 defense instead turned in to a starring performance for Wilson -- and a shocking rally.

Wilson hit Braylon Edwards on fourth down for a 10-yard TD to get the Seahawks' within 23-17. After a pair of holds by Seattle's defense, Wilson found Rice open on a double move. Steven Hauschka's extra point gave Seattle the lead.

Tom Brady and the Patriots (3-3) were then stopped on fourth down at their 28 when Wes Welker came up 2 yards short, and the Seahawks (4-2) were able to celebrate the unlikely comeback.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Bengals ran into a desperate team. If they're not careful, they may become one themselves.

Outplayed in the second half by a Cleveland team that hadn't won in nearly a year, Cincinnati made costly turnovers and lost its second straight, 34-24 to the Browns on Sunday.

Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes but also three interceptions, including one that was returned 19 yards for a TD by Browns cornerback Sheldon Brown in the fourth quarter.

"We did a lot of very good things, but you turn the ball over and you are going to lose," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "We need to play nasty. We are almost too nice. We need more of a killer instinct. We were not good enough in all three phases."

Cincinnati led 14-7 at halftime, but for the second week in a row, the Bengals (3-3) couldn't close the deal and the Browns snapped an 11-game losing streak that dated to November.

"We're just not clicking," said wide receiver A.J. Green, who caught two TD passes. "We're not putting all the pieces together. We're a winning football team. That means some guy is not doing their job."

The Bengals had 215 total yards at halftime, but they didn't really get rolling on offense in the second half until it was too late.

Cincinnati had its chances, but a dropped ball here, special teams break downs and an inability to run the ball against a Cleveland defense that gave up 243 rushing yards last week doomed the Bengals, who will host the Pittsburgh Steelers next week and play their next three at home.

Dalton finished 31 of 46 for 381 yards with three TDs and three interceptions.

"We feel like we gave two games away," said Dalton, referring to last week's loss to Miami. "I wouldn't say we're too nice. We just have to find that edge."

Lewis went further, saying the Bengals don't know how to put an opponent away.

"We have got to play nastier. We need to play tougher," Lewis said. "We need to have more of a killer instinct."

It's the second time the Browns have ended their franchise record losing streak against the Bengals. When Cleveland last lost 11 in a row, the Browns stopped their slide with a win at home over Cincinnati in 1975.

"It was fun to see guys jumping around and happy," said Browns kicker Phil Dawson, who has been with Cleveland since 1999. "They never had that feeling before and it was great to see."

Rookie Brandon Weeden threw two touchdown passes on his 29th birthday and cornerback Joe Haden sparked Cleveland's defense with his return from a suspension to lead the Browns (1-5).

"A big weight was lifted off our shoulders," said Haden, who intercepted a pass by Dalton in third quarter to set up a field goal. "It felt like we won the Super Bowl. We just didn't give up."

Montario Hardesty, filling in for injured rookie Trent Richardson, scored on a 1-yard plunge as the Browns outscored the Bengals in the second half 27-10.

It was the first win in nine tries against an AFC North opponent for second-year Browns coach Pat Shurmur. The victory also closed Randy Lerner's tenure as Cleveland's majority owner. His sale to Haslam for $1 billion is expected to be approved by the league's owners on Tuesday.

The Browns hadn't been able to put together a complete game under Shurmur. There were still some major flaws, but one of the NFL's youngest teams did some growing up and took some of the pressure off Shurmur, who needed a win to impress Haslam, the truck-stop magnate and a former minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

With the Browns leading 27-17 after Weeden's 3-yard TD pass to Benjamin Watson, Brown stepped in front of Brandon Tate, picked the ball off and ran it all the way back as Cleveland fans rocked Browns Stadium as it hadn't been in years.

Weeden went 17 of 29 for 231 yards and found rookie Josh Gordon for a 71-yard TD in the second quarter. Hardesty's 1-yard TD dive on the first play of the fourth quarter gave the Browns, who trailed 14-7 at halftime, their first lead at 20-14.

Hardesty was in for Richardson, who took a helmet to the side early in the game. He finished with just 37 yards on 14 carries.

The Bengals made it 20-17 on Mike Nugent's 44-yard field goal with 11:11 left.

After throwing the pick to Brown, Dalton connected with Green for a 57-yard with 5:21 left. Cincinnati got the ball back and was driving again when Dalton was sacked and stripped by Emmanuel Stephens. Browns rookie Billy Winn recovered it and rumbled 35 yards into Cincinnati territory, sending Cleveland fans into delirium.

"Make better football plays," Lewis said. "That's what we need. I don't think it matter who we play. It just matters what we do. It's about us."
