<strong><span class="subhead">Colts 20, Texans 17</span></strong></p><p>INDIANAPOLIS | The Colts have no problems with close games &mdash; as long as they keep winning them.</p><p> Peyton Manning delivered another milestone performance, Joseph Addai produced a second straight winning score, and the Colts found another unconventional way to win when Houston&rsquo;s Kris Brown missed a 42-yard field goal as time expired.</p><p> Indy is the fourth team in league history with 17 straight regular-season wins. New England did it twice &mdash; winning a record 21 straight from 2006-08 and 18 in a row from 2003-04. Chicago won 17 straight from 1933-34.</p><p> Manning, the three-time MVP, tied Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton for fourth in career victories (125) and became the first player in league history to throw for 40,000 yards in one decade. Tight end Dallas Clark caught 14 passes, the third-highest single-game total by an NFL tight end, and with eight receptions, Reggie Wayne moved past Hall of Famer Raymond Berry and into second on the Colts&rsquo; career reception list.</p><p> A week after rallying the Colts with a fourth-quarter TD pass, Addai caught a touchdown pass, then ran 2 yards for the winning score with 7:11 to go.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Cowboys 20, Eagles 16</span></strong></p><p>PHILADELPHIA | Now the Cowboys can forget about last season&rsquo;s awful finish.</p><p> Tony Romo threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Miles Austin midway through the fourth quarter and the Cowboys beat the Eagles in the 100th meeting between the division rivals.</p><p> On the final day of the 2008 regular season, the Eagles dominated Dallas 44-6 in a do-or-die game for both teams. Philadelphia earned a wild-card berth with that victory, won two playoff contests on the road and advanced to the NFC championship game, losing at Arizona.</p><p> The Cowboys spent the whole offseason thinking about that horrendous ending. They got their revenge and took over sole possession of first place in the NFC East with their fourth straight victory.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Chargers 21, Giants 20</span></strong></p><p>EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. | Five years after being traded away in a draft-day swap for Eli Manning, Philip Rivers came back and stuck it to the Giants.</p><p> Rivers capped an 80-yard drive with an 18-yard pass to Vincent Jackson with 21 seconds to play and the Chargers stunned the Giants, posting their third straight win while handing New York its fourth straight loss.</p><p> San Diego is now well positioned for the second half of the season. The Giants can only shake their heads in disbelief after blowing their first 5-0 start since 1990.</p><p> Rivers threw for 209 yards and three touchdowns.</p><p> Appropriately, the game ended with Shawne Merriman sacking Manning. San Diego drafted the linebacker in 2005 with one of the picks the Chargers got from the Giants in the Manning deal.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Titans 34, 49ers 27</span></strong></p><p>SAN FRANCISCO | Chris Johnson got to perform his celebratory dance after all.</p><p> Six plays after his 81-yard touchdown run was overturned, Johnson took a pitch from Vince Young and scurried 2 yards for a go-ahead score and led the Titans to their second straight win.</p><p> Young showed his comeback is legitimate, outplaying fellow first-round draft pick Alex Smith down the stretch. Young has been clutch twice in as many weeks, getting the Titans in the end zone when it mattered.</p><p> The Titans beat Jacksonville last Sunday to end an eight-game losing streak dating to December. Suddenly, this team has found some much-needed momentum. Tennessee has its first back-to-back wins since victories over the Lions and Browns in weeks 13 and 14 last season on the way to a 13-3 finish.</p><p> Smith threw two interceptions in the final 6:24 and three in all, fumbled twice and was sacked four times &mdash; not the kind of day he&rsquo;d hoped for in his first home start in more than two years.
