DENVER ó Showing the ultimate confidence in his offense, Denver coach Mike Shanahan went for a 2-point conversion with 29 seconds left. Jay Cutler hit rookie Eddie Royal over the middle to give the Denver Broncos a 39-38 win over the stunned San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
The Chargers (0-2) couldnít believe they lost in the final seconds for the second straight week, with a controversial officiating call helping decide the outcome.
Trailing 38-31, the Broncos (2-0) reached the 1, but on third-and-goal, Cutler reared back to throw. The ball slipped out of his hands, bounced off the grass and into linebacker Tim Dobbinsí hands.
But referee Ed Hochuli blew his whistle, apparently ruling it an incomplete pass. After a review, Hochuli said the Broncos would keep the ball because his whistle had blown the play dead. The Broncos got the ball at the 10, where it hit the grass.
Two plays later, Cutler hit Royal for the TD to make it 38-37.
Instead of going for the tie, Shanahan kept his offense on the field and, 75,000-plus fans at Invesco Field holding their breath, Cutler again found Royal in the end zone for the winning points.
Cutler completed 36 of 50 passes for a career-best 350 yards and four TDs. Brandon Marshall set a franchise record with 18 catches for 166 yards in a magnificent return from his one-game suspe
49ers 33, Seahawks 30, OT
SEATTLE ó Joe Nedney shook off a missed field goal as time expired in regulation and kicked a 40-yarder 4:40 into overtime. The loss left the four-time defending division champions 0-2 for the first time since 2002.
San Francisco (1-1) overcame eight sacks of J.T. OíSullivan to beat the Seahawks for just the third time in 11 games, in the first overtime game of the 19-game series between the two teams.
OíSullivan was 20-for-31 for 321 yards and one touchdown in the second start of his six-year career. Seattleís Patrick Kerney and rookie top pick Lawrence Jackson sacked him two times each, but the journeyman passer kept coming back.
Giants 41, Rams 13
ST. LOUIS ó A 97-yard drive put the New York offense in gear. Another stifling effort from a big-play defense led by Justin Tuck made much of the scoring window dressing in the Giantsí 12th straight away win, including their Super Bowl victory last February.
Eli Manning threw three touchdown passes and the Giants sacked Marc Bulger six times while limiting the Rams to a fluke touchdown. The Rams (0-2) came up with another dud in their home opener, which also served as a tribute to late owner Georgia Frontiere.
The Giants (2-0) have not lost a road game since their opener last season.
Colts 18, Vikings 15
MINNEAPOLIS ó Taking a beating all afternoon, Peyton Manning peeled himself off the Metrodome turf and gave it right back to the Minnesota defense.
Manning rallied Indianapolis from a 15-0 hole late in the third quarter, moving Adam Vinatieri into position for the winning field goal with 3 seconds left.
Avoiding his first 0-2 start since his rookie season in 1998, Manning zinged a 20-yard pass on third-and-9 to Reggie Wayne up the seam before Vinatieri ó who uncharacteristically missed a 30-yarder earlier ó made his 47-yard kick.
Minnesota (0-2) wasted yet another strong effort by a dominant defense, failing again to figure out that pesky old forward pass.
Manning definitely has it down, though he hasnít looked his usual sharp self this September following summer knee surgery. He finished 26-for-42 for 311 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, but those numbers belied the story of the first three quarters.
Packers 48, Lions 25
DETROIT ó Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes in the first four drives of his second start, helping Green Bay build a big lead it needed.
Green Bay led 21-0 midway through the second quarter, but fell behind by a point with 7:41 left after Calvin Johnson caught his second TD in the fourth quarter.
The Packers (2-0) went back ahead with a field goal on the ensuing drive, then turned the game into the rout it had been for much of the day with three straight interceptions.
Charles Woodson and Nick Collins returned two of the picks for touchdowns, giving Green Bay a lopsided lead again.
Raiders 23, Chiefs 8
KANSAS CITY, Mo. ó The Raiders, with plenty of help from Kansas City, set aside all their backbiting and turmoil long enough to win a football game.
Rookie Darren McFadden ran for 164 yards and a touchdown and Sebastian Janikowski kicked a team-record 56-yard field goal against an inept Chiefs team that tried three quarterbacks.
Lane Kiffin, amid reports that his job is in jeopardy, won for just the fifth time 18 games as coach of the Raiders (1-1).
Titans 24, Bengals 7
CINCINNATI ó With Vince Young not even with the team, the Titans ended a troubling and confusing week by winning in a breeze.
Backup quarterback Kerry Collins threw low, tight passes that stayed on track in Cincinnatiís wind-tunnel of a stadium. Collins threw his first touchdown pass in two years, rookie Chris Johnson ran for 109 yards, and Rob Bironas guided a low, curving kick between gyrating uprights for a 34-yard field goal. Linebacker Keith Bulluck provided the clincher, blocking Kyle Larsonís punt in the end zone with his right arm, then snatching the ball off the ground for another touchdown.
Bills 20, Jaguars 16
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. ó Trent Edwards was good early and even better late, doing just enough to lead the Bills (2-0) to their best start in five years.
Edwards completed his first 10 attempts and threw a perfect touchdown pass to James Hardy late in the fourth quarter. Edwards finished 20-of-25 for 239 yards, Marshawn Lynch ran for 59 yards and a score, and Buffaloís defense held Jacksonville in check most of the day. The Jaguars (0-2) are off to their worst start since 2003. They finished 5-11 that season ó and could be in for another long one this time around.
Cardinals 31, Dolphins 10
GLENDALE, Ariz. ó Kurt Warner looked like he did in his MVP days, Anquan Boldin certainly wasnít sulking over contract woes, and Larry Fitzgerald caught almost everything thrown his way.
The result was a rout that has the Cardinals 2-0 for the first time in 17 years.
Warner completed 19 of 24 passes for 361 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. Boldin caught all three scores, a career high.
Buccaneers 24, Falcons 9
TAMPA, Fla. ó Rookie Matt Ryan was intercepted twice in the first half and Tampa Bayís Brian Griese turned the miscues into a touchdown and field goal.
A week after beating Detroit in his pro debut, Ryan threw incompletions on his first nine passes before settling down to keep Atlanta (1-1) in the game with three field goal drives that trimmed a 17-point deficit to eight with 5 minutes to go.
The Bucs (1-1) ended any hopes the third pick in this yearís draft would finish an improbable comeback when Earnest Graham broke a tackle in the backfield and barreled around right end and up the sideline on a 68-yard TD run.
Steelers 10, Browns 6
CLEVELAND (AP) ó Ignoring his sore right shoulder and wind gusts of 60 mph, Ben Roethlisberger threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward as the Steelers made it 10 straight wins over their closest rival, beating the Browns to extend the NFLís longest current winning streak between two teams.
As is their way, the Steelers wrecked Clevelandís return to prime time after a five-year hiatus.
Pittsburgh has won eight in a row in Cleveland (0-2), 16 of 17 in the series and 23 of 26.
