Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor directed two fourth-quarter touchdown drives as the Ravens rallied for a 31-13 victory over the winless Chiefs at Baltimore.
Kansas City's Tyler Palko completed 8 of 13 passes for 95 yards and produced 10 points in his three drives - a tying 4-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Copper late in the second quarter and a 12-play march culminating in a tiebreaking 30-yard field goal by Ryan Succop with 6:58 left in the third quarter.
Chiefs starting quarterback Matt Cassel was 6 for 14 for 73 yards. But Kansas City, blanked 25-0 by Tampa Bay last Thursday, clicked on offense once Palko entered midway through the second quarter.
Dolphins 20, Panthers 10: At Miami, Fla., Cam Newton lofted a long pass that fell incomplete on the final play of the first half, and that's the closest he came to reaching the end zone.
Newton played the entire first half, when the Panthers managed only three first downs, had the ball for less than eight minutes and fell behind 17-0. Newton went 7 for 14 for 66 yards, and he ran four times for 18 yards.
Packers 28, Cardinals 20: At Green Bay, Wis., Aaron Rodgers topped off a sharp performance with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings for the defending Super Bowl champions.
Rodgers played into the second quarter, completing 9 of 12 passes for 97 yards and a TD. Matt Flynn took over for Rodgers and led the Packers to another touchdown before halftime, a 2-yard run by rookie Alex Green.
Jaguars 15, Falcons 13: At Jacksonville, Fla., David Garrard did little to solidify his starting spot, and rookie Blaine Gabbert was equally unimpressive for the Jaguars.
Garrard completed 7 of 12 passes for 99 yards, with an interception in three series. Gabbert, the 10th pick in the April draft, completed 11 of 23 passes for 96 yards in seven series. Gabbert was plagued by several drops, including three on one second-half series that forced the Jaguars to settle for a 54-yard field goal.
Redskins 16, Colts 3: At Indianapolis, one week after Rex Grossman's impressive performance, John Beck answered by leading the Redskins to four straight scores in the first half.
Grossman was 19 of 26 for 207 yards in a 16-7 win over defending AFC champion Pittsburgh last week. Beck's answer: 14 of 17 for 140 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions against the defending AFC South champs.
Lions 30, Browns 28: At Cleveland, Ohio, Colt McCoy threw three touchdown passes - two to tight end Evan Moore - in the first half, but Cleveland blew a 15-point lead in a penalty-filled exhibition.
