MATT Ryan threw for 353 yards and overcame two big turnovers by leading another late touchdown drive to give the Atlanta Falcons a 24-23 victory over Tampa Bay in the NFL on Sunday.
The win enabled the Falcons (10-1) to keep pace with Houston for the NFL's best record.
Ryan connected with Julio Jones on an 80-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, but the Buccaneers took a 23-17 lead in the fourth after scoring a touchdown, then forcing a fumble by Ryan to set up a field goal.
Michael Turner's 1-yard TD run put Atlanta ahead for good with 7:55 left. Connor Barth missed a 56-yard goal for Tampa Bay (6-5) in the closing minutes, ending the Bucs' four-game winning streak.
Turner also scored a fourth-quarter touchdown that helped the Falcons overcome mistakes to beat Arizona 23-19 last week.
Eli Manning threw for three touchdowns, giving him 200 for his career, as the New York Giants routed the Green Bay Packers 38-10 to open up a two-game lead in the National Football Conference East division.
The Giants (7-4) put to rest concerns about a dormant offense as Manning connected with Rueben Randle, Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks for scores, and Ahmad Bradshaw had a combined 119 yards.
Green Bay (7-4) had its five-game winning streak broken.
The San Francisco 49ers ended the Saints' three-game winning streak with a 31-21 victory in New Orleans.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick ran for a 7-yard touchdown and threw for another one in his second career start for the 49ers (8-2-1) as former starter Alex Smith watched from the sidelines.
Smith had been deemed healthy enough to play after recovering from a concussion, but San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh decided to start Kaepernick after his impressive play in last week's victory over the Bears.
The Chicago Bears beat the Minnesota Vikings 28-10 to take sole possession of first place in the NFC North division.
Jay Cutler threw for 188 yards and a touchdown after missing a game because of a concussion as Chicago ended a two-game losing streak. The Bears (8-3) were tied with Green Bay for the NFC North lead.
