JASON Hanson kicked a 45-yard field goal in overtime as the Detroit Lions rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 26-23 on Sunday.
Held in check most of the game, Matthew Stafford led Detroit to 17 points in the fourth quarter. He threw a touchdown pass and ran for a score.
Detroit had two shots from the Eagles 1 yard line after a pass interference penalty on Colt Anderson with 13 seconds left in regulation. But Stafford misfired on both passes and Hanson kicked a 19-yard field goal to send it to overtime.
The Lions (2-3) sacked Michael Vick on the first two plays of the extra quarter, forced a punt out of the end zone and started at midfield.
Stafford hit Calvin Johnson for a 17-yard gain to the Eagles 27 on first-and-20. A few plays later, Hanson nailed the game-winner.
The Eagles (3-3) head into their bye week with two straight losses.
Aaron Rodgers set a career high and equaled a Packers record with six touchdown passes, three to Jordy Nelson, as Green Bay trounced the previously unbeaten Texans 42-24 at Houston.
James Jones caught two touchdown passes for the Packers (3-3). Tom Crabtree had the other one, a 48-yarder that Rodgers threw just before taking a hit from Houston linebacker Brooks Reed.
Rodgers completed 24 of 37 passes for 338 yards. He tied Matt Flynn's game record for TD passes.
Washington's Robert Griffin III ran for 138 yards and two touchdowns, including a 76-yard run with 2:43 to play, as the Redskins ended an eight-game home losing streak with a 38-26 win over the Minnesota Vikings. A 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.
Russell Wilson passed to Sidney Rice for a 46-yard touchdown with 1:18 remaining as the Seattle Seahawks rallied for 14 points in the final 7:31 to beat the New England Patriots 24-23.
