The Arizona Cardinals remained unbeaten after two rounds as backup quarterback Kevin Kolb threw for one touchdown and ran for another in a 20-18 win over the New England Patriots.

The Patriots took over when Vince Wilfork recovered a fumble at the Cardinals 30 with 1:01 left.

The New Orleans Saints are off to their first 0-2 start since 2007 after Cam Newton threw for 253 yards and ran for a career-high 71 yards in the Carolina Panthers' 35-27 win.

Michael Vick scored from a 1-yard TD run with 1:55 left to help the Philadelphia Eagles overcome a slew of turnovers in a 24-23 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, while the Indiana Colds snuck past the Minnesota Vikings 23-20.

In other games, the Miami Dolphins downed the Oakland Raiders 35-13, the Houston Texans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-7, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 35-17 and the Cincinnati Bengals were 34-27 winners over the Cleveland Browns.
