TARVARIS Jackson came off the bench for an injured Brett Favre and threw for 187 yards and two touchdowns as the Minnesota Vikings beat Buffalo 38-14 on Sunday.
Adrian Peterson rushed for 107 yards and three touchdowns on a tender right ankle for the Vikings, who have won both matches under interim head coach Leslie Frazier to improve their win-loss record to 5-7. Favre said he sprained his throwing shoulder, which occurred on the first series of the game after a big hit by Bills linebacker Arthur Moats.
Jackson came in and led the Vikings to 31 first-half points. But he also threw three interceptions, including one that Drayton Florence returned 40 yards for a touchdown.
Buffalo committed five turnovers and had just 9 yards passing in the first half to lose its second in a row following two straight wins.
In Baltimore, Ben Roethlisberger threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Isaac Redman with 2:51 left after Troy Polamalu forced a fumble as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Ravens 13-10 to gain sole possession of first place in the AFC North.
A fierce defensive battle turned when Polamalu hit Joe Flacco's arm on a safety blitz. The loose ball was taken 19 yards by Lamarr Woodley to the Baltimore 9, setting up Pittsburgh's lone touchdown.
In Indianapolis, Peyton Manning had two interceptions returned for touchdowns and his fourth of the day set up David Buehler for a 38-yard field goal that gave the Dallas Cowboys a 38-35 win in overtime.
Manning finished 36 of 48 for 365 yards with two touchdowns and his second straight four-interception game. He's thrown a career-high 11 picks in the past three weeks with four of those going back for TDs.
Dallas (4-8) rushed for a season-high 217 yards and led most of the way thanks to Manning's miscues.
The Colts (6-6) fell one game behind first-place Jacksonville in the AFC South.
In other NFL action, it was: Jaguars 17, Titans 6; Falcons 28, Bucs 24; Chiefs 10, Broncos 6; Seahawks 31, Panthers 14; Rams 19, Cardinals 6; Raiders 28, Chargers 13; Saints 34, Bengals 30; Packers 34, 49ers 16; Giants 31, Redskins 7; Bears 24, Lions 20; and Browns 13, Dolphins 10.
