Green Bay wilts in Arizona heat wave

HOT AND BOTHERED Brett Favre may be 34-1 when playing in near freezing temperatures, but its a different story when the thermometer nudges 40?C

AP , TEMPE, ARIZONA

Bucs 31, Falcons 10

In Atlanta, defensive tackle Warren Sapp scored the first offensive touchdown of his career on a 6-yard catch as the Bucs rebounded from a disappointing loss.

The Bucs (2-1) were clearly perturbed by the way they lost to Carolina a week earlier, getting two field goals and an extra point blocked before falling 12-9 in overtime. Tampa Bay took out all its frustration on the hapless Falcons (1-2), who failed for the second week in a row to give Dan Reeves his 200th coaching victory.

Colts 23, Jaguars 13

In Indianapolis, Reggie Wayne caught a career-high 10 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns as the Indianapolis Colts are off to their first 3-0 start since 1996 and only their second such start since 1978.

Jacksonville (0-3) has lost five straight dating to the end of last season.

Fred Taylor had 17 carries for 126 yards, topping the 5,000-yard career mark and became the first runner to gain more than 100 yards against the Colts defense in 15 games.

In other games: Titans 27, Saints 12; Patriots 23, Jets 16; Chiefs 42, Texans 14; Vikings 23, Lions 13; Steelers 17, Bengals 10; Dolphins 17, Bills 7
