Colts defeat Broncos with clutch Vinatieri field goal

AFP , LOS ANGELES

Rex Grossman threw for three touchdowns as the Bears took advantage of several early turnovers and rolled over the 49ers.

Starting the season with seven straight wins for the first time since 1985 -- when the franchise last won the Super Bowl -- Chicago improved upon an impressive home scoring margin where it has roughed up opponents 152-30.

"[The start] is amazing," Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye said.

"A good thing about it is we have a chance to be 8-0 and so on and so forth. We've just got to keep playing like this," he said.

In another marquee matchup, Micheal Vick passed for 291 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another 55 yards to lead the Atlanta Falcons to a 29-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in an interconference contest.

In other games it was: Packers 31 Cardinals 14; Ravens 35 Saints 22; Titans 28 Texans 22; Jaguars 13 Eagles 6; Chiefs 35 Seahawks 28; Giants 17 Buccaneers 3; Chargers 38 Rams 24; Browns 20 Jets 13; Cowboys 35 Panthers 14.
