The Lions started the winning drive with 1:46 remaining and no timeouts. Stafford, the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, did just enough to rally them for the win — helped hugely by the call that went against the Browns.
GIANTS 34, FALCONS 31, OT
At East Rutherford, Eli Manning threw for a career-high 384 yards and three touchdown passes, including two to Kevin Boss, to help the Giants end a four-game skid coming off their bye week.
CARDINALS 21, RAMS 13
At St Louis, Tim Hightower had 110 yards on 14 carries, the first 100-yard game of the season for a team ranked next to last in the NFL in rushing, helping the Cardinals win for the sixth time in seven games and go to 5-0 on the road.
COWBOYS 7, REDSKINS 6
At Arlington, Texas, Tony Romo led a single scoring drive for the Cowboys, hitting Patrick Crayton for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 2:41 left to preserve first place in the NFC East.
Shaun Suisham put Washington ahead 6-0 with field goals of 45 and 31 yards. But he missed a 39-yard attempt shortly before halftime and a 50-yarder that would’ve made it 9-0 with 7:06 left. Suisham had been 13 of 13 this season before those misses.
PACKERS 30, 49ERS 24
At Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers threw touchdowns to Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson as the Packers held on after taking a 23-3 lead.
JAGUARS 18, BILLS 15
At Jacksonville, David Garrard’s second game-winning drive in as many weeks gave the Jaguars their first three-game winning streak in nearly two years.
