- PHILADELPHIA: Eli Manning threw four touchdown passes, including two to Victor Cruz, as the New York Giants beat the Philadelphia Eagles 29-16 after Michael Vick left the game again Sunday.
Vick started despite suffering a concussion in last week’s 35-31 loss at Atlanta. He left with a broken right hand in the fourth quarter after helping the Eagles overcome a 14-0 first-quarter deficit to take a 16-14 lead.
It’s uncertain how long Vick will be out.
Without their Pro Bowl quarterback, the Eagles (1-2) hardly look like the “Dream Team” that entered the season with Super Bowl or bust expectations.

At Chicago, Aaron Rodgers threw for 297 yards and three touchdowns to Jermichael Finley , as Green Bay shut down Jay Cutler.
The stakes weren’t as high as the previous meeting, when the Packers left Soldier Field celebrating the NFC title on the way to the championship.

The normally unflappable Freeman did a little bird dance in celebration of his quarterback sneak that snapped a 3-3 tie in the second quarter, and the Bucs (2-1) went on to end a five-game losing streak in the series between NFC South rivals.

Mark Ingram’s first career touchdown on a 13-yard run gave the Saints (2-1) the lead for good with under 3 minutes left.
At Charlotte, North Carolina, Cam Newton didn’t pass for too many of yards, he simply found Greg Olsen over the middle for a 16-yard touchdown with 4:20 left to list Carolina (1-2).
Newton, the No. 1 overall draft pick, also found Olsen for the ensuing 2-point conversion that helped Carolina rally from a 10-5 halftime deficit.

The Ravens (2-1) got back on their game and then some after stumbling in a loss at Tennessee last week. The 406-yard first half that fueled a 27-point cushion, and the game total of 553 yards, were both bests for the franchise that moved from Cleveland in 1996.
At Cleveland, Colt McCoy threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Massaquoi with 43 seconds left to cap an 80-yard drive and rally Cleveland (2-1) over winless Miami.

At Cincinnati, Kendall Hunter ran 7 yards for the game’s only touchdown with 3:59 to go, rallying San Francisco in front of Cincinnati’s smallest crowd for a home opener in 30 years.
Hunter’s run completed the only noteworthy drive by the 49ers (2-1), who didn’t cross midfield until midway through the third quarter.
At Seattle, Tarvaris Jackson scrambled for an 11-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter, bulling through two Arizona defenders at the goal line, and Seattle (1-2) picked up its first win.
Jackson’s day had a little bit of everything, from fans booing, to later chants for his backup Charlie Whitehurst
