CARDINALS ...41 BEARS ...21 One week after throwing five interceptions, Kurt Warner tied a career high by throwing five touchdown passes. Larry Fitzgerald added 123 yards receiving and two TDs. Warner was at his best after a miserable performance in a 34-21 loss to Carolina. He handled a team that had a chance to sign him as a backup four years ago, matching the record for TD passes by a Bears opponent without getting picked off. Warner completed 23 of 32 for 261 yards and threw TD passes on the first four possessions. ...more

BEARS ...30 BROWNS ...6 Jay Cutler threw for 225 yards, Matt Forte ran for two touchdowns and the Bears easily beat the bumbling Browns. Cleveland quarterback Derek Anderson had another miserable day and was lifted for Brady Quinn, the man he replaced in Week 3, with about 3 minutes left in the game. Anderson completed just six of 17 passes for 76 yards and got intercepted twice. That lowered his QB rating to a league-low 36.2. And now, the Browns appear to be back in a familiar spot: deciding on a starting quarterback. The Bears paid tribute to Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton at halftime on the 10th anniversary of his death, then delivered a performance that was far from sweet. But it was effective enough. ...more

CHARGERS ...24 RAIDERS ...16 Some things never change in San Diego, such as the great weather and LaDainian Tomlinson and the Chargers beating hapless Oakland. Tomlinson scored twice, the first in the wildcat, and the Chargers earned their 13th straight victory against the Raiders. It's the longest active NFL winning streak by one team over another. The Chargers swept the series for the sixth straight season. Many Chargers, including quarterback Philip Rivers, have never lost to the Raiders. It was San Diego's seventh straight home win against the Raiders. The Chargers sacked JaMarcus Russell five times. ...more

BENGALS ...45 BEARS ...10 Cedric Benson got his revenge on Chicago, all right. The rest of Cincinnati's offense had a sweet time, too. Carson Palmer threw five touchdown passes - four of them in a dominant first half - and Benson ran for a career-high 189 yards and a touchdown against the team that let him go after the 2007 season. The Bengals improved to 5-2 for the first time since 2005, when a fast-strike offense got them to the playoffs. There was a strong resemblance in the first half, when Cincinnati scored on all five possessions and went up 31-0. ...more
