MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Brett Favre was as good as ever, becoming the NFL's career leader in touchdown passes with a couple of vintage third-down zingers to help Green Bay stay unbeaten.

Favre was the obvious difference in Sunday's 23-16 victory by the Packers (4-0), who hung on against the pass-deficient Minnesota Vikings.

He threw No. 421 in the first quarter to Greg Jennings and No. 422 in the fourth quarter to James Jones and went interception-free against a defence determined to make him the league's career leader in that category, too. Favre remained three picked-off passes away from passing George Blanda.

Winning for the fourth time in the last five meetings here, Favre went 32-for-45 for 344 yards as Green Bay improved to 4-0 for the first time since 1998.

Kelly Holcomb threw a touchdown pass to Sidney Rice with 1:55 left to pull the Vikings within seven, and a fumble gave Minnesota (1-3) a chance to tie it. Favre's handoff to Ryan Grant wasn't clean, and Chad Greenway fell on it at the Vikings 46. Holcomb's tipped pass from the Packers 34 was intercepted by Atari Bigby.

Cowboys 35 Rams 7

IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo had a 15-yard touchdown run and threw touchdown passes of 59, 37 and 17 yards, turning what had been a tight early game into yet another easy win for Dallas and another frustrating loss for St. Louis.

The Cowboys are 4-0 for the first time since 1995, the year of their last Super Bowl title. The Rams are 0-4 for the first time since 2002, when they opened with five straight defeats coming off a Super Bowl loss.

Romo was 21-of-33 for 339 yards and three touchdowns, with an interception. He also had a long scramble on a fumble that helped keep alive the Cowboys' first scoring drive. Patrick Crayton scored the first two touchdowns and had seven receptions for a career-high 184 yards.

Down 35-7 with 2:16 left in the third quarter, Marc Bulger went to the bench and the beaten, battered Rams turned to back-up quarterback Gus Frerotte. St. Louis already was missing running back Steven Jackson and five other starters because of injury, plus two more because of suspension. Right tackle Adam Goldberg was lost to a knee injury, wide receiver Isaac Bruce left in the third quarter with a hamstring injury, and safety Corey Chavous strained his left shoulder.

Raiders 35 Dolphins 17

MIAMI — Daunte Culpepper ran for three touchdowns and threw for two to win the grudge game against his former team. His much-scrutinised knee might not be 100 percent, but it was good enough to lead the Raiders (2-2). For the second time in four years, the Dolphins are 0-4.

Culpepper threw only 12 times and completed five for 75 yards, but hit Jerry Porter for scores of 7 and 27 yards. Justin Fargas replaced an injured LaMont Jordan shortly before halftime and ran for a career-high 179 yards in 22 carries.

The Raiders' 299-yard rushing total was their fourth highest since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 and their highest since Nov. 30, 1987, against Seattle, when they had 356.

Ronnie Brown ran for 134 yards and caught six passes for 73 for the Dolphins, but they had possession for less than 25 minutes.

Falcons 26 Texans 16

ATLANTA — Joey Harrington threw a pair of touchdown passes to Michael Jenkins, 47-year-old Morten Andersen kicked four field goals and the Falcons defeated Matt Schaub and the Texans.

Jenkins hauled in scoring passes of 5 and 7 yards, the first two-touchdown game of his up-and-down career. Harrington, who took over as starter after Schaub was traded and Michael Vick became embroiled in a dogfighting case, was 23-of-29 for 223 yards.

Schaub was 28-of-40 for 317 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown pass to Andre' Davis that gave Houston (2-2) a short-lived lead in the first quarter. But the Texans couldn't punch in their other scoring chances, settling for field goals by Kris Brown.

The NFL's oldest player, Andersen showed he's still got plenty of punch in his left leg by connecting from 28, 22, 36 and 46 yards for the Falcons (1-3).

Browns 27 Ravens 13

CLEVELAND — Derek Anderson threw two touchdown passes and Jamal Lewis ran for one against his former team.

With their second win over a division opponent this month, the Browns (2-2) looked nothing like the inept team that was embarrassed 34-7 in their home opener three weeks ago by Pittsburgh.

Lewis, released by Baltimore coach Brian Billick in March, got some satisfaction against his former coach and the team he played with for seven seasons. He finished with 64 yards and scored on a disputed 1-yard dive in the second quarter, the first TD rushing given up by the NFL's top run defence this season.

Bills 17 Jets 14

ORCHARD PARK — Making his first career start in place of injured J.P. Losman, Trent Edwards went 22-of-28 for 234 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown to Michael Gaines with 7 minutes left.

With the third-round draft pick, the Bills produced their most points, total yards (304), yards passing and first downs (19) of the season, and helped erase the frustrations of an 0-3 start that included two 20-point losses.
