TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona's Jeff Blake wanted so badly to show the Baltimore Ravens how much they were missing without him at quarterback anymore.

Instead, he threw three interceptions in a typical Ravens victory: No touchdowns for the Baltimore offense, big plays by the defense and one crucial touchdown via special teams.

Blake was intercepted three times, twice by Chris McAlister, who returned the second one 83 yards for a touchdown.

Ed Reed, who had the other pick, blocked a punt and returned it 20 yards for the other Ravens' TD in a 26-18 win over the Cardinals.

"That's the way the game is, you know," Blake said. "Two plays can make you or break you."

Jamal Lewis set a franchise record with his fourth consecutive 100-yard rushing game.

The NFL's powerful leading rusher gained 131 yards in 21 carries.

The Ravens got a scare when Lewis bruised his right shoulder and went into the locker room for X-rays in the second half. They were negative and he returned to the game.

Blake was 22-of-36 for 247 yards and two touchdowns, but was done in by the interceptions.

Baltimore had no turnovers, so Arizona is minus-14 in turnover margin, by far the worst in the NFL.

McAlister's first pick set up the second of Matt Stover's four field goals as the Ravens (3-2) came off a bye week to stay in first place in the AFC North.

Panthers 23, Colts 20, OT

INDIANAPOLIS - Carolina found another way to avoid a loss, this time against Indianapolis.

Instead of giving the ball to Stephen Davis and watching him rumble over defenses, they got a 47-yard field goal by John Kasay 5:34 into overtime for the win.

A week after Peyton Manning led the Colts to a record-setting comeback over Tampa Bay on Monday night, the Colts (5-1) could not come up with a second straight overtime win.

DeShaun Foster ran for 85 yards, and set up Kasay for the winning field goal.

The Panthers (5-0) have now won seven straight dating to last season.

Carolina trailed early, then rallied in the second half with Davis - the NFC's leading rusher - spending most of the final 21 minutes on the bench after a fumble.

Foster overpowered the Colts, breaking tackles and dominating a worn-down Colts defense, even when it appeared the Colts were headed toward a second overtime win in six days. He finished with 16 carries and a 5.3 average

But the Panthers won the overtime coin toss, took the ball and gave it to Foster, and the Colts never got another chance.

Patriots 17, Giants 6

FOXBORO, Mass. - New York's giveaways kept New England in the game for a half. Then Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots took over.

Brady and Kevin Faulk led the Patriots to 10 points on their first two second-half drives, and Richard Seymour played a dominant defensive game in a win Sunday.

Brady was 1-of-10 for 7 yards in a first half in which the Patriots were outgained 199-29 and had just one first down to New York's 12. But he came alive after intermission, overcoming the rain and wind that plagued both teams throughout the game.

Faulk, inserted after Mike Cloud was ineffective, ran for 40 yards on a drive to set up a 28-yard Adam Vinatieiri field goal. Then Brady guided the Patriots (4-2) 85 yards capped by Cloud's 1-yard touchdown run.

He completed a 21-yard pass to David Givens on a third-and-16 from his own 9, and a 39-yarder to David Patten to set up the score.

The banged-up New England defense, still missing a half-dozen starters with injuries, let New York (2-3) move within the 20s, but tightened up in scoring territory.

Kerry Collins was 35-of-59 for 314 yards, but threw four interceptions and had just two completions over 20 yards.

Brady was 8-of-21 for 112 yards, but did his work when it was most important. Faulk, who gained just 2 yards in the first half, had 87 yards in 14 carries.
