Tom Brady threw for 332 yards and hit Randy
Moss with the go-ahead 71-yard score in the third quarter, as the New England
Patriots opened some breathing room in the AFC East with a 27-17 victory over
the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium.
Michael Turner recorded two lengthy touchdown
runs, as the Atlanta Falcons defeated the Washington Redskins, 31-17, at the
Georgia Dome. Matt Ryan completed 17-of-24 passes for 135 yards with a
touchdown and an interception for the Falcons (5-3), who had lost
consecutive road games to Dallas and New Orleans. Turner finished with 166
yards on 18 carries in the win. A bruised and battered Jason Campbell threw
a touchdown pass for Washington (2-6), but also had his lone interception
returned for a score by Falcons cornerback Tye Hill. Campbell, who totaled
196 yards on 15-of-22 passing, was sacked five times and left the game
briefly twice after being shaken up. Ladell Betts, filling in for Clinton
Portis after he suffered a mild concussion in the first quarter, had 70
yards and a touchdown on 15 carries in the loss, Washington's fourth in a row.
