Extra Points
Solemn moment
In their first home game since Al Lerner's death, the Browns honored their owner with a pre-game video presentation. A Marine Corps honor guard performed a 21-gun salute, and there was jet flyover for Lerner, who died at 69 of brain cancer.
Best defense
The Eagles' defense held the Bears to just 53 yards in the second half.
Coming up big
The Bengals had their biggest victory margin since they beat the Houston Oilers, 61-7, on Dec. 17, 1989.
Single-minded
The Lions had not won a game scoring in single digits since winning, 7-6, at Kansas City on Oct. 23, 1988.
Hot start
At 7-2, the Buccaneers matched the 1979 team for the best nine-game start in team history.
Historic run
Titans' Steve McNair tied Warren Moon's franchise record by throwing a touchdown pass in his 21st consecutive game.
In a rut
The Vikings have lost 15 consecutive road games.
Making their points
The Jets scored their most points (44) since a 48-21 win over Carolina on Nov. 29, 1998.
Tonight's Game
Miami (5-2) at Green Bay (6-1)
Time: 9.
TV: Chs. 2, 7.
Line: Packers by 4 1/2 .
Last meeting: Dolphins won, 28-20, at Miami in 2000.
Key stat: Packers are 13-0 when Ahman Green rushes for 100 yards.
Worth watching: The quarterback mismatch: Packers' Brett Favre leads the NFL in passing. With Jay Fiedler (thumb) out, the Dolphins again go with Ray Lucas.
Outlook: Both teams had last weekend off, giving Favre time to get his sprained knee healthy and start his NFL-leading 165th consecutive game. If Favre falters, the Dolphins will have a chance with Ricky Williams, who is averaging 4.4 yards per carry.
