ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Fred Jackson had 196 yards from
scrimmage and linebacker Nick Barnett had two of Buffalo's four
interceptions in leading the Bills to a 31-24 win over the
Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles have lost four straight and are off
to their worst start since 1999, coach Andy Reid's first season.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Philadelphia Eagles quarterback
Michael Vick became the NFL's career leading rusher for
quarterbacks yesterday against the Buffalo Bills. Vick passed
Randall Cunningham with a 53-yard scramble to the right in the
third quarter that gave him 4,946 yards rushing, surpassing
Cunningham's mark of 4,928 yards.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Buffalo Bills receiver Donald Jones
was carted off with an ankle injury in the first quarter of the
game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jones was hurt after his
7-yard catch on a screen pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick. Jones entered
the game as the Bills' third-leading receiver with 14 catches for
149 yards and one touchdown.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Ben Roethlisberger tied a team record with
five touchdown passes - including two to Hines Ward - and the
Pittsburgh Steelers rolled past the Tennessee Titans 38-17. Other
than a slight limp when he ran, Roethlisberger appeared to have no
issues with his sprained left foot, also hitting Mike Wallace,
Heath Miller and David Johnson for scores.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Penn State lamented the running and
conditioning drills through the summer and preseason. Halfway
through the year, that extra work is paying off. The Nittany Lions
finished strong in a 13-3 win over Iowa, forcing three
fourth-quarter turnovers and turning up the blitz while ending a
three-game skid against the Hawkeyes.

MONTREAL (AP) - The Montreal Canadiens returned 31-year-old
Blair Betts to the Philadelphia Flyers after the center claimed off
waivers failed a medical examination. The Canadiens claimed Betts
on Oct. 5. An NHL bylaw states a player claimed on waivers may be
returned if he's deemed to be physically unfit.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) - Ales Hemsky scored the shootout winner
and the Edmonton Oilers started off the season with a 2-1 win over
the Pittsburgh Penguins. Rookie Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored the
tying goal with less than five minutes left in regulation for the
Oilers. Kris Letang scored for the Penguins, who were without
Evgeni Malkin. The center left after the pregame skate with what
appeared to be a lower body injury.
