NEW YORK - Adam Vinatieri kicked a 24-yard field goal with four seconds remaining to give the Indianapolis Colts a 13-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Vinatieri, who had missed a field goal last week that would have beaten the San Diego Chargers, capped a 14-play, 61-yard drive for the Colts, who snapped their two-game losing streak.

Peyton Manning won his 100th NFL game, but the Colts quarterback failed to pass for a touchdown, completed just 16 of 32 passes for 163 yards and was intercepted once. He also fumbled once and was sacked twice.

Joseph Addai scored the Colts only touchdown on a three-yard run in the third quarter to put them 10-3 up before the Chiefs (4-6) tied the score at 10-10 on a 19-yard touchdown pass from new starter Brodie Croyle to Dwayne Bowe and Dave Rayner's extra point with 1:22 left in the quarter.

Neither team scored again until Vinatieri booted his second field goal of the game. Rayner's 47-yard field goal had opened the scoring in the second quarter.

* Brett Favre passed for three touchdowns, two to Donald Lee, as the Green Bay Packers rolled past the Carolina Panthers 31-17 to improve to 9-1.

The 44-year-old Vinny Testaverde had two touchdown passes for the Panthers (4-6) but was intercepted twice.

* The Philadelphia Eagles handed the Miami Dolphins their 10th straight loss, winning 17-7 at home despite losing quarterback Donovan McNabb to a sprained right ankle in the second quarter.

A.J. Feeley replaced McNabb and wrapped up the win for the Eagles (5-5) with a four-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Jason Avant. Ted Ginn went 87 yards with a second-quarter punt return for the only touchdown by the Dolphins (0-10).

* The New York Giants intercepted Detroit quarterback Jon Kitna three times in a 16-10 victory. Eli Manning passed for 283 yards and a touchdown for the Giants (7-3). Kitna was 28 from 43 for 377 yards and a touchdown for the Lions (6-4).

* Antrel Rolle returned intercepted passes 55 and 54 yards for touchdowns and had a third for 71 yards ruled out as the Arizona Cardinals (5-5) beat the Cincinnati Bengals 35-27.

Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer had two touchdown passes and 329 yards for the Bengals (3-7) but could not overcome four interceptions in the game.

*  Phil Dawson's 33-yard field goal in overtime gave the Cleveland Browns a 33-30 road victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Dawson had sent the game into overtime with a 51-yard field goal for the Browns (6-4) as time expired.

* David Garrard returned from injury and threw two touchdown passes as the Jacksonville Jaguars (7-3) defeated the San Diego Chargers 24-17. The Chargers dropped to 5-5.

* Chester Taylor rushed for 164 yards and scored three touchdowns for the Minnesota Vikings (4-6) in a 29-22 home victory over the Oakland Raiders. Daunte Culpepper passed for 344 yards and a touchdown for Oakland (2-8) but was sacked four times as the Raiders lost their sixth straight game.

* Matt Schaub passed for two touchdowns and 293 yards in the Houston Texans (5-5) 23-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints (4-6), who were held to 47 yards rushing.

* Jeff Garcia passed for two touchdowns and Earnest Graham rushed for 102 yards to give the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-4) a 31-7 victory over the Atlanta Falcons (3-7), who did not score until the final 70 seconds when Adam Jennings caught a seven-yard pass from Joey Harrington.
