Patriots dominate yet again

These Patriots are just having too much fun.

Showboating, leaping into teammates’ arms and jumping over the goal line on a touchdown – with Randy Moss doing none of that – they made history at Foxborough, Mass., with a 34-17 win Sunday over the Cleveland Browns, the latest victim of a powerhouse that seems to score at will.

Tom Brady threw for three touchdowns, tying an NFL record with at least three in each of his first five games, Junior Seau grabbed two interceptions, and New England became the first team to start a season with five wins by at least 17 points.

Oh, and the Patriots never trailed for the fourth game as they moved to 5-0 for the third time in club history.

It shouldn’t be as easy when they visit Dallas next Sunday. But so far, they’ve been behind for just a span of 12:36 this season – and they followed that 7-3 deficit against Buffalo with 35 straight points in a 38-7 win.

Jaguars 17, Chiefs 7: At Kansas City, Mo., Maurice Jones-Drew had a 52-yard touchdown run and Jacksonville held the Chiefs to 10 yards rushing in the Jaguars’ victory over the Chiefs. Two-time Kansas City Pro Bowler Larry Johnson was held to 12 yards on nine carries.

Redskins 34, Lions 3: At Landover, Md., fullback Mike Sellers had a career day with a touchdown reception and another score on the ground as Washington kept Detroit 0 for 21 in the nation’s capital dating back to the 1937 season. The Lions managed only 149 total yards against a Redskins defense that had five sacks by four different players.

Texans 22, Dolphins 19: At Houston, Kris Brown kicked a career-best five field goals, including the winner on a career-long 57-yarder with a second remaining, to lead Houston over hapless Miami, losers of eight straight.

Brown tied an NFL single-game record with three makes over 50 yards. He hit two 54-yarders earlier in the game.

Giants 35, Jets 24: New York Giants rookie Aaron Ross returned the second of his first two NFL interceptions 43 yards with just over 3 minutes remaining to seal a victory over the Jets at East Rutherford, N.J.

The Giants intercepted Chad Pennington three times, while Eli Manning finished 13 of 25 for 186 yards with two touchdown passes, and Brandon Jacobs had 100 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries for the Giants.

Titans 20, Falcons 13: Vincent Fuller picked off a pass and returned it 76 yards for a touchdown, and Kyle Vanden Bosch sacked Byron Leftwich with 1:01 left, as Tennessee overcame five turnovers in pulling out a sloppy victory over Atlanta.

Vince Young matched his career high with three interceptions, though the Falcons scored only 13 points off the turnovers and missed three field goals.

Panthers 16, Saints 13: Steve Smith fought for yards through two tacklers to turn a short catch into a crucial first down, and John Kasay made a 52-yard field goal as time expired, lifting Carolina to victory over New Orleans.

The Saints had their chances to win late, but Olindo Mare had a field goal blocked and missed another 54-yarder.

Cardinals 34, Rams 31: Kurt Warner produced three touchdowns, one in his typical relief role and two more after Matt Leinart was sidelined by a collarbone injury, and Rod Hood returned an off-target pass by Gus Frerotte 68 yards for an easy go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter of Arizona’s victory over host St. Louis.

Colts 33, Buccaneers 14: Kenton Keith ran for two scores and 121 yards in his first NFL start, and Peyton Manning threw two more touchdown passes as Indianapolis headed into the bye week unbeaten for the third straight year after dominating visiting Tampa Bay.

The Colts kept the ball 38:15 and limited the Bucs to eight yards rushing and 74 yards in offense in the first three quarters.

Chargers 41, Broncos 3: LaDainian Tomlinson amassed 140 yards, including 73 on three receptions, and Michael Turner added 147 yards on 10 carries, highlighted by a 74-yard touchdown trot, in a San Diego victory at Denver.

The Chargers ended their three-game skid by winning consecutive games in Denver for the first time since 1967-68. Philip Rivers was 13-of-18 passing for 270 yards and two touchdowns and also had his first career touchdown run.

Ravens 9, 49ers 7: Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and their crew suffocated San Francisco on all but a few plays, and Matt Stover made up for Baltimore’s near-equal offensive ineptitude with three field goals in the Ravens’ victory at San Francisco.
