Rams 17, Lions 10

At Detroit, Steven Jackson's 25-yard touchdown run with 1:38 left ended St. Louis' 17-game losing streak, helping the Rams avoid match their worst start in the club's history.

They also ended talk about joining Detroit, which has one win this season, as the only teams in NFL history to have a 0-16 season.

At Indianapolis, the Colts won their 16th straight regular-season game and Jim Caldwell became the first rookie coach since the NFL merger to open his career with seven consecutive wins.

Rookie Lardarius Webb returned the second-half kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, and the Ravens ended a three-game losing streak with a surprisingly easy victory.

Titans 30, Jaguars 13

At Nashville, Vince Young threw for a touchdown in his first start since the 2008 season opener and Chris Johnson set a franchise record by rushing for 228 yards as the Titans won their first game of the season. Tampa Bay, which had a bye this week, remains the only winless team.
