Chicago Bears (2-2) 34  Carolina Panthers (1-3) 29

More big numbers from Cam Newton (374 yards, 35 on the ground with 2 TD) didn’t help the building Panthers. Devin Hester ran a punt return all the way into the end zone (11th career Punt Return TD) while Matt Forte ran for 205 yards and a touchdown.

Tennessee Titans (3-1) 31  Cleveland Browns (2-2) 13

Matt Hasselbeck continues to flourish with the Titans, passing for 3 TD and finally got ground support from Chris Johnson who ran for 101 yards. Stopping Peyton Hillis at 46 yards was crucial as well as sacking Colt McCoy four times.

In a battle of the win-less, Donovan McNabb and the Vikings remain with a 0 under the W column. Matt Cassel got rocked by Jared Allen all day, but managed a good game with 260 yards and a TD, backed by Ryan Succop kicking all game long.
