Jacksonville quarterback DAVID GARRARD threw a game-winning 50-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver MIKE THOMAS as time expired in regulation in the Jaguars' 31-24 win over Houston. It marked the fourth time in NFL history that a game ended with a go-ahead touchdown reception of at least 50 yards with no time left in regulation. The last time it happened was December 8, 2002 when Cleveland defeated Jacksonville 21-20 on a 50-yard touchdown pass.
The NEW YORK JETS defeated the Browns 26-20 in overtime at Cleveland Browns Stadium. The Jets, who won 23-20 in OT at Detroit's Ford Field last week, are the first team in NFL history to win road games in overtime in consecutive weeks.
SANTONIO HOLMES' 37-yard touchdown catch with 16 seconds remaining in overtime in the Jets' victory was the third-latest regular-season touchdown in overtime since the overtime system was instituted in 1974. San Diego defeated Kansas City with no time remaining (November 12, 1978) and Baltimore beat St. Louis with 10 seconds left (October 27, 1996).
