PHILADELPHIA — A big play from their much-maligned special teams saved the Philadelphia Eagles on a day their once-potent offense was ordinary again.

Quintin Mikell blocked a field goal, and Matt Ware returned it 65 yards for a touchdown with 2:25 left, leading the Eagles to a 20-17 victory over the San Diego Chargers yesterday.

"All year, we've had some bad breaks on special teams and some silly mistakes. But to come out and put it all together and make a play was great," Mikell said.

San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson was held to a career-low 7 yards rushing on 17 carries, and his NFL-record tying streak of games scoring a touchdown ended at 18.

Drew Brees rallied the Chargers from a 10-0 deficit with a pair of TD passes, but San Diego (3-4) couldn't put the game away after Philadelphia (4-2) failed to convert a fourth-and-1 at its own 30.

Mikell leaped to swat away Nate Kaeding's 40-yard attempt, Ware picked it up after one bounce and raced into the end zone.

"Usually it takes a funky bounce after a block, but this one came right up and it was, 'Whoa, Look at this!' " Ware said. "I said, 'This is it,' and started running."

The Chargers drove to Philadelphia's 19 on the ensuing possession, but Sheldon Brown stripped Reche Caldwell, and Darwin Walker recovered.

Donovan McNabb set an Eagles record with 35 completions in 54 attempts for 287 yards and one TD pass, and Terrell Owens caught his 100th career TD pass.

McNabb, playing through a sports hernia that will require surgery, broke Randall Cunningham's record of 34 completions against Washington in 1989 as the Eagles' offense had just 10 rushing attempts, excluding McNabb's scrambles and kneel-downs. Philly has one TD on offense the past two games.

"You have to run the ball more, but when you get into a rhythm, you have to stay with what's working," McNabb said.

LIONS 13, BROWNS 10

CLEVELAND — Jeff Garcia, kicked out of Cleveland after one tumultuous season, ran for a touchdown and Jason Hanson kicked two field goals to lead Detroit (3-3).

Garcia, making his first start this season in place of Joey Harrington, was 22 of 34 for 210 yards and didn't turn the ball over. Garcia missed Detroit's first five games with a broken left leg.

"It was a great feeling to be back, and to be able to do it in Cleveland made it extra nice," Garcia said. "I'm not going to hold anything back. I play the game with a certain passion."

Cleveland (2-4) scored its only touchdown on rookie Joshua Cribbs' 90-yard kickoff return in the second quarter.

BEARS 10, RAVENS 6

CHICAGO — Kyle Orton threw a first-quarter touchdown pass to Marc Edwards, and Thomas Jones ran for 83 of his 139 yards in the final period for Chicago (3-3).

Tank Johnson helped seal the victory in rainy conditions with two fourth-quarter sacks of Ravens quarterback Anthony Wright on third-down plays.

"They're a good defense and they're No. 1 in the NFC for a reason," Wright said. "They were taking away our passing lanes and breaking down our protection."

Baltimore (2-4) got only 34 yards rushing from Jamal Lewis on 15 carries. Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis left in the fourth quarter with a thigh injury.

CARDINALS 20, TITANS 10

TEMPE, Ariz. — Josh McCown threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald with 5:20 remaining to help Phoenix (2-4) beat Tennessee (2-5).

David Macklin returned an interception 61 yards for a touchdown and Arizona turned three Tennessee turnovers into 17 points.

"If you appreciate defensive plays, that was your kind of ball game," Cardinals coach Dennis Green said.

Tennessee was without quarterback Steve McNair because of back and ankle injuries, and the Titans lost running back Chris Brown with a shoulder stinger.
