NFL: New York Jets upset Pittsburgh Steelers; wins also for Ravens, Dolphins & Chiefs

The New York Jets ended an eight-game losing streak as they upset the Pittsburgh Steelers in the early games in week 10 of the NFL season.

Jets quarterback Michael Vick threw two touchdown passes and also enjoyed a milestone moment, becoming the first quarterback to rush for over 6,000 yards.

The Steelers - who didn’t help themselves with four turnovers, two of them being interceptions thrown by Ben Roethlisberger, trailed 17-0 at half time and were never able to launch a recovery.

Roethlisberger, who threw for 343 yards in total, did throw an 80-yard scoring pass to Martavis Bryant, though it was too little too late to save the Steelers.

The Baltimore Ravens joined Pittsburgh on 6-4 in a tight AFC North division thanks to a 21-7 triumph over the Tennessee Titans.

Running back Justin Forsett had 112 yards rushing and two touchdowns as Baltimore bounced back from two straight defeats ahead of their bye week.

Zach Mettenberger went 16 for 27 for 179 yards and an interception in his first road start in the NFL for the Titans, who actually led 7-0 after the first quarter. From then on, though, his afternoon, along with Tennessee’s went downhill.

Elsewhere, the Detroit Lions stunned the Miami Dolphins with a touchdown in the closing minute, Matt Stafford completing an 11-yard pass to Theo Riddick to settle a see-saw contest in favour of his side.

Dolphins turnaround

The Dolphins had trailed 10-6 at one stage but turned the game around in a hurry, firstly blocking a Matt Prater field goal before Ryan Tannehill hit Mike Wallace for a short score.

After Prater drew the Lions level, Miami moved back ahead with 4:19 left to play when Caleb Sturgis hit his third field goal. However, Detroit duly stole the victory when Stafford capped off a 74-yard drive with a completion to Riddick.

The Kansas City Chiefs also rallied to beat the Buffalo Bills, turning around a double-digit deficit thanks to 14 fourth-quarter points at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Dan Carpenter’s second field goal had the Bills 13-3 up, yet the Chiefs - who are now 6-3 for the season - got themselves back in the game when Jamaal Charles not only converted a fourth-down run but managed to take it 399 yards to the end zone.

Alex Smith then put Kansas City ahead for the first time, the quarterback running for a touchdown from eight yards out.

The Atlanta Falcons put an end to a run of five straight defeats, seeing off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-17 on the road.

Matt Bryant kicked four field goals for the Falcons, while Steven Jackson rushed for a touchdown and Roddy White had a score through the air to help see off the struggling Bucs.

Colin Kaepernick completed a 51-yard pass on fourth down to sustain a game-tying drive, as San Francisco breathed new life into their season with a stirring 27-24 overtime road win against the New Orleans Saints (4-5).

Ahmad Brooks sacked and stripped Drew Brees in overtime allowing Phil Dawson to kick a 35-yard field goal to seal a dramatic victory which snapped a two-game skid for the Niners (5-4).
