Buccaneers 30, Patriots 28: At Tampa, Fla., rookies Mark Barron and Doug Martin both scored touchdowns and Tampa Bay (2-1) beat New England (1-2).

Barron intercepted a pass tipped by Ronde Barber and returned it 22 yards for a first-quarter TD. Martin scored on a 1-yard run that finished a game-opening drive led by Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman.

Falcons 23, Dolphins 6: In his first game as the Dolphins' starting quarterback, Ryan Tannehill went 11 for 27 for 112 yards and one interception, and Miami (0-3) lost to visiting Atlanta (1-2).

Bears 20, Giants 17: At East Rutherford, N.J., Jason Campbell threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Joe Anderson with 8:22 to play and Chicago (2-1) rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit against New York's (1-2) second-team defense to beat the Super Bowl champions.

Chargers 12, Vikings 10: At Minneapolis, Nick Novak's 45-yard field goal as time expired gave San Diego (3-0) a victory over Minnesota (1-2), after Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder struggled along with the rest of the starting offense.
