BENGALS: Offensive lineman Richmond Webb tore a muscle in his chest against Tampa Bay and is expected to miss the rest of the season. Top draft pick Levi Jones will start at Indianapolis.

BILLS: Mike Hollis hit field goals from 48 and 49 yards and has gone 5-for-6 in attempts 48 yards or longer this season.

BROWNS: Jamel White rushed for 105 yards, only the second time in 18 games a back has gone for 100 yards against the Steelers.

CHARGERS: The team came in leading the league in sacks and New England was tied for second but neither got a sack Sunday.

CHIEFS: Safety Greg Wesley was the third player in franchise history with three interceptions in a game, the first since Albert Lewis in 1991.

COLTS: The team went into its bye fourth in the league with 13 drives into the red zone but has five field goals and failed to score four times.

DOLPHINS: Kick returner Albert Johnson probably will miss the rest of the season after tearing a ligament in his left knee. Tackle Mark Dixon said he felt better after spraining his left ankle in Sunday's game.

JAGUARS: A 72-yard pass from Mark Brunell to Fred Taylor was the second-longest non-scoring play in team history.

JETS: Wayne Chrebet left with a bruised right leg but not before becoming the fourth Jet with more than 6,000 yards receiving in his career. He joined Don Maynard, Al Toon and Wesley Walker.

PATRIOTS: Adam Vinatieri was wide right on a 41-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter, his first miss in nine tries this year and snapping a streak of 11 that included his 48-yarder that beat St. Louis in the Super Bowl.

RAIDERS: Punter Shane Lechler returned for his first regular-season game after recovering from a quadriceps injury. ... Rod Woodson passed the late Emlen Tunnell, a Hall of Famer who had 1,282 return yards for the Giants and Packers from 1948-61.

STEELERS: The team adjusted its defense by bringing safety Lee Flowers up as a third cornerback, allowing linebackers Joey Porter and Jason Gildon to stay in the pass rush rather than dropping into coverage.

TEXANS: David Carr was sacked seven times, brining his season total to 26.

TITANS: The team will be without leading receiver Derrick Mason and starting cornerback Samari Rolle for at least 3-4 weeks because of injuries. Mason separated his left shoulder and Rolle strained his right hamstring against Oakland.
