Cards QBs get win over Bears

– Not exactly a dominant performance by Derek Anderson. Not quite redemption, either, for Matt Leinart, but a win for Arizona.

Anderson and Leinart each threw for a touchdown while delivering solid if not spectacular performances to help the Cardinals beat the Chicago Bears 14-9 in a preseason game Saturday night.

Anderson started after the first-team offense struggled with Leinart, and he responded by completing 7 of 12 passes for 94 yards.

Leinart came in late in the second quarter and was 9 of 10 for 84 yards, with a touchdown pass early in the third that made it 14-0 and sent Chicago (0-3) to another loss.

Lance Briggs sprained an ankle early in the second quarter and sat out the rest of the game, another blow to a linebacking corps already missing Brian Urlacher because of a strained left calf.

It was also a rough night for Jay Cutler, who was sacked four more times after being taken down five times the previous week. He simply fell down on one of them and got intercepted twice by Greg Toler, while completing just 10 of 20 passes for 129 yards.

LIONS 35, BROWNS 27: Matthew Stafford threw a touchdown pass, rookie Jahvid Best had a 51-yard run and Aaron Brown scored twice in the fourth quarter to lift host Detroit.

Stafford was 13 of 17 for 141 yards and connected with Bryant Johnson in the end zone on Detroit’s first drive.

Jake Delhomme was 20 of 25 for 152 yards and a TD for the Browns.

BILLS 35, BENGALS 20: Rookie running back C.J. Spiller scored twice in leading Buffalo to a preseason win at Orchard Park, N.Y.

Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer engineered a pair of touchdown drives in the three series he played.

VIKINGS 24, SEAHAWKS 13: Brett Favre completed 16 of 26 passes for 187 yards with two interceptions, one that Seattle rookie Earl Thomas returned 86 yards for a touchdown against host Minnesota.

Thomas delivered Seattle’s lone touchdown and also leveled Percy Harvin on a slant over the middle.

TEXANS 23, COWBOYS 7: Arian Foster rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown, and Matt Schaub threw a TD pass to Jacoby Jones to lead host Houston.

Tony Romo was sacked twice and fumbled, and Dallas (2-2) mustered only 7 yards rushing before the reserves took over late in the third quarter.

RAVENS 24, GIANTS 10: Joe Flacco completed 21 of 34 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns before leaving after one series in the third quarter in host Baltimore’s victory.

Returning after a one-week absence, New York quarterback Eli Manning went 9 for 18 for 63 yards and an interception.

PANTHERS 15, TITANS 7: Carolina sacked Vince Young four times, kept Vince Johnson in check and held Tennessee to 50 yards in the first half in Charlotte, N.C.

But the Titans stymied Matt Moore and DeAngelo Williams, with Carolina’s first-team offense still looking for its first touchdown of the preseason despite playing into the fourth quarter.

JAGUARS 19, BUCCANEERS 13: Josh Johnson, filling in for starting quarterback Josh Freeman, completed 9 of 14 passes for 122 yards and one touchdown to build a 13-6 lead for host Tampa Bay before leaving in the third quarter against Jacksonville.

Jacksonville moved the ball consistently with starter David Garrard at quarterback, but settled for field goals on three drives.

49ers 28, RAIDERS 24: Bruce Gradkowski threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns after Jason Campbell left with an injury for Oakland, and David Carr led a late touchdown drive that gave San Francisco a victory in Oakland, Calif.

Campbell left the game in the second quarter after being hurt on a sack. Campbell was down for about 5 minutes before leaving in the passenger seat of a cart with what the team described as a stinger.
