NFL Game Recaps: Week 8 Early Scores

There's something in the water in St. Louis.

None

Giants 20, Dolphins 17

The G-Men played their last "easy" game of the season, spotting the Fins a 14-3 early lead and waiting until the 4th quarter to take control themselves. The legend of Victor Cruz continues to grow; the Giants' wideout caught 7 passes for 99 yards, including the winning score.

Texans 24, Jaguars 14

Arian Foster rushed for 100+ yards for the second straight week and Matt Schaub had TDs running and throwing as the Texans continued their dominance of the AFC South.

Titans 27, Colts 10

Despite giving up nearly 400 yards to the Colts, the Titans won handily, intercepting rookie Indy QB Curtis Painter twice. Tennessee's Chris Johnson continued his awful season though, gaining just 34 yards on 14 rushes.

Vikings 24, Panthers 21

Cam Newton bested Christian Ponder stats-wise in Rookie QB Bowl 2011, but Ponder's team was better, kicking a late field goal for their second win of the year. Both rookie QBs had fine days, with Newton passing for 3 TDs and a 117.6 rating.

Ravens 30, Cardinals 27

Baltimore spotted the lowly Cardinals a three-touchdown lead before storming back on the strength of three Ray Rice TDs and winning the game on a Billy Cundiff field goal as time expired.

Rams 31, Saints 21

In the shocker of the day, if not the season, the winless Rams shocked the Saints behind backup quarterack A.J. Feeley. Steven Jackson beasted on the Saints defense for 159 yards and two touchdowns, while St. Louis intercepted Drew Brees twice.
