PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles didn't need much from Michael Vick to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. They didn't need anything from Donovan McNabb or Brian Westbrook.
Getting significant contributions from their youngsters and backups, the Eagles routed the Chiefs in Vick's return to the NFL.
Kevin Kolb threw for 327 yards and two touchdowns, LeSean McCoy had 84 yards rushing and one TD, and DeSean Jackson and Brent Celek each had 100-plus yards receiving and one score for Philadelphia (2-1).
McNabb missed his second straight game with a broken rib. Westbrook sat out with a sore ankle. It was no problem against the Chiefs (0-3). Kolb, a third-year pro making his second career start, and McCoy, a rookie second-round pick, filled in nicely.
JETS 24, TITANS 17: At East Rutherford, N.J., David Harris had an interception and a big sack on consecutive drives, and Mark Sanchez threw two touchdown passes and ran for another as the Jets stayed undefeated by holding on for a victory over the Titans. Sanchez became the first rookie quarterback to start a season with wins in his first three games, and helped the Jets to their fourth 3-0 start in franchise history. The Jets' defense, which allowed its first touchdowns of the season, turned up the pressure in the fourth quarter and stopped Kerry Collins, who was 0 for his last 13 as the Titans fell to 0-3.
PACKERS 36, RAMS 17: At St. Louis, Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, and the Packers sent the Rams to their 13th straight loss. Rodgers was 13 for 23 for 269 yards. The Rams (0-3) have lost 30 of 35 since the start of the 2007 season. Rodgers and Greg Jennings hooked up on passes of 50 and 53 yards that set up touchdowns for Green Bay (2-1). Rodgers had a 46-yard pass to Donald Driver that set up another score, and he scored on a 4-yard run. Kyle Boller, who played three quarters after Marc Bulger bruised his shoulder, threw two touchdown passes and an interception for St. Louis. Steven Jackson carried 27 times for 117 yards and had five catches for 46 yards.
