It was a long day for the Ravens, Rams and Patriots, and they all made the extra work pay off.

Baltimore staged a stunning rally from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit Sunday and beat Seattle 44-41 in overtime on Matt Stover's 42-yard field goal.

''I think this day was a defining moment for our team,'' said linebacker Ray Lewis, who had 13 tackles. ''We never stopped believing in each other. We stuck together as a team.''

St. Louis needed a last-second field goal by Jeff Wilkins to force Arizona into OT, then Wilkins won it 30-27 with a 49-yard kick.

''I think I had a little more thoughts running through my head today,'' Wilkins said, ''but fortunately when the time came, I was able to clear the mind and put a good foot on it.''

New England also escaped on a field goal in the extra period as Adam Vinatieri connected from 28 yards to beat Houston 23-20.

''I didn't think we particularly played well, but we have a lot of tough guys in that locker room that stepped up and made a lot of big plays at key times,'' Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.

Ravens 44, Seahawks 41, OT

At Baltimore, the Ravens (6-5) stormed back behind Anthony Wright. The former third-string quarterback had the finest performance of his career. He went 20-for-37 for 319 yards and a personal-best four touchdowns - all to Marcus Robinson.

Matt Hasselbeck threw a career-high five touchdown passes for the Seahawks, going 23-for-41 for 333 yards. Darrell Jackson had seven receptions for 146 yards and two scores, and Bobby Engram also had two touchdown catches. But the Seahawks (7-4) fell to 1-4 on the road.

Patriots 23, Texans 20, OT

At Houston, Tom Brady's 4-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Graham forced overtime, but Adam Vinatieri had his 37-yard field-goal attempt blocked early in the extra session. Then, Vinatieri made the winner with 41 seconds left to extend New England's winning streak to seven games.

The Patriots (9-2) were ready to end overtime quickly when Mike Vrabel picked off Tony Banks' pass on the first play. But Ramon Walker gave the Texans (4-7) a stay with the first field goal block in franchise history.

Rams 30, Cardinals 27, OT

At Tempe, Ariz., St. Louis (8-3) took sole possession of the NFC West lead after Wilkins' second winning kick in a row - his 31-yarder last week beat the Bears. Marc Bulger, who threw four interceptions, led the Rams on a 16-play, 82-yard drive and Wilkins' 24-yard field goal tied it at 27 as regulation ended.

Jeff Blake threw two second-half touchdown passes to rookie Anquan Boldin and the Cardinals (3-8) rallied from a 14-point third-quarter deficit to take a 27-24 lead.

Chiefs 27, Raiders 24

At Kansas City, another classic in this long rivalry ended when Morten Andersen booted a 35-yard field goal with 4 seconds left. Trent Green hit Marc Boerigter for 16 yards on fourth-and-14 to set it up for the Chiefs (10-1), who have the NFL's best record.

Cowboys 24, Panthers 20

At Irving, Texas, Dallas moved into a four-way tie for the NFC's best record with Carolina, St. Louis and Philadelphia, all at 8-3.

Titans 38, Falcons 31

At Atlanta, with Steve McNair sidelined by a calf injury, Billy Volek threw his second career touchdown pass, rallying the Titans (9-2) from a 21-point deficit. Justin McCareins scored twice, on a 58-yard punt return and a 14-yard TD pass from Volek.

Atlanta (2-9) got an 86-guard touchdown on a screen pass to Warrick Dunn and Doug Johnson threw for 276 yards.

Colts 17, Bills 14

At Orchard Park, N.Y., Edgerrin James carried Indianapolis' banged-up offense, scoring twice, including the winner on a fourth-down plunge from inside the 1 with 1:38 remaining.

Vikings 24, Lions 14

At Minneapolis, the Vikings (7-4) snapped a four-game losing streak and remained one game ahead of Green Bay in the NFC North. Corey Chavous and Brian Williams each returned interceptions for touchdowns late in the game.

The Lions (3-8) tied Buffalo (1983-86) for the second-longest road skid in NFL history at 22 games. The Houston Oilers (1981-84) own the league record with 23 consecutive losses away from home.
