49ERS 41

PATRIOTS 34

At Foxborough, Mass., Colin Kaepernick threw three touchdown passes, and San Francisco held off turnover-prone New England on a rainy night.

Six days after the Patriots’ 42-14 win over the Houston Texans, who had the NFL’s best record, looked to be on the other end in another game against one of the league’s top teams. But New England rallied to within a touchdown on a field goal within the final minute. San Francisco recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the win.

Kaepernick, making his fifth start after replacing Alex Smith as San Francisco’s starting quarterback, threw scoring passes of 24 yards to Randy Moss, 34 yards to Delanie Walker and 27 yards to Michael Crabtree.

The game was going so well for the 49ers that they even scored after Kaepernick fumbled on first-and-goal at the Patriots 3 after a 66-yard fumble return by Dashon Goldson. Frank Gore got the loose ball and ran 3 yards for the touchdown.

The Patriots entered the game with an NFL-low 10 turnovers.

Broncos 34

Ravens 17

At Baltimore, Chris Harris returned an interception 98 yards when the Ravens had first-and goal at the Denver 4 for a momentum-turning TD, and the Broncos won their ninth straight. Peyton Manning threw for 204 yards and a score in his ninth straight win against Baltimore, the first with the Broncos.
