Reuters

The Seattle Seahawks needed overtime this time, but the Super Bowl champions defeated the Denver Broncos again in a rematch of last season’s NFL title game.
Running back Marshawn Lynch bulldozed his way into the end zone from six yards out to give the Seahawks a 26-20 victory after the Broncos had rallied from a 17-5 deficit in the fourth quarter.
But there were surprises on the third week of the National Football League season as the Detroit Lions defence overwhelmed the Green Bay Packers, Eli Manning engineered the New York Giants’ first win and the unbeaten Arizona Cardinals beat the San Francisco 49ers.
In other games, the Dallas Cowboys rallied from a 21-0 deficit to scrape past the Rams 34-31 in St. Louis, the New England Patriots defeated the visiting Oakland Raiders 16-9.

Philadelphia and New Orleans also came away with needed wins.
At Detroit, defensive back Don Carey scored on a 40-yard fumble return in the first quarter and running back Reggie Bush had a 26-yard scoring run in the fourth as the Lions beat the Packers 19-7, holding Green Bay to 223 yards total offense.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was held to 162 yards and a single touchdown and was sacked twice as he suffered only his second loss to the Lions in 11 career meetings.
“Our defence did an outstanding job of getting off the field all day,” Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, who threw for 246 yards on 22 of 34 passing, told reporters.

“Against that group that they were going up against, that was pretty awesome.
“There are going to be times like today where the offense was laboring to put points up and our defense is going to do a great job of getting off the field and holding them to seven. It’s complimentary football.”
Green Bay had won 15 of their previous 17 games against the Lions.
New York’s Manning threw for 234 yards and two touchdowns as the Giants beat Houston 30-17, handing the Texans their first loss of the season.
The Giants led 14-0 at halftime, after touchdowns by wide receiver Victor Cruz on a pass from Manning and running back Rashad Jennings’s one-yard run, then withstood a third-quarter rally by the Texans to secure the win.
