The New York Giants’ defense not only got into Trent Dilfer’s head, they got to his back, his side and every other part of his body. Dilfer became the latest quarterback to suffer the wrath of Osi Umenyiora, Michael Strahan and Steve Spagnuolo’s sack-happy defense Sunday. The Giants won their fifth straight with a 33-15 victory over San Francisco, handing the 49ers their fourth straight loss.

Bironas’ NFL-record 8 FGs lift Titans (AP)

Tennessee Titans kicker Rob Bironas (2) is congratulated by fans as he leaves the field after kicking the game-winning 29-yard field goal during the closing seconds of the fourth quarter of an NFL football game against the Houston Texans Sunday, Oct. 21, 2007 in Houston. Bironas set a new NFL record by kicking eight field goals in the Titans 38-36 win over the Texans.

With Vince Young on the sidelines, the Tennessee Titans couldn’t finish drives. With the day Rob Bironas had, it didn’t matter. Bironas kicked an NFL-record eight field goals, including the game-winner as time expired, to lead the Titans to a 38-36 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. Backup Kerry Collins led the offense while Young missed playing in his hometown because of a strained quadriceps.
