EAGLES ...34 FALCONS ...7 Michael Vick took the snap, sprinted to his right, made a quick cut to the left, broke a tackle and dove into the end zone. He wasn't done, either. Turns out, No. 7 still rules Atlanta. Making quite a return to the Georgia Dome, Vick accounted for a pair of touchdowns - one running, the other passing - and basked in the cheers of his former home as Philadelphia thoroughly dominated short-handed Atlanta. The Eagles pulled two games ahead of the reeling Falcons in the NFC wild-card standings, bringing a little more clarity to the playoff race. But most of the attention was on Vick's first game in Atlanta since he went off to prison for dogfighting. Vick ran for a 5-yard touchdown in the third quarter, his first score since Oct. 15, 2006.

CHIEFS ...16 RAIDERS ...10 Jamaal Charles scored on a 44-yard run for Kansas City's first rushing touchdown of the season and the Chiefs used a late interception to win their seventh straight game in Oakland. The Chiefs have managed to win just five of their past 35 games. But three of those wins have come at the Oakland Coliseum, where Kansas City has the longest winning streak ever by a visiting team.
