The Vikings were missing their top two running backs and their top two tight ends, but that did not seem to matter much to Matt Cassel, who threw for two touchdowns and ran for another score against the Eagles. His 382 passing yards were the most by a Minnesota quarterback since Brett Favre had 446 in 2010, and he helped Greg Jennings catch a career-high 11 passes for 163 yards. The Vikings scored 48 points, their highest total since 1998, even as Matt Asiata filled in for Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart. Asiata needed 30 carries to total 51 yards, but he ran for the first touchdown - and the second and third - of his career, helping the Vikings control the clock after they took an early lead. They held the ball for 36 minutes 26 seconds. Robert Mathis forced a safety in the second half against the Texans, in the process breaking the Colts" single-season and career records for sacks. Mathis has 16 ½ sacks this season and 108 in his career, breaking marks set by his longtime teammate and close friend Dwight Freeney, who had 16 in 2004 and 107 ½ in his Colts career. The Chiefs scored 56 points - the highest total the Raiders have allowed in their history - behind stellar performances from Jamaal Charles and Alex Smith. Charles rushed for only 20 yards on eight carries, but he tied a franchise record with five touchdowns in a game (four receiving and one rushing). His 195 yards on eight catches gave him the third-most-productive receiving day by a running back since the 1970 A.F.L.-N.F.L. merger. Smith, meanwhile, threw for five scores and completed 17 of his 20 passes. The Browns lost the star cornerback Joe Haden against the Bears with a hip pointer. ...

Ravens (7-6) at Lions (7-6) Line: Lions by 7 With Chicago's Jay Cutler and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers having sustained injuries that sidelined them for weeks, one would think that Detroit could have wrapped up the N.F.C. North by now. Yet the Lions, who have not won a division title in two decades, are on the verge of wasting a golden opportunity. Baltimore, 1-5 on the road, will also be in need of a win at Ford Field to help keep its playoff hopes alive. "It's "Monday Night Football," " Ravens Coach John Harbaugh said. It's going to be loud. It's a hugely important game for both teams. Someone should probably remind Ravens safety Matt Elam to watch his mouth. Elam, 22, recently described the Lions" Calvin Johnson, 28, as "pretty old," and it is never a good idea to give one of the N.F.L."s top receivers any extra motivation.
