Fragmentary OCR data lists NFL standings, passing, rushing, receiving, and field goals with numerous player names and team references. The readable items mention Kansas City, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Dallas players and statistics, but many details are garbled. The result resembles a dated box score or sports bulletin with incomplete lines and mixed figures.
In San Francisco, Terrell Owens caught a record 20 passes for 283 yards and a touchdown as the 49ers shut out the Bears 17 0. Jerry Rice, honored in pregame tributes, finished with seven receptions for 74 yards and watched Owens break his franchise records, signaling a passing of the torch.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Aaron Brooks, in only his fourth NFL start, led a 23-7 victory over Atlanta. Brooks completed 24 of 35 passes for 285 yards as the Saints improved to 10-5 and moved closer to clinching a playoff spot, while the Falcons dropped to 3-12. The Saints crown their success with a 7-0 mark against NFC West teams and a looming season finale against St. Louis.
The Chargers outgained Carolina 358-169 and led 22-14 late in the third quarter before a punt return TD by Uwaezuoke and Leaf’s late miscue changed the momentum. Leaf threw his 17th interception as Freddie Jones’ pass ricocheted to Lee Woodall, setting up a Nedney field goal to give Carolina a 23-22 edge.
