Herman Moore set a franchise record with 14 catches, including one of 46 yards for a touchdown, for 183 yards as the Detroit Lions beat the Chicago Bears 27-7 on Monday night.
Charles Haley, of the Dallas Cowboys, has announced his retirement because of lower back pain caused by a ruptured disc. Haley was enticed out of retirement at the end of last season with a $3m (pounds 1.94m) signing-on bonus, and half of that counts against the team's salary cap for next season even if he does not return this time.
