SAN DIEGO — Drew Bledsoe's reunion with Bill Parcells is off to a wild and impressive start.

Hit and harassed all afternoon, Bledsoe responded like the veteran he is, throwing three touchdown passes, two to Keyshawn Johnson, to lead the Dallas Cowboys to a 28-24 win over the defending AFC West champion San Diego Chargers yesterday.

"It is the best feeling in the world to have a close game come down to just a couple of plays and you are able to do it," said Bledsoe, who became the 10th player in NFL history to throw for 40,000 yards.

Bledsoe threw the winning 2-yard touchdown pass with 3:06 left as Johnson beat cornerback Sammy Davis on a quick out.

The Cowboys didn't get to celebrate, though, until Aaron Glenn intercepted Drew Brees' throw in the end zone with 24 seconds left.

Bledsoe was 18 of 24 for 226 yards, giving him 40,034 yards in his career.

"Bledsoe was pretty accurate," said Parcells, who made Bledsoe the first overall pick in the 1993 draft when he was the New England head coach. "When we were open, he hit it, pretty much."

San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson was held to 72 yards on 19 carries. He scored on a 2-yard run in the first quarter, his 13th straight game with a TD rushing to tie the NFL record held by John Riggins and George Rogers.

JAGUARS 26, SEAHAWKS 14

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Receiver Jimmy Smith caught seven passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns, and Fred Taylor ran strong in his return from a serious knee injury as the Jaguars beat the Seattle Seahawks.

Smith, 36, showed he hasn't lost a step. Taylor broke tackles, took hard hits and gained 76 yards despite a bulky brace on his left knee. And quarterback-turned-receiver Matt Jones emerged as a triple threat.

On defense, the Jaguars intercepted three passes and forced a fumble. Special teams forced a fumble on the opening kickoff that led to a field goal.

"When you play a team like that on the road, you can't turn the ball over. That's an overused term, but it's appropriate today," Seattle coach Mike Holmgren said.

The Jaguars also unveiled several trick plays, using Jones at quarterback and on running plays. The first-round pick ran twice for 28 yards, completed a 6-yard pass, and caught two passes for 22 yards.
