Browns 26, Falcons 24
Atlanta Brian Hoyer shook off three interceptions, leading the Cleveland Browns down the field in the final minute to set up Billy Cundiff's 37-yard field goal as time expired for a victory over the Falcons. Taking advantage of the last of Hoyer's picks, the Falcons drove for Matt Bryant's 53-yard field goal with 44 seconds remaining to seize the lead. But Hoyer completed four straight passes, the last of them to the Falcons 19, and spiked the ball with five seconds left. Cundiff trotted on and made his fourth field goal of the game for the Browns (7-4).
Packers 24, Vikings 21
Minneapolis Eddie Lacy rushed for 125 yards on 25 carries, both season highs to help Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers hang on against the Minnesota Vikings. Lacy scored twice, on a run in the first quarter and a catch in the fourth. Then, he rumbled through the line for two first downs to drain the clock after the Vikings (4-7) cut the lead to three with 3:23 remaining. Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and again avoided a turnover for the Packers (8-3).
Eagles 43, Titans 24
Philadelphia Josh Huff returned the opening kickoff 107 yards, LeSean McCoy ran for 130 yards and the Eagles beat the Tennessee Titans. Mark Sanchez threw for 307 yards and one TD in his third start for the injured Nick Foles. He has 300 yards passing in three straight games, tying a team record. Now, the Eagles (8-3) can shift their focus to the Dallas Cowboys (7-3) for a first-place showdown on U.S. Thanksgiving. The top two teams in the NFC East will play twice in 18 days, starting with Thursday's game at Dallas.
Bengals 22, Texans 13
Houston Andy Dalton threw for 233 yards and a touchdown and A.J. Green had 121 yards receiving on a career-high 12 receptions to give the Cincinnati Bengals a win over the Houston Texans. The Bengals (7-3-1) led throughout, but Houston (5-6) cut the lead to three points late in the third quarter before Cincinnati tacked on two field goals in the fourth quarter to secure the win.
Bears 21, Buccaneers 13
Chicago Matt Forte rushed for two touchdowns in the third quarter, and the Chicago Bears beat Lovie Smith and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jay Cutler threw a two-yard TD pass to Alshon Jeffery as the Bears (5-6) scored 21 straight points to erase a 10-0 halftime deficit. Forte had a 13-yard run that put Chicago ahead to stay, and then added a one-yard plunge that made it 21-10. Smith coached the Bears to three playoff appearances and a trip to the 2007 Super Bowl.
Broncos 39, Dolphins 36
Denver Peyton Manning threw three of his four TD passes to Demaryius Thomas and C.J. Anderson ran for 167 yards and the go-ahead score in the Broncos' win over the Miami Dolphins.
Anderson's six-yard run with 5:01 left gave the Broncos (8-3) their first lead of the game at 32-28. T.J. Ward's 37-yard interception return of Ryan Tannehill's pass set up Wes Welker's insurance TD catch. The Broncos needed it after Tannehill drove the Dolphins (6-5) on another scoring drive, hitting Jarvis Landry from a yard out with 1:34 left. Lamar Miller's two-point dive made it a three-point game. The Dolphins' onside kick was recovered by Anderson, who sealed the game with a 26-yard run.
Colts 23, Jaguars 3
Indianapolis T.Y. Hilton celebrated the birth of his first child with a 73-yard TD catch, spurring a second-half turnaround that allowed Indianapolis to pull away from Jacksonville. Andrew Luck was 21 of 32 for 253 yards with one score, but his streak of consecutive 300-yard games ended at eight – one short of Drew Brees's NFL record. The Colts (7-4) have won 11 straight against AFC South foes. Jacksonville (1-10) has lost four straight over all and five straight to Indy.
Chargers 27, Rams 24
San Diego Marcus Gilchrist intercepted Shaun Hill at the goal line with 56 seconds left to preserve the Chargers' victory against the St. Louis Rams. Gilchrist jumped the route as journeyman Hill tried to force a pass to Kenny Britt on second-and-goal from the four. The Rams Hill had beaten Gilchrist on a seven-yard TD pass to Stedman Bailey with 2:04 left that pulled the Rams within three points. Ryan Mathews had a 32-yard touchdown run and linebacker Andrew Gachkar scored on a 13-yard fumble recovery 21 seconds later to help the Chargers (7-4) tighten the AFC West race.
49ers 17, Redskins 13
Santa Clara, Calif. Carlos Hyde ran for a go-ahead four-yard touchdown with 2:59 remaining, and the San Francisco 49ers barely squeaked by the lowly Washington Redskins with a 17-13 win Sunday that kept them in the thick of the playoff chase. A fourth-down conversion in their own territory away from losing, the Niners finally capitalized with a rare touchdown in the final period on the way to their third straight victory. San Francisco (7-4) overcame three turnovers.
