New England Patriots-17
Buffalo Bills-10
The Pats barely held on in Buffalo, despite a very pedestrian game from Tom Brady. This was the first time the Pats won on the road in the US all year. Randy Moss bounced back from the worst game of his career last week and scored a TD.

Arizona Cardinals-31
Detroit Lions-24
The Cardinals clinched the NFC West crown today thanks to their win in Detroit combined with the 49ers loss in Philly. Larry Fitzgerald caught his 11th TD of the season. Beanie Wells and Maurice Morris both rushed for over 100 yards and a score.

Miami Dolphins-24
Tennessee Titans-27 (OT)
Rob Bironas kicked the game winning field goal in OT to bring the Titans to .500 after starting the season 0-6. Chad Henne threw for 349 yards, but threw 3 picks in the process. Vince Young threw for 3 TDs and Chris Johnson had yet another 100 yard game.

Cleveland Browns-41
Kansas City Chiefs-34
For two teams that are absolutely brutal on offense, they put up quite a lot of points. Highlighted by 2 kickoff return TDs by Joshua Cribbs and a franchise-record 286 rushing yards (and 3 TDs) by Jerome Harrison, the Browns beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead despite a season-high 331 passing yards from Matt Cassel.

Houston Texans-16
St. Louis Rams-13
In a pretty boring contest, the Texans took down the Rams in St. Louis to climb back to .500 for the season. Andre Johnson continues to make "The U" proud with another 9 catches and 196 yards today.

Atlanta Falcons-10
New York Jets-7
Thanks to a TD pass from Matty Ice to Tony Gonzalez with 1:38 left, the Falcons dropped the Jets down to .500 with so many other AFC teams in the hunt for the Wild Card. Mark Sanchez threw another 3 INTs and one 65-yard TD pass to Braylon Edwards.

Oakland Raiders-20
Denver broncos-19
JaMarcus Russell, yeah that JaMarcus Russell, threw the game-winning TD pass to Chaz Schilens with 35 seconds left to beat the Broncos in Denver. Denver falls to 8-6 and has to head to Philly next week for B-Dawk's highly anticipated return.

Cincinnati Bengals-24
San Diego Chargers-27
Playing with a heavy heart, the Cincinnati Bengals fell just short to the San Diego Chargers thanks to a Nate Kaeding 52-yard field goal in the final minute to give the Chargers their 9th straight win and another AFC West crown. Carson Palmer passed for 314 yards - his first 300-yard game since the final week of 2007.

San Francisco-13
Philadelphia Eagles-27
Despite two INTs from Donovan McNabb, the Eagles still won by a comfortable two TD margin against the 49ers at the Linc. The Eagles D forced 4 turnovers en route to a playoff-clinching victory, and in the process eliminating the 49ers from playoff contention.

Green Bay Packers-36
Pittsburgh Steelers-37
In the game of the day, Ben Roethlisberger threw the game-winning TD to Mike Wallace to give the Steelers a one point victory in a game that was a see-saw the whole time. Big Ben threw for a franchise record 503 yards. A-Rod threw for 383 yards and 3 TDs, including an 83-yarder to Greg Jennings as well as running in another score. The win ends the Steelers 5-game losing streak and brings them back into the playoff picture.

Tampa Bay Bucs-24
Seattle Seahawks-7
Tampa Bay snapped a five-game losing streak and scored more than 17 points for the first time in four games. Matt Hasselbeck threw a career-worst 4 INTs, leading to another loss in what has been a dreadful season for the Seahawks.

Chicago Bears-7
Baltimore Ravens-31
Joe Flacco threw for 4 TDs and Jay Cutler had a QB rating of 7.9...pretty much all you need to know. The Bears arrived in Baltimore late because of the snowstorm, they probably should have just stayed in Chicago.

Minnesota Vikings-7
Carolina Panthers-26
In a game that was fairly boring until the Panthers re-opened the scoring in the 4th quarter, the Vikings dropped another game on the road and are now in jeopardy of losing their #2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Behind some big plays by Steve Smith, the Panthers came up big on Sunday Night.
