Rodgers throws 4 TDs to power Packers past Bears

Aaron Rodgers threw for 341 yards and four touchdowns to continue his mastery of the NFL's oldest rivalry as the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 45-30 on Sunday night.

The Packers scored the first 24 points of the second half to erase a 27-21 halftime deficit.

Green Bay (10-3) took a four-game lead over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North and moved closer to its third straight division title. Chicago (4-9) has lost seven of eight.

The Packers are 23-5 against the Bears in games Rodgers had started. Rodgers yelled, "I still own you!" to the Soldier Field crowd after his fourth-quarter touchdown run in a 24-14 victory on Oct. 17.

Chicago tried to deliver some payback Sunday and led after a wild second quarter that featured a combined 45 points.

But the Bears couldn't keep it up.

Chicago's Justin Fields went 18 of 33 for 224 yards with two touchdown passes, but he also threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. Jakeem Grant scored twice, including a 97-yard punt return.

Jones scored a pair of touchdowns less than a minute apart to put the Packers ahead for good.

Brady's 700th TD pass lifts Bucs over Bills in OT

Tom Brady became the NFL's all-time completions leader and threw his 700th touchdown pass for the winning score as the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers got a 33-27 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Brady threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns, and scored on a quarterback sneak set up by the 7,143rd completion of an unmatched 22-year career that includes seven Super Bowl titles.

Tampa Bay won it on Breshad Perriman's 58-yard catch-and-run with 5:31 left in OT — the 700th TD pass of Brady's career, including playoffs.

Despite blowing a 21-point halftime lead, the Bucs (10-3) won their fourth straight game and moved closer to clinching Tampa Bay's first NFC South title since 2007.

Josh Allen shrugged off a slow start to throw for 308 yards and two touchdowns for Buffalo. He also rushed for 109 yards and a TD, becoming the fourth player in league history to throw for over 300 yards and also rush for 100-plus in the same game.

Since starting 4-1, the Bills (7-6) had hardly resembled the team that won its first division title since 1995 and enjoyed its deepest playoff run in 27 years before losing to Kansas City in the AFC championship game last January.

Ravens QB Jackson injured in loss to Browns

Baker Mayfield threw two touchdown passes, Myles Garrett scored his first career TD and Cleveland stayed in the thick of the playoff race, surviving Baltimore's late comeback for a 24-22 win Sunday over the Ravens, who lost superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson with an ankle injury.

Healthier than he's been in weeks following Cleveland's bye, Mayfield connected with Jarvis Landry and Austin Hooper on first-half scores as Clevland (7-6) bounced back and beat the Ravens (8-5) after losing to them 15 days ago.

Of course it helped that Jackson went out with a sprained right ankle sustained on the first play of the second quarter and didn't return.

The former NFL MVP was unable to put any weight on the ankle, a frightening and concerning sight for the AFC North-leading Ravens, who have been overrun by injuries this season. Jackson was replaced by backup Tyler Huntley.

However he kept Baltimore close and the Ravens, who trailed 24-6 at half, pulled within 24-22 on Huntley's 8-yard TD pass to Mark Andrews with 1:17 to go.

Baltimore then recovered an onside kick, but couldn't convert on fourth-and-6 as Cleveland cornerback Denzel Ward tackled receiver Rashod Bateman well short of the marker.

Cleveland took a 24-3 lead late in the first half when Garrett set Cleveland's single-season sacks record in style — scoring on the play.

With the Ravens at their own 20, Garrett got around left tackle Alejandro Villanueva and knocked the ball free from Huntley as he tried to pass. Garrett scooped it up and rumbled down the left sideline for the score.

The Ravens could be in trouble, depending on the severity of Jackson's injury. The elusive QB got hurt when Cleveland rookie linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah dived at his legs while he completed a pass rolling right. Jackson limped to the sideline to be examined and then struggled while climbing into a cart to be driven off.

49ers take down Bengals in OT

The San Francisco 49ers took what the Bengals gave them and stayed in the playoff race.

Mistake-prone Cincinnati, however, made its path to the postseason more difficult.

On the final play, Aiyuk dived to the pylon and was initially ruled short, but a replay gave him the touchdown and San Francisco (7-6) a critical win.

Evan McPherson hit a 41-yard field goal on the opening possession of overtime to give the Bengals (7-6) a brief lead, their first of the day.

San Francisco's Robbie Gould missed a 47-yard field goal with 4 seconds left in regulation that would have won it.

That came after Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow found Ja'Marr Chase for two fourth-quarter touchdowns — the first on fourth-and-5 from the Niners' 17 — to claw back from a 20-6 deficit and tie the game with 1:19 left.

Deebo Samuel rushed for another score for San Francisco.

Herbert throws 3 TDs to lift Chargers past Giants

Even without two of their top players, Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers were able to get wins in consecutive games for the first time since early October.

Herbert threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns in Los Angeles' 37-21 victory over the New York Giants. The Chargers improved to 8-5 and are a game behind Kansas City going into Thursday night's pivotal AFC West matchup.

The game was tied at 7 after the first quarter before the Chargers broke it open with 30 straight points.

Los Angeles won despite missing wide receiver Keenan Allen and safety Derwin James. Allen tested positive for COVID-19 last Monday while James injured his hamstring during practice on Friday. He was added to the injury report with a questionable designation on Saturday.

Joshua Palmer and Jalen Guyton both picked up the slack without Allen in the lineup. Both had TD receptions in the second quarter.

Cowboys deliver on coach's guarantee vs. Washington

Beating Washington looked far from a guarantee for the Dallas Cowboys after their big lead shrunk, but coach Mike McCarthy is plenty confident winning a close game is good for his team.

Micah Parsons sacked Taylor Heinicke twice and forced a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, helping the Cowboys make good on McCarthy's "We're going to win this game" guarantee by holding on to beat Washington 27-20 Sunday and snap their rival's winning streak at four.

Dallas led 24-0 and 27-8 before Kyle Allen replaced Heinicke and led a 73-yard TD drive and Cole Holcomb intercepted Dak Prescott and ran it back for a pick-6. Washington's comeback bid came to an end when Allen fumbled with 2:24 remaining.

The Cowboys staked themselves to such a big lead thanks to a big first-half showing by their defence. Dallas forced four turnovers and had five sacks.

Doran Armstrong recovered the fumble Parsons forced and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown, and Randy Gregory picked off Heinicke and forced Allen to fumble on a sack the day after he was activated off injured reserve.

Kansas City rolls to record-setting victory over Raiders

Patrick Mahomes threw his first two touchdown passes in nearly a month, Clyde Edwards-Helaire added two more scores on the ground, and Kansas City forced five turnovers in rolling to a record-setting 48-9 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

Derek Gore's 51-yard TD run with 7:19 left in the fourth quarter allowed Kansas City (9-4) to eclipse the largest margin of victory in a series that began in 1960 and has been played 126 times. The previous record was 35 points in 1964.

Tyrann Mathieu had an interception and fumble recovery, Mike Hughes returned another fumble 23 yards for a touchdown, and the reigning AFC champion built a 35-0 first-half lead before cruising to their sixth consecutive win.

They've won eight of their last nine against the Raiders (6-7), outscoring them 89-23 in two meetings this season.

Derek Carr finished with 266 yards passing, much of it going to Hunter Renfrow, who caught 13 of 14 targets for 117 yards and a score. But Renfrow also had one of four fumbles and five turnovers total for Las Vegas.

It was the sixth straight game that the much-maligned Kansas City defence held an opponent to 17 points or fewer, the biggest reason for their turnaround from a mediocre 3-4 team to Super Bowl contender. They held Josh Jacobs to 24 yards rushing and the Raiders to 293 yards of total offense.

Kansas City coach Andy Reid improved to 15-3 against the team's most bitter rival. In doing so, the longtime Eagles coach joined Marty Schottenheimer and Hank Stram as the only coaches to win 100 games with Kansas City.

Titans dominate Jags for 1st home shutout since 2000

The Tennessee Titans were on the other side of a turnover-fest Sunday, getting four interceptions that helped them beat woeful Jacksonville 20-0 for their first home shutout in more than two decades.

It was the team's first shutout since 2018 at the New York Giants and its first at Nissan Stadium since Christmas Day 2000, a 31-0 drubbing of Dallas.

Rashaan Evans, Jayon Brown, Kristian Fulton and Buster Skrine picked off passes from rookie Trevor Lawrence, who hadn't thrown multiple interceptions in a game since his NFL debut.

Tennessee dominated Jacksonville's offensive line, sacking Lawrence three times and prompting four holding calls and a false start. All the interceptions were a direct result of pressure, but not blitzes.

The Titans (9-4) had been on the other end of turnover-filled games their previous two times out, losing to Houston and New England thanks mostly to a combined nine turnovers.

Jacksonville (2-11) provided the perfect remedy for a two-game skid. The Jaguars also extended a number of streaks of their own while failing to score in a game for the fourth time in franchise history and first time since 2009.
