Chiefs hand Packers first loss

The Green Bay Packers' perfect season came to a crashing halt on Sunday against the beleaguered Kansas City Chiefs, who rallied behind interim coach Romeo Crennel and new quarterback Kyle Orton to a shocking 19-14 victory.

Orton finished 23 of 31 for 299 yards in his first start for the Chiefs (6-8), who fired coach Todd Haley last Monday with the team having lost five of its last six games. The loss also ended a 19-game winning streak for the Packers 13-1).

Aaron Rodgers was just 17 of 35 for 235 yards and a touchdown, and he also scampered eight yards for another touchdown with 2:12 left in the game. But the Packers were unable to recover the onside kick and then pick up a couple of first downs to secure the victory.

Colts 27, Titans 13: Dan Orlovsky threw one touchdown pass and the key block on an 80-yard TD run, leading host Indianapolis (1-13) over Tennessee (7-7) for its first win of the season.

Indianapolis avoided becoming the second team in NFL history to go 0-16. The loss dealt a serious blow to the Titans' playoff hopes.

Former Washington standout Jake Locker got the Titans within 20-13 with a 7-yard TD pass to Nate Washington with 3:43 to go. But on the next play from scrimmage, with Donald Brown reversing field, Orlovsky threw a block that helped Brown get to the corner and sprint 80 yards to seal the win.

Patriots 41, Broncos 23: Tom Brady and New England shut down Tim Tebow and the visiting Patriots (11-3) clinched a playoff berth by beating Denver (8-6).

This time, there was no last-minute magic from Tebow, Denver's enigmatic quarterback who had guided the Broncos to four straight fourth-quarter comebacks and six straight wins.

Instead of another slow start followed by a fantastic finish, the Broncos started out fast and then fizzled. They scored on their first three possessions and then were done in by a trio of second-quarter turnovers.

Eagles 45, Jets 19: LeSean McCoy ran for three touchdowns to set two team records and kept host Philadelphia (7-7) alive in the NFC East race with a win over New York (8-6).

The Eagles have won two straight for the second time this season and somehow still have a chance to repeat as division champions despite underachieving most of the year. But they have to catch Dallas and the New York Giants (7-7).

Lions 28, Raiders 27: Matthew Stafford threw a 6-yard TD pass to Calvin Johnson with 39 seconds remaining to cap a 98-yard scoring drive as visiting Detroit (9-5) rallied from 13 points down late in the fourth quarter to beat Oakland (7-7).

The win wasn't sealed until Ndamukong Suh blocked Sebastian Janikowski's 65-yard field goal attempt on the final play.

Cardinals 20, Browns 17, OT: At Glendale, Ariz., Patrick Peterson returned a punt 32 yards and John Skelton threw 32 yards to Larry Fitzgerald to set up a 22-yard field goal by Jay Feely and Arizona (7-7) beat Cleveland (4-10).

It was the Cardinals' third overtime win in seven games.

Arizona , winner of six of its last seven, trailed 17-7 entering the fourth quarter.

Both teams were without their starting quarterbacks because of concussions. Skelton, in relief of Kevin Kolb, completed 28 of 36 for 313 yards with a touchdown and interception.

Saints 42, Vikings 20: At Minneapolis, Drew Brees threw for 412 yards and five touchdowns and New Orleans (11-3) beat Minnesota (2-12) for its sixth win in a row.

Brees completed 32 of 40 passes to help the Saints overcome a slow and sloppy start and stay two games ahead of Atlanta in the NFC South. Brees is 304 yards from breaking Dan Marino's single-season record for yards passing with two games to play.

Brees threw two touchdown passes to Lance Moore and one each to Darren Sproles, Jimmy Graham and John Gilmore.

Redskins 23, Giants 10: At East Rutherford, N.J., Rex Grossman threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Santana Moss and Washington (5-9) hurt New York's (7-7) playoff hopes.

The loss knocked the Giants out of first place in the NFC East. Dallas now leads the division by a game with two to go, including one with Giants on the final weekend. If New York beats the Jets and the Cowboys in its final two games it will win the division.

Grossman threw a 20-yard scoring pass to Santana Moss, Darrel Young scored on a 6-yard run after one of three interceptions by the Redskins and Graham Gano kicked three field goals. It was Washington's second win in its last 10 games.

Panthers 28, Texans 13: Cam Newton threw two touchdown passes, DeAngelo Williams ran for a score and visiting Carolina (5-9) ended Houston's (10-4) seven-game winning streak.

The Texans are playing for home-field advantage in the playoffs after clinching the AFC South last weekend.

Newton completed 13 of 23 passes for 149 yards, outplaying opposing rookie quarterback T.J. Yates. The Panthers built a 21-0 halftime lead, then ended Houston's second-half rally when linebacker James Anderson intercepted Yates in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter.

Dolphins 30, Bills 23: At Orchard Park, N.Y., Reggie Bush ran for a career-best 203 yards and touchdown to lead Miami(5-9) over Buffalo (5-9) in interim Dolphins coach Todd Bowles' first game.

The Bills have lost seven straight and could finishing last in the AFC East for the fourth straight year. Ryan Fitzpatrick finished 31 of 47 for 316 yards and a TD.

Bush sealed the win with a 76-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Matt Moore threw two touchdowns passes, and Vontae Davis had two of Miami's three interceptions.

Bengals 20, Rams 13: Rookie A.J. Green had six catches and topped 1,000 yards for the season, and visiting Cincinnati (8-6) beat St. Louis (2-12) to keep pace in the AFC playoff race.

Brandon Tate's 56-yard punt return set up Bernard Scott's go-ahead touchdown run late in the third quarter and Cedric Benson added a short scoring run in the fourth for the Bengals, who won for the second time in six games.

Green caught a 55-yarder to set up a field goal for the game's first score. He has 1,006 yards receiving, leaving him 3 shy of Cris Collinsworth's franchise rookie record in 1981.

Chargers 34, Ravens 14: Philip Rivers threw for one score and reached the 4,000-yard mark for the fourth straight season, Ryan Mathews ran for two scores and hit 1,000 yards rushing, and host San Diego (7-7) kept its slim postseason hopes alive by beating against the playoff-bound Baltimore (10-4).

The Chargers neutralized Baltimore's normally ferocious defense, which got Ray Lewis back after a four-game injury absence, and scored on six of their first seven possessions. San Diego is tied with Oakland, a game behind Denver with two to play. San Diego has won three straight after a six-game losing streak.

The Ravens had their four-game winning streak snapped, but clinched a playoff berth earlier in the day thanks to losses by the New York Jets, Oakland and Tennessee.
