Tebow-led OT drive leads Broncos past San Diego

Matt Prater kicked a 37-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in overtime to lift Tim Tebow and the visiting Denver Broncos to a 16-13 victory Sunday over the San Diego Chargers (4-7), who've lost six straight games for the first time in 10 years.

The Broncos (6-5) narrowly avoided the first NFL tie since Cincinnati and Philadelphia ended deadlocked at 13 on Nov. 16, 2008.

Tebow, now 5-1 as the Broncos' starter, led Denver from its 43 after San Diego's Nick Novak was wide right on a 53-yard field goal attempt with 2:31 left in overtime. Novak made a 53-yarder in the first quarter, a career-best, and was wide right on a 48-yard try early in the fourth quarter.

Tebow had a 12-yard gain and Willis McGahee ran 24 yards up the middle to set up Prater's winning kick, which was right down the middle.

Raiders 25, Bears 20: Sebastian Janikowski kicked a team-record six field goals and host Oakland (7-4) took advantage of three interceptions from Chicago's (7-4) fill-in starter Caleb Hanie.

Carson Palmer threw for 301 yards and Michael Bush iced the game with a touchdown run in the fourth quarter to lead the Raiders to their third straight win against a Bears team missing starting quarterback Jay Cutler.

Patriots 38, Eagles 20: Tom Brady threw for 361 yards and three touchdowns as New England (8-3) all but ended host Philadelphia's (4-7) playoff hopes.

Filling in for the injured Michael Vick for the second straight game, Vince Young couldn't keep the Eagles in contention despite a career-best 400 yards passing.

Steelers 13, Chiefs 9: Ben Roethlisberger threw a short touchdown pass to Weslye Saunders and visiting Pittsburgh (8-3) took advantage of four turnovers by Tyler Palko to beat Kansas City (4-7).

Playing with a broken thumb on his throwing hand, Roethlisberger was 21 of 31 for 193 yards and an interception for the Steelers, whose defense lost All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu to an injury in the first quarter yet still kept the bumbling Chiefs from scoring a touchdown.

Panthers 27, Colts 19: Cam Newton threw for 208 yards and ran for one score and DeAngelo Williams scored twice to help visiting Carolina (3-8) hold off Indianapolis (0-11).

Newton was 20 of 27 and carried nine times for 53 yards. Williams ran 15 times for 69 yards including the game-sealing score - a 2-yard TD run with 10:23 left in the game.

Falcons 24, Vikings 14: Matt Ryan tossed three touchdown passes and host Atlanta (7-4) held on again, this time beating Minnesota (2-9).

The Falcons were up 17-0 at halftime after allowing just 97 yards. But, mimicking the previous week's closer-than-necessary victory over Tennessee, they let Minnesota back in the game.

Texans 20, Jaguars 13: At Jacksonville, Fla., Matt Leinart injured his throwing shoulder, overshadowing Houston's (8-3) victory against offensively inept Jacksonville (3-8).

Arian Foster ran for 65 yards and a score, Leinart delivered a perfect touchdown pass to Joel Dreessen before leaving the game and the Texans sacked Blaine Gabbert six times.

Jets 28, Bills 24: At East Rutherford, N.J., Mark Sanchez threw four touchdown passes, including the winning score to Santonio Holmes with just over a minute remaining, and New York (6-5) beat Buffalo (5-6).

Cardinals 23, Rams 20: Patrick Peterson tied the NFL record with his fourth punt return for a touchdown this season, Beanie Wells set a franchise mark with 228 yards rushing, and Arizona (4-7) won its seventh in a row in St. Louis (2-9).

Titans 23, Buccaneers 17: At Nashville, Tenn., Chris Johnson ran for a season-high 190 yards, and former Seattle Seahawk Matt Hasselbeck threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Damian Williams on fourth-and-2 with 3:01 left to lift Tennessee (6-5) past Tampa Bay (4-7).

Bengals 23, Browns 20: A.J. Green made a leaping catch for a 51-yard gain in the final minute, setting up a field goal that rallied host Cincinnati (7-4) over Cleveland (4-7).
