ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – The Giants (10-5) clinched a playoff berth by overcoming a Bills team inspired by Kevin Everett’s return to the field where he was injured.

Brandon Jacobs scored twice and Ahmad Bradshaw had an 88-yard TD run in sloppy conditions as the usually pass-happy Giants leaned heavily on their running attack. Kawika Mitchell’s 20-yard interception return produced the go-ahead points and sparked a three-touchdown fourth-quarter rally.

Buffalo (7-8) forced Eli Manning to fumble five times – he lost two of them, and threw two interceptions in winds gusting over 30 mph, and the players were pelted by a persistent rain that turned into snow in the fourth quarter.

Bears 35, Packers 7

CHICAGO – Green Bay (12-3) can forget about the No. 1 seed in the NFC, which Dallas now owns.

Brian Urlacher returned an interception for a touchdown for the first time in his career, going 85 yards, and Adrian Peterson ran for 102 yards on a frigid afternoon.

Brett Favre was at his worst on a bone-chilling, windy and at times snowy afternoon, and the Packers took their second loss at the hands of their archrivals. He passed for just 9 yards in the first half and 153 overall, giving him 4,058 this season and putting him over the 4,000-yard mark for the fifth time.

The Bears (6-9) blocked two punts by Jon Ryan, who also dropped a snap and booted a 9-yarder.

Jaguars 49, Raiders 11

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Fred Taylor’s 62-yard touchdown run on Jacksonville’s opening play set the tone for a rout that propelled the Jaguars into the playoffs.

Taylor finished with 111 yards as the Jaguars (11-4) won for the sixth time in seven games and clinched the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs.

The Raiders (4-11), who took their worst loss of the season, finally turned things over to No. 1 draft pick JaMarcus Russell. Russell was 7-of-23 for 83 yards with a touchdown – a 2-yard pass to Zach Miller with 6 seconds remaining – three interceptions and a fumble.

Titans 10, Jets 6

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans are back in control of their chase for their first playoff berth since 2003. Pro Bowler Kyle Vanden Bosch had three of Tennessee’s six sacks and Chris Brown ran for a touchdown.

The Titans (9-6) have the edge over Cleveland in tiebreakers if tied for the AFC’s final wild-card berth. They still must close out the season with a victory over the defending Super Bowl champs in Indianapolis.

The Jets (3-12) started Tennessee native Chad Pennington for the first time since Oct. 28. He finished with 264 yards passing, and New York outgained Tennessee 296-273 on offense. But he was picked off twice, including once in the end zone by linebacker Keith Bulluck.

Bengals 19, Browns 14

CINCINNATI – Derek Anderson’s consecutive interceptions set up a pair of rapid-fire touchdowns late in the first half, and he threw four in all in a loss that left the Browns scrambling for a playoff spot.

Cleveland (9-6) could have clinched with a victory over the down-and-out Bengals (6-9), who had nothing more than pride on the line and several starters out with injuries. The Browns acted more like the team playing it out: dropped passes, a botched field-goal attempt, coming up short on fourth-and-short. Ultimately, they couldn’t overcome a bad game by Anderson, who had his best moments when the intrastate rivals met in a 51-45 win in September.

Eagles 38, Saints 23

NEW ORLEANS – Donovan McNabb passed for 263 yards and three touchdowns, jeopardizing the Saints’ chances for making the playoffs.

McNabb no longer showed any effects of his rehabilitation from knee surgery over the summer or an ankle sprain in midseason. His 40-yard scramble on the third play led to a bizarre touchdown after his fumble was recovered in the end zone by Kevin Curtis.

Drew Brees threw for 289 yards and a touchdown, but lost his best receiver when Marques Colston left the game in the first half with a chest contusion.

Philadelphia (7-8) followed with a 15-play, 98-yard, seven-minute scoring drive that McNabb capped with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Greg Lewis. McNabb also had touchdown passes of 31 yards to Reggie Brown and 7 yards to Curtis.

Seahawks 27, Ravens 6

SEATTLE – Matt Hasselbeck shook off two interceptions to throw two touchdown passes and Shaun Alexander had his biggest rushing day since Week 4 as the Seahawks clinched the No. 3 seed in the NFC.

Hasselbeck’s scores gave him a career-high 27 TD throws this season. One went to Alexander, on a screen pass of 14 yards. That gave Seattle (10-5) a 21-0 lead late in the first half.

The Ravens (4-11), with 2006 Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith completing 16 of 33 passes in his first NFL start, extended their franchise-record losing streak to nine games. It took Smith’s 79-yard TD pass to Derrick Mason with 4:41 left for Baltimore to avoid its first shutout since Sept. 15, 2002.

49ers 21, Buccaneers 19

SAN FRANCISCO – Shaun Hill passed for three touchdowns to remain unbeaten as an NFL starter, and Michael Clayton landed out of bounds with his catch on a 2-point conversion attempt with 1:20 left for Tampa Bay (9-6).

Nate Clements’ 62-yard interception return set up Frank Gore’s TD catch with 14:11 left for the 49ers (5-10), who beat a team with a winning record for the first time this year. Darrell Jackson and Vernon Davis also caught touchdown passes for San Francisco, which also won consecutive games for the first time since the season’s first two weeks.

Luke McCown passed for 185 yards in relief for Tampa Bay.

McCown rallied the Bucs for a late 61-yard TD drive in 85 seconds, with Jerramy Stevens catching his second TD pass. But Clayton’s foot was clearly out of bounds when he came down with a pass on the 2-point attempt, and San Francisco recovered the onside kick.

Colts 38, Texans 15

INDIANAPOLIS – Peyton Manning threw three touchdown passes, Joseph Addai and Clifton Dawson ran for TDs, and the Colts scored on six of their first eight possessions.

In what was likely to be the last significant action for Indy’s starters until mid-January when the AFC’s No. 2 seed will play in the divisional round of the playoffs, Manning & Co. finished with 458 yards, scored 38 unanswered points and won their sixth in a row.

The Super Bowl MVP was 28-of-35 for 311 yards with a rating of 132.3 before leaving late in the third quarter. Three Indy running backs – Addai, Dawson and Kenton Keith – combined to give the Colts (13-2) their first 100-yard rushing day since Thanksgiving night, and Dallas Clark broke the single-season franchise records for receptions and touchdown catches by a tight end.

Cardinals 30, Falcons 27 (OT)

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Neil Rackers kicked a 29-yard field goal to force overtime, then booted one from 31 yards on the first possession of the extra session. Rackers celebrated by sliding on his knees across the grass. He had missed what would have been a game-winning 32-yarder against San Francisco earlier this season.

The Falcons (3-12), who rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to take the lead, lost their sixth in a row in a season that has included the loss of star quarterback Michael Vick in a dogfighting scandal and the abrupt departure of coach Bobby Petrino.

With a victory at home next Sunday against St. Louis, Arizona (7-8) would have its best record since going 9-7 and making the playoffs in 1998. It would be just the third time since 1984 that the Cardinals have not had a losing record.

Lions 25, Chiefs 20

DETROIT – The Lions took advantage of playing a team slumping more than them and avoided making NFL history.

The Lions (7-8) snapped a six-game losing streak and surpassed the most victories they’ve had in any of seven seasons under team president Matt Millen.

Detroit also guaranteed it won’t be the first team in the league to finish 6-10 after winning six of its first eight games.

Kansas City (4-11) has dropped eight straight, the franchise’s worst skid since losing nine in a row in 1987.

T.J. Duckett ran for a season-high 102 yards and a touchdown, and Detroit had a 19-point lead in the first half, but the victory wasn’t sealed until Chiefs receiver Samie Parker foolishly dived to the ground at the Lions 30 after getting a lateral with no time left.
