NFL ROUNDUP \ Sunday's other games

NFC
Eagles 12, Cowboys 7
PHILADELPHIA -- Dorsey Levens' 2-yard touchdown run with 1:57 remaining helped Philadelphia clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. But the win was costly for Philadelphia, which lost wide receiver Terrell Owens to an ankle injury. Owens didn't return after spraining his right ankle early in the third quarter. The Eagles (13-1) set a franchise record for regular-season victories. Donovan McNabb threw for 223 yards and one TD, but was intercepted twice. Vinny Testaverde also was intercepted twice, including a pick by Lito Sheppard on Dallas' final drive. Keyshawn Johnson had a TD catch for Dallas (5-9).
Vikings 28, Lions 27
DETROIT -- Detroit botched an extra-point kick with eight seconds remaining that would have tied the game. The Lions went 80 yards in 1:29 to pull within a point on Joey Harrington's second touchdown pass to Roy Williams. Then, Don Muhlbach's snap bounced to holder Nick Harris, who was tackled before he could get the football spotted for kicker Jason Hanson. Despite losing five of their previous seven games, Minnesota can win the NFC North with a victory Friday at home over Green Bay and at Washington. Daunte Culpepper was 25-of-35 for 404 yards with three TD passes and Moe Williams scored the go-ahead TD on an 11-yard run with 1:37 remaining.
Saints 21, Buccaneers 17
TAMPA, Fla. -- Aaron Brooks threw two touchdown passes in the last four minutes, including a 7-yarder to Donte' Stallworth with 32 seconds remaining, to keep the Saints' playoff hopes alive. It was the second-straight comeback win for New Orleans. The victory lifted the Saints into a tie with Carolina and St. Louis for the last wild card spot in the NFC. Simeon Rice had 3 1/2 sacks for the Bucs.
Cardinals 31, Rams 7
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Josh McCown threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more and the Cardinals snapped a four-game losing streak. McCown, starting his second game since being benched for three, went 22-of-34 for 287 yards with no interceptions. He had TD passes of 8 and 4 yards to Larry Fitzgerald, and scoring runs of 1 and 9 yards. With Rams quarterback Marc Bulger out with a shoulder injury, 39-year-old Chris Chandler lasted just one quarter before he was replaced by Jamie Martin, who couldn't get the offense into the end zone, either. The Rams' touchdown came on Leonard Little's 61-yard fumble return with seven seconds remaining in the first half.
AFC
Chiefs 45, Broncos 17
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Larry Johnson and Eddie Kennison each scored two touchdowns and Dante Hall returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for another score. The Chiefs (6-8) scored on four of their first five possessions, aided on every drive by Denver mistakes. The Broncos lost for the third time in four games, and were flagged 10 times for 100 yards. Jake Plummer threw two interceptions that set up Kansas City touchdowns and was sacked six times. Johnson had his third straight game with over 100 yards rushing, running for 151 yards on 30 carries. Trent Green hit 16-of-19 passes for 224 yards and three touchdowns. He had touchdown tosses of 7 and 18 to Kennison.
Raiders 40, Titans 35
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Kerry Collins threw for 371 yards and matched his career high with five touchdown passes, hitting Jerry Porter for three scores, and outdueling Billy Volek. Volek had the second-best passing day in franchise history with 492 yards and four touchdowns. But it wasn't enough to keep Tennessee from losing its fourth straight game. Drew Bennett established a career high with 13 receptions (for 160 yards), tying the Titans' franchise record for catches. He caught two touchdown passes in the first half, reaching 10 TDs for the first time in his career. Porter caught scoring passes of 32, 18 and 3 yards, his second three-TD game of the season, and had eight catches for 148 yards for the Raiders (5-9).
INTERCONFERENCE
Jets 37, Seahawks 14
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Chad Pennington threw three touchdown passes and Curtis Martin had 134 yards and two touchdown runs. The Seahawks had another disappointing day in their bid to stay atop the NFC West, with three turnovers, which the Jets converted into 14 points. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck injured his right elbow in the first half, and Trent Dilfer came on in relief. The Seahawks also were on the losing end of another call officials appeared to blow. Martin scored on a 3-yard run in the second quarter even though replays showed he never reached the goal line. Coach Mike Holmgren challenged the call, but referee Scott Green determined the TD should stand.
Texans 24, Bears 5
CHICAGO -- Houston allowed the fewest points in its three-year history and got four turnovers to beat the Bears. David Carr threw a TD pass to Corey Bradford and also set up a field goal with a 69-yard toss to Jabar Gaffney. Domanick Davis scored on an 11-yard run in the fourth quarter and Charlie Anderson capped the victory by returning a fumble 60 yards for a TD with 2:37 left. Carr was 13-of-28 for 220. The Bears failed to score a touchdown for the second straight game. Chad Hutchinson, under a heavy rush all day, finished 17-of-34 for 168 yards.
Jaguars 28, Packers 25
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Byron Leftwich threw two touchdown passes, Fred Taylor rushed for 165 yards and a touchdown and Rashean Mathis picked off Brett Favre twice. Jimmy Smith caught two touchdowns for Jacksonville. Favre turned over the ball four times and fell to 31-4 at home after Dec. 1, losing for just the second time in 40 cold-weather games at home. Nevertheless, the Packers became the ninth team in NFL history to reach the playoffs after a 1-4 start. Jaguars safety Donovan Darius was ejected for a helmet-stripping, clothesline hit that sent wide receiver Robert Ferguson to the hospital for X-rays on his neck and head with 4:41 remaining.
