NFL ROUNDUP | Sunday’s other games

AFC

Bills 38, Dolphins 17

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Rookie Trent Edwards’ four touchdown passes, two each to Lee Evans and Robert Royal, led Buffalo over the woeful Dolphins, dropping Miami to 0-13. Miami is off to the third-worst start to a season in NFL history, joining Oakland (1962) and Indianapolis (1986).

Chargers 23, Titans 17, OT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — LaDainian Tomlinson scored on a 16-yard run with 7:29 left in overtime, and the Chargers rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter for their third straight victory and seventh in nine games. Tennessee (7-6) had a chance to run out the clock in a game the Titans desperately needed to stay close to Cleveland and Jacksonville for the AFC’s two wild card berths. But they gave the ball back to San Diego (8-5) with 2:24 left in regulation and went three-and-out in overtime.

Broncos 41, Chiefs 7

DENVER — The Broncos manhandled the Chiefs, finally playing like the contender they fancied themselves after an off-season spending spree. Jay Cutler threw a career-best four touchdown passes, Selvin Young rushed for a career-high 156 yards on 17 carries and Elvis Dumervil had three sacks and forced a fumble that led to a touchdown. Cutler completed 20 of 27 passes for 244 yards, no interceptions and a passer rating of 141.0.

NFC

Cowboys 28, Lions 27

DETROIT — Jason Witten caught a 16-yard, go-ahead touchdown pass with 18 seconds left. With the win, Dallas (12-1) clinched the NFC East and moved a step closer to earning home-field advantage in the conference playoffs. The tight end had career highs with 15 receptions and 138 yards, and was able to enjoy his accomplishments because he redeemed himself after fumbling inside the 1 midway through the fourth quarter. Seahawks 42, Cardinals 21

SEATTLE — Matt Hasselbeck threw four touchdown passes, the most of his season, and the Seahawks clinched their fourth consecutive NFC West title. Seattle (9-4) stormed to a 24-0 lead midway through the second quarter and cruised to its fifth consecutive victory, its longest streak since a team-record 11-game run two seasons ago that helped the Seahawks reach their only Super Bowl. Giants 16, Eagles 13

PHILADELPHIA — Eli Manning threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress, Lawrence Tynes made three short field goals and the Giants moved closer to a wild card playoff spot. David Akers hit the right upright on a 57-yard field goal attempt in the final seconds after Donovan McNabb drove the Eagles 50 yards in the final minute. The Giants (9-4) are almost locked into the No. 5 seed in the NFC.

INTERCONFERENCE

Packers 38, Raiders 7

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Packers didn’t need Brett Favre to throw the ball all over the field to clinch the NFC North, relying on the running of Ryan Grant and a pair of special teams touchdowns from Will Blackmon. The Packers (11-2) assured an end to their two-year absence from the postseason with three games left to play.

Texans 28, Buccaneers 14

HOUSTON — Sage Rosenfels threw for three touchdowns to lead the Texans (6-7) and has won both games he’s started in place of the injured Matt Schaub. Rosenfels lost two fumbles, but Tampa Bay (8-5) was only able to convert one into points. The Buccaneers started Luke McCown as Jeff Garcia missed his second straight game with a bruised back.

Jaguars 37, Panthers 6

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Fred Taylor ran for 132 yards and a touchdown and Jacksonville (9-4) harassed Vinny Testaverde, stuffed DeShaun Foster and locked down Steve Smith — the defense’s most complete game since consecutive wins at Denver and Kansas City early in the season. The defense ended up sharing the spotlight with Taylor, whose 80-yard TD run with 9:48 to play was the longest run from scrimmage in the NFL this season.
