NFL ROUNDUP \ Sunday’s other games

AFC

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. They went out and survived a sloppy game in which Vince Young was sacked three times and made two turnovers. LenDale White finished with 103 yards for his first 1,000-yard rushing season in his second year.

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. 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.

NFC

Eagles 38, Saints 23

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

Bears 35, Packers 7

CHICAGO — 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 rivals. 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. He was 17-for-32 and threw two interceptions. The Bears (6-9) blocked two punts by Jon Ryan, who also dropped a snap and booted a 9-yarder.

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. The Falcons (3-12), who rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to take the lead, lost their sixth in a row. Kurt Warner completed 36 of 53 passes for 361 yards and three touchdowns, two to Anquan Boldin, who caught 13 for 162 yards. Boldin became the fastest to reach 400 career catches in NFL history. Chris Redman, starting for the third straight week, engineered Atlanta’s comeback, going 28-for-42 for a career-high 315 yards and two scores with one extremely costly interception.

INTERCONFERENCE

Giants 38, Bills 21

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Giants 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. The Giants (10-5), who reached the playoffs for a third straight season, fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter, as the Bills came out fired up after Everett addressed the team before the game. It was the tight end’s first appearance in Buffalo since he sustained a serious spinal cord injury in the Bills’ season opener Sept. 9. Everett, who is now walking on his own, watched the game from a suite near midfield.

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. Alexander turned a season of being booed at home into holiday cheers by gaining 73 yards on 13 carries. 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.

Lions 25, Chiefs 20

DETROIT — 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 dived to the ground at the Lions 30 after getting a lateral with no time left.
