Summaries from the NFL

Steelers 13, Ravens 9
In Baltimore, Santonio Holmes caught a 4-yard TD pass from Ben Roethlisberger with 43 seconds left, and the Steelers clinched their second consecutive AFC North crown. ( Play reviewed and overturned.)

Colts 31, Lions 21
In Indianapolis, Despite a litany of missed tackles and two lost fumbles, Peyton Manning kept the Colts on track for a playoff run. And he kept the Lions (0-14) on track for a winless year. (Colts are on a 7-game win streak and playing well at the right time.)

Texans 13, Titans 12
In Houston, receiver Andre Johnson had a career-high 207 yards and a TD to lead the Texans to their fourth consecutive win. The Titans could have secured home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win and a Pittsburgh loss. (Titans are struggling down the stretch.)

Panthers 30, Broncos 10
In Charlotte, N.C., In clinching at least a tie for the NFC South title and moving closer to their first playoff berth in three years, the Panthers prevented the Broncos from clinching the AFC West. Steve Smith caught nine passes for 165 yards and a TD. (Panthers meet the G-Men Sunday night for the #1 seed in the NFC.)

Dolphins 14, 49ers 9
In Miami, the Dolphins had possession for less than 22 minutes, but held the opposition without a TD for the third game in a row and helped their playoff chances. (Dolphins are playing good football and look to sneak into the playoffs.)

Jets 31, Bills 27
In East Rutherford, N.J., one big hit and one favorable bounce kept New York in control of its playoff destiny. With Buffalo nursing a 27-24 lead, Abram Elam sacked the Bills' J.P. Losman and Shaun Ellis picked up the fumble and rumbled 11 yards into the end zone with 1:54 left for the go-ahead score. (If the Jets can continue to win, they will be in the playoffs.)

Patriots 49, Raiders 26
In Oakland, Calif., Randy Moss caught two of Matt Cassel's career-high four TD passes. Cassel's sterling performance, just six days after the death of his father, kept the Patriots in a three-way tie for first place in the AFC East. (Patriots are in the same "boat" as the Dolphins.)

Falcons 13, Buccaneers 10, OT
In Atlanta, the Falcons' Michael Turner ran for 152 yards, John Abraham had three sacks, and Jason Elam kicked a 34-yard FG in OT. Tampa Bay blocked a punt with less than three minutes left in regulation which set up Matt Bryant's tying FG with 48 seconds left. (Falcons and Bucs now both 9-5.)

Seahawks 23, Rams 20
In St. Louis, Olindo Mare's 27-yard FG as time expired lifted the Seahawks, who broke a six-game slide. Seattle tied the game on T.J. Duckett's 1-yard run with 2:47 to go. (Both teams are playing for pride.)

Chargers 22, Chiefs 21
In Kansas City, Mo., Philip Rivers rallied San Diego from a 21-3 third-quarter deficit, throwing two TD passes in the final 73 seconds. The Chiefs tried a 50-yard field goal on the final play, but Connor Barth's kick was wide left. (Chargers can still get in the playoffs with winning out and a Broncos loss.)

Bengals 20, Redskins 13
In Cincinnati, the Redskins lost for the fifth time in six games, unable to keep up with one of the NFL's lowliest teams. Ryan Fitzpatrick ran for a touchdown and threw for another. (Neither team will make the playoffs.)

Jaguars 20, Packers 16
In Jacksonville, Fla., The Packers entered the fourth quarter with a 13-7 lead, poised to snap a three-game slide, but David Garrard directed two scoring drives that gave Jacksonville its second win in eight games. ( Two of the more disappointing teams in the NFL this season.)

Cowboys 20, Giants 8
In Irving, Texas, The Cowboys win solved a great deal of problems as they defeated the G-MEN in a tough NFC East battle. Romo played well as he tried to get the ball to his " Want the ball" receivers. The win puts the Cowboys in control of their playoff picture and the loss gives the Giants a lot to work on as they prepare Carolina and the playoffs. ( I like both these teams so I was in a win, win situation last night.)
