Green Bay packs away title in NFC North

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers clinched their first NFC North title in five years by forcing five turnovers and getting an outstanding performance by rookie running back Tony Fisher to beat Chicago 30-20 Sunday.

Fisher, an undrafted free agent from Notre Dame, replaced Ahman Green, who hurt his left knee in the third quarter. Fisher had 91 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.

On a cold, windy day at Lambeau Field, Brett Favre threw two second-half touchdown passes and improved to 33-0 at home when the temperature is 34 or below.

Falcons 30, Vikings 24, OT

MINNEAPOLIS -- Michael Vick ran for 173 yards -- the most by a quarterback sine the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 -- and scored the winning touchdown in overtime from 46 yards out as the Falcons stayed unbeaten in their last eight games.

The previous high by a QB was 127 yards, set by the Chicago's Bobby Douglass against Oakland on Dec. 17, 1972.

Chargers 30, Broncos 27, OT

SAN DIEGO -- LaDainian Tomlinson ran for a franchise-record 220 yards and three touchdowns, and Steve Christie's 27-yard field goal with 3:01 left in overtime helped the Chargers deliver a second straight last-second loss to the Broncos.

Bills 38, Dolphins 21

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Drew Bledsoe overcame the elements with three TD passes and a scoring run, and the Bills overcame Ricky Williams' career-high 228 yards rushing.

Braving snow, a cold wind and a slick field, Bledsoe finished 15-for-27 for 306 yards.

49ers 31, Seahawks 24

SAN FRANCISCO -- Garrison Hearst ran for 124 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, and Jimmy Williams returned a punt 89 yards for a score as San Francisco snapped its first two-game losing streak in two years.

Steelers 25, Jaguars 23

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Kordell Stewart made a bid to get his job back for good, Jeff Reed made all six of his field-goal attempts and the Steelers' defense closed the door on the Jaguars.

Reed, a rookie signed two weeks ago to replace the injured Todd Peterson, kicked a 50-yarder to give Pittsburgh (7-4-1) a 25-17 lead with 4:30 left.

Chiefs 49, Cardinals 0

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Despite a defense ranked last in the league, the Kansas City Chiefs handed the injury-weakened Cardinals their worst loss in memory.

The team's previous worst loss was on Oct. 12, 1941, when the Chicago Cardinals lost to the Chicago Bears 53-7.

Titans 32, Giants 29, OT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- After sitting out all week because of rib, shin and toe injuries, Steve McNair threw three touchdown passes, ran for a game-tying 2-point conversion and set up Joe Nedney's 38-yard field goal in overtime.

McNair, who didn't know until game time whether he was going to play, was 30-of-43 for 334 yards.

Panthers 13, Browns 6

CLEVELAND -- After nearly three months of self destruction, the Panthers finally damaged somebody else's season.

Dee Brown rushed for 122 yards in his first career NFL start as Carolina (4-8) ended an eight-game losing streak with a 13-6 win over Cleveland (6-6), crippling the sloppy Browns' playoff chances.

Ravens 27, Bengals 23

CINCINNATI -- Baltimore rookies Chad Williams and Ron Johnson scored touchdowns on returns, and a defense missing Ray Lewis held on to avoid an upset.

A 22-yard pass from Jeff Blake to tight end Todd Heap gave the Ravens (6-6) the go-ahead score over the Bengals (1-11) with 5:12 left.

Colts 19, Texans 3

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts (8-4) converted two first-quarter fumbles into 10 points, got two field goals from Mike Vanderjagt and used a late touchdown run from James Mungro to seal their win over the hapless Texans (3-9).

Saints 23, Buccaneers 20

NEW ORLEANS -- Despite a record-setting sacks performance by Tampa's Simeon Rice, the Saints ended the Bucs' four-game winning streak.

It was the second win over Tampa Bay (9-3) by New Orleans (8-4), which beat the Bucs in overtime on the opening day of the season. Rice, the NFL's sacks leader with 14.5, took only five minutes to get two sacks and set a record for consecutive games with multiple sacks with five.
