lions 34, bears 17

Jared Goff threw for 336 yards and three touchdowns, and Detroit remained on top of the NFC with their franchise-record 13th win, over Chicago on Sunday.

Jameson Williams had a career-high 143 yards receiving on five catches, including an 82-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 109 yards and a score, and Detroit broke a tie with the 1991 and 2023 teams for the most wins in franchise history.

Caleb Williams threw for 334 yards and two touchdowns following a string of shaky performances for the Bears, who lost their ninth in a row and drew more boos from their frustrated fans.

dolphins 29, 49ers 17

Tua Tagovailoa threw for 215 yards and a touchdown, Jason Sanders nailed five field goals, and Miami kept their playoff chances alive by beating San Francisco.

The 49ers were eliminated from the playoffs before the game because of wins by the Rams and Commanders earlier Sunday. The loss ensured that last year’s NFC champions will have a losing season for the first time since 2020.

The Dolphins helped their chances of making the playoffs for a third straight season, but will need to win their final two games and get help from losses by the Broncos, Chargers and Colts for that to happen.

bengals 24, browns 6

Joe Burrow threw three touchdown passes, including one as he was falling to the turf, and Cincinnati kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a victory over Cleveland.

Burrow passed for three or more TDs for the seventh consecutive game. Ja’Marr Chase reached 1,510 yards this season and broke his own franchise record of 1,455 yards in 2021.

Myles Garrett, who said the Browns franchise should be focused on winning and not rebuilding, recorded the 100th sack of his career in the second quarter.

rams 19, jets 9

Matthew Stafford threw a go-ahead 11-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Higbee early in the fourth quarter after a turnover by Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Los Angeles beat New York for their fourth consecutive victory.

The Rams, who have won five of six, maintained their spot atop the NFC West with the victory after a slow start against the Jets on a day when it was a frosty 23 degrees at kickoff.

falcons 34, giants 7

Michael Penix Jr. won his debut as Atlanta’s starting quarterback, thanks largely to a defense that returned a pair of interceptions for touchdowns off Giants quarterback Drew Lock, and the Falcons bolstered their playoff hopes by handing New York their franchise-record 10th straight loss.

Jessie Bates and Matthew Judon each had a pick-6 to carry Atlanta to its second straight win after a four-game losing streak put its postseason hopes in jeopardy.

colts 38, titans 30

Jonathan Taylor rushed for 218 yards and scored three times including runs of 65 and 70 yards, leading Indianapolis past Tennessee.

Indy rushed for a franchise-record 335 yards as Taylor posted the second-highest single-game rushing total in the league this season and of his five-year career.

raiders 19, jaguars 14

Aidan O’Connell returned from an injury to pass for 257 yards, and Las Vegas ended a 10-game losing streak with a victory over Jacksonville.

The Raiders, whose skid was the longest active streak in the NFL, won for the first time since beating the Browns on Sept. 29.
