Sunday’s NFL summaries
Vikings 26, Packers 26
Backup quarterback Matt Flynn threw for 218 yards to help the Packers storm back from a 16-point deficit for a tie as visiting Minnesota and Green Bay could only muster field goals in overtime Sunday. Mason Crosby hit from 20 yards at 10:28 of the extra period and Blair Walsh connected from 35 with 3:54 left. Greg Jennings, playing his first game at Lambeau Field as a member of the Vikings, dropped a third-down pass with 2:11 left. The Packers also stumbled on their next possession. One last chance for the Vikings went nowhere with 1 second left, and the tie was the first in the NFL since the Rams and 49ers ended 24-24 on Nov. 11, 2012.

Jaguars 13, Texans 6
Maurice Jones-Drew ran for a season-high 84 yards and a touchdown and visiting Jacksonville extended Houston’s losing streak to a franchise-record nine games. The two-time AFC South champions haven’t won since Sept. 15. Case Keenum had the worst performance in his five starts for the Texans, throwing for just 169 yards with an interception. Houston was driving late when rookie Ryan Davis grabbed a one-handed interception off a deflection by Keshawn Martin to seal the win.

Chargers 41, Chiefs 38
Philip Rivers threw for 392 yards and three touchdowns, the final one a 26-yarder to Seyi Ajirotutu with 24 seconds remaining, to give visiting San Diego a victory over Kansas City, ending the Chargers’ three-game losing streak. The Chiefs had taken the lead when Alex Smith hit Dwayne Bowe in tight coverage for a go-ahead score with 1:22 left. But the Chargers still had two timeouts, and they used both of them to quickly move downfield. Ajirotutu’s TD was just his third catch of the season. It also represented the eighth and final lead change in the game. Smith threw for 292 yards and three TDs.

Rams 42, Bears 21
Tavon Austin’s 65-yard touchdown run – his fourth straight from beyond midfield – jump- started a 21-point first quarter and the St. Louis defense made some big plays, too, in a victory over visiting Chicago. Late scores by rookie backup running back Benny Cunningham and defensive end Robert Quinn helped finish off the Bears, who remained tied for the NFC North lead. Josh McCown passed for 352 yards and two TDs with an interception for Chicago.

Steelers 27, Browns 11
Ben Roethlisberger threw two touchdown passes and beat Cleveland again as visiting Pittsburgh moved back into the playoff picture with a victory. Roethlisberger connected on a 41-yard TD pass to Antonio Brown in the first half, and hit Emmanuel Sanders on a 4-yarder in the third quarter for the Steelers, who have turned their season around following a 0-4 start. Roethlisberger finished 22 of 34 for 217 yards and improved to 16-1 against the Browns, who have lost five of six and seen a promising year turn into yet another miserable one. Browns quarterback Jason Campbell suffered a head injury in the third quarter when he was sacked by cornerback William Gay.

Buccaneers 24, Lions 21
Matthew Stafford’s fourth interception went in and out of Calvin Johnson’s hands inside the Tampa Bay 5 in the final minute, allowing the visiting Buccaneers to hold on for a win over Detroit. Tampa Bay has won three straight after losing its first eight, joining the 1978 St. Louis Cardinals as the only team to do that. Tampa Bay rookie Mike Glennon was 14 of 21 for 247 yards and threw two touchdowns to Tiquan Underwood, whose second score was an 85-yard reception early in the fourth quarter. The Lions have lost two straight and can blame five turnovers for throwing away a chance to improve their playoff positioning.

Ravens 19, Jets 3
Joe Flacco threw a 66-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Jones, Justin Tucker kicked four field goals and Baltimore shut down the sputtering offense of visiting New York. The defending Super Bowl champion Ravens had lost four of five before bouncing back to beat the Jets and keep their playoff hopes alive. Jones had four catches for 103 yards. Rookie Geno Smith completed 9 of 22 passes for 127 yards and two interceptions, both by Corey Graham. Jets coach Rex Ryan, who helped run Baltimore’s defense from 1999-2008, fell to 0-3 against his former team.

Panthers 20, Dolphins 16
Cam Newton converted a fourth-and-10 situation at his own 20 with a completion to keep alive Carolina’s final possession, and the Panthers went on to score a touchdown with 43 seconds left and beat Miami in Miami Gardens, Fla. Newton hit Greg Olsen with a 1-yard pass for the winning score to cap a 12-play drive. The Panthers extended their winning streak to seven games, their longest since 2003. Miami fell to 2-2 since tackle Jonathan Martin left the team and the Dolphins’ bullying scandal began to mushroom.

Titans 23, Raiders 19
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Kendall Wright with 10 seconds remaining to put visiting Tennessee back in playoff contention with a victory over Oakland. Fitzpatrick also threw a 54-yard TD pass to Justin Hunter and Rob Bironas added three field goals to give Tennessee its second win in seven games. But despite the recent slump, the Titans find themselves in a six-way tie for the sixth and final playoff spot in the AFC with five weeks left in the regular season. The Raiders missed a chance to get into that group as the defense failed to hold onto a late lead and Sebastian Janikowski missed two field goals.

Cardinals 40, Colts 11
Carson Palmer threw two touchdown passes to Larry Fitzgerald, Karlos Dansby returned an interception 22 yards for a score and Arizona won its fourth in a row with a victory over Indianapolis in Glendale, Ariz. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians beat the team that propelled him to coaching prominence last season, when he took over as Colts interim coach while Chuck Pagano fought leukemia. Fitzgerald caught five passes for 52 yards, becoming the youngest player in NFL history to reach 11,000 yards receiving. Arizona’s Michael Floyd had his second straight 100-yard receiving day with seven catches for 104 yards for the Cardinals. Andrew Luck threw for 163 yards, but had only 84 through three quarters as the Colts fell behind 34-3.

Tony Romo threw two touchdowns and led a drive that set up Dan Bailey’s 35-yard field goal on the final play as Dallas beat New York in East Rutherford, N.J. Dallas ended the Giants’ four-game winning streak and most of their playoff hopes. The victory moved the Cowboys into a first-place tie with idle Philadelphia in the NFC East. Romo hit two crucial third-down passes on the 14-play drive that covered the final 4:45 after New York tied the game on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Louis Murphy Jr. and a 2-point conversion run by Andre Brown. Romo hit Jason Witten on TDs of 20 and 2 yards, and Dallas got a defensive touchdown on a 50-yard fumble return by Jeff Heath.
