Steelers 13, Browns 9
Isaac Redman replaced injured Rashard Mendenhall and ran for a touchdown as Pittsburgh limped into the AFC playoffs with a win over host Cleveland, the Steelers’ 16th victory in 17 games against the Browns. Redman scored on a 7-yard run in the third quarter for the Steelers (12-4), who finished tied with Baltimore for first in the AFC North but lost the tiebreaker because the Ravens beat them twice. The Steelers had to survive two fumbles by Redman in the second half and a pass into the end zone by the Browns (4-12) on the final play that was batted down.

Packers 45, Lions 41
Backup quarterback Matt Flynn threw a touchdown pass to Jermichael Finley with 1:10 left, giving Green Bay a victory over Detroit in a wild regular-season finale in cold and windy conditions in Green Bay, Wis. With Aaron Rodgers resting for the playoffs, Flynn set Packers franchise records with 480 yards passing and six touchdowns. It was an ideal afternoon for the Packers (15-1) who got to rest Rodgers and several other big-name players without losing playoff momentum. Not to be outdone by Flynn, Matthew Stafford threw for 520 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions for the Lions (10-6). Detroit has lost 21 straight road games to the Packers, including the postseason.

Titans 23, Texans 22
Matt Hasselbeck threw two touchdown passes and Tennessee temporarily kept alive its playoff hopes with a victory over host Houston. The Titans (9-7) earned their first winning record since 2008 in Mike Munchak’s first season, but they were eliminated from the playoffs when the Chargers beat the Raiders and the Broncos fell to the Chiefs. The Titans lost the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Bengals and would have needed a three-way tie for the wild card spot to advance. Houston (10-6) will head into its first postseason on a three-game losing streak. The Texans were locked into the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs and coach Gary Kubiak played mostly reserves in the second half.

Bears 17, Vikings 13
Charles Tillman’s interception return in the second quarter gave Chicago the lead for good, and the Bears stopped their five-game losing streak with a victory over Minnesota in Minneapolis. Joe Webb relieved Christian Ponder at quarterback for the Vikings (3-13) for the third time in the last month, but the wild-scrambling Webb wasn’t able to keep the Vikings from their worst record in franchise history, matching the 1984 team. The Vikings had the ball with no timeouts at their 6-yard line and 1:51 left, but D.J. Moore’s interception at the Chicago 29 sealed it for the Bears (8-8).

Saints 45, Panthers 17
Drew Brees passed for 389 yards and five touchdowns, and the New Orleans Saints set a slew of NFL and club records in a blowout of visiting Carolina. The NFL single-season records set by the Saints (13-3), who head into the playoffs on an eight-game winning streak, included offensive yards with 7,474, team yards passing with 5,347 and first downs with 416. Brees, who was 28 of 35, finished with a record 468 completions this season, breaking Peyton Manning’s 2010 mark of 450. He finished the season completing 71.6 percent of his passes, breaking his own 2009 NFL record 70.6 completion percentage.

Tom Brady led New England (13-3) back from a three-touchdown deficit as it scored 49 straight points and clinched home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs with a win over Buffalo (6-10) in Foxborough, Mass. Brady finished the regular season with the second most yards passing in NFL history (5,235) after throwing for 338. Drew Brees, who last week broke Dan Marino’s record of 5,084 with the Miami Dolphins in 1984, ended with 5,486. New England’s Rob Gronkowski set the single-season record for tight ends with 1,327 yards receiving after gaining 108 on eight catches. That broke the mark of 1,310 set earlier Sunday by Jimmy Graham of the Saints.

Michael Crabtree caught two touchdown passes, one from kicker David Akers on a perfectly executed trick play, helping San Francisco withstand a late rally by host St. Louis and wrap up the No. 2 playoff seed in the NFC and a first-round bye with the victory. Crabtree and Vernon Davis had big days for a team short of pass catchers and Tarell Brown had a pair of interceptions that led to touchdowns as the 49ers (13-3) beat the Rams (2-14) for the second time the last five games.

The Jets (8-8) came into the game needing a win along with losses by three other teams to reach the playoffs. The Dolphins (6-10) completed their third straight losing season.

The Jaguars (5-11) became the first AFC South opponent to sweep Indianapolis (2-14) since 2002 and gave outgoing owner Wayne Weaver a victory in his final game.

Eagles 34, Redskins 10
Michael Vick threw three touchdown passes, including a 62-yarder to DeSean Jackson, and host Philadelphia beat Washington for its fourth straight win. The Eagles (8-8) are hoping to carry the momentum from their strong finish into next season. But they can’t be satisfied after entering the year with Super Bowl aspirations. It’s the first time since 2007 that Philadelphia didn’t qualify for the postseason and just the fourth time in coach Andy Reid’s 13 seasons. The Eagles set a franchise record for total yards on offense with 6,386. The Redskins (5-11) finished in last place in the NFC East for a franchise-worst fourth straight year. It was Mike Shanahan’s worst full season in 18 years as a coach.

Falcons 45, Bucs 24
Julio Jones caught two touchdown passes in a span of 26 seconds, Michael Turner ran for two scores and Atlanta used a team-record 42 first-half points to cruise to a win over visiting Tampa Bay to clinch the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoffs. Atlanta (10-6), which beat Detroit on Oct. 23, won the tiebreaker with the Lions for the more favorable seeding. The Falcons will visit the New York Giants in the first round of the playoffs next weekend. Josh Freeman threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in the first half as the Buccaneers (4-12) closed their season with their 10th straight loss, leaving the status of coach Raheem Morris in doubt. Turnovers were a problem for the Buccaneers all season. Freeman began the day tied for the league lead with 19 interceptions before adding a total of three to the dismal count, the last with 1:39 remaining.
