Cardinals 37, Titans 34 (OT)

Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and Arizona edged Tennessee in Nashville, Tenn., after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. Still, the Cardinals (9-5) won for the sixth time in seven games to remain a game back of San Francisco and Carolina for an NFC wild-card berth. The Titans (5-9) scored 17 points in the final 3:12 of regulation to force overtime with Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing two of his four TD passes to Michael Preston. They also recovered an onside kick to set up the tying TD with 10 seconds left in regulation. Tennessee won the toss and drove to the Cardinals 43 before Antoine Cason intercepted his second pass of the game.

Rams 27, Saints 16

Drew Brees threw interceptions that led to touchdowns on New Orleans’ first two possessions and St. Louis used big performances from Zac Stacy, Robert Quinn and the special teams to beat the visiting Saints. Stacy shook off an early injury scare and set a franchise rookie record with 106 yards by halftime, finishing with 132 yards on 27 carries. Quinn had two sacks, giving him an NFC-leading 15. The Rams (6-8) also recovered an onside kick to set up a field goal in the first quarter, and Michael Brockers blocked a field-goal attempt at the end of the half. The Saints (10-4) missed their first chance to clinch a playoff berth, trailing 24-3 at the half, but made it look respectable with two TDs in the fourth quarter.

49ers 33, Buccaneers 14

Vernon Davis caught a touchdown pass for the fifth straight game and Michael Crabtree scored his first TD since returning from injury to help San Francisco earn a win at Tampa, Fla. The 49ers (10-4) pulled away for good with a 10-minute, fourth-quarter drive that produced a field goal. Kendall Hunter put it well out of reach, scooping up a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and diving 2 yards into the end zone for a TD. Tampa Bay got within 20-14 on Mike Glennon’s TD pass to Tim Wright on the first play of the fourth quarter. The Bucs (4-10) didn’t get the ball back until after Colin Kaepernick used 17 plays to march the 49ers 77 yards into position for Phil Dawson to kick one of his four field goals.

Dolphins 24, Patriots 20

Tom Brady’s latest comeback bid came up short, and the Miami Dolphins helped their playoff chances with a breakthrough victory over AFC East-leading New England in Miami Gardens, Fla. A fourth-down pass from Brady was intercepted by reserve safety Michael Thomas, making his NFL debut, in the end zone with 2 seconds left, and the Dolphins held on to win. Brady moved the Patriots (10-4) from their own 20 with 1:15 remaining to the Miami 14. But he threw three consecutive incompletions before Thomas sealed the third consecutive win for the Dolphins (8-6).

Bears 38, Browns 31

Jay Cutler shook off some early rustiness and threw three touchdown passes in his first start since Nov. 10, leading Chicago past host Cleveland (4-10). Cutler, who missed Chicago’s previous four games with a sprained left ankle, threw a 4-yard TD pass to Earl Bennett with 5:41 left as Bears (8-6) rallied in the second half and stayed in contention for an NFC playoff spot. Cutler finished 22 of 31 for 265 yards and validated coach Marc Trestman’s decision to stick with him over backup Josh McCown, who had played well while filling in for Chicago’s starter.
