Cardinals 17, Chiefs 14

Kerwynn Williams rushed for 100 yards two days after being elevated from the Arizona practice squad and the Cardinals rallied to beat Kansas City in Glendale, Arizona. The NFC West-leading Cardinals took the lead when Drew Stanton threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Jaron Brown in the third quarter. Jamaal Charles scored two first-half touchdowns on a 63-yard run and 18-yard pass from Alex Smith, but the Chiefs were shut out in the second half.

Raiders 24, 49ers 13

Derek Carr threw three touchdown passes and host Oakland put a major dent into San Francisco’s dwindling playoff hopes in the Battle of the Bay. Carr completed 22 of 28 passes for 254 yards and completely outplayed counterpart Colin Kaepernick. With a second straight loss, the 49ers are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in coach Jim Harbaugh’s four-year tenure.

Broncos 24, Bills 17

C.J. Anderson ran for three touchdowns and Denver overcame a rare unsteady outing by Peyton Manning to beat visiting Buffalo. Manning’s streak of 51 straight games with a touchdown throw – three shy of Drew Brees’ NFL record – ended on a sun-splashed, almost still afternoon in Denver, where the game-time temperature was a balmy 63 degrees. Manning finished 14 of 20 for 173 yards with two interceptions. His top receiver, Demaryius Thomas, was held to two catches for 11 yards.

Giants 36, Titans 7

Eli Manning threw for 260 yards and a touchdown, and New York snapped a seven-game skid by beating Tennessee in Nashville, Tennessee. The Titans lost their seventh straight and for the 11th time in 12 games with a performance that had fans booing and even a handful wearing paper bags over their heads. This is the franchise’s longest skid since losing 11 straight in 1994 as the then-Houston Oilers.

Panthers 41, Saints 10

Cam Newton passed for three touchdowns, appeared to incite a scuffle with frustrated Saints after he went over the pile for another score, and Carolina ended a six-game skid with a victory in New Orleans. Jonathan Stewart added a 69-yard touchdown. Newton’s jawing and “Superman” celebration of his 2-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter drew a shove from linebacker Curtis Lofton. That ignited a scrum that eventually went into a tunnel beyond the end zone. New Orleans lost its fourth straight home game.

Vikings 30, Jets 24 (OT)

Jarius Wright’s 87-yard touchdown reception from Teddy Bridgewater in overtime gave Minnesota a win over New York in Minneapolis. After forcing the Jets to punt to start the extra period, the Vikings faced third-and-5. Bridgewater was blitzed and threw high on a bubble screen to his right. Wright jumped, made an off-balance grab, slipped by Jaiquawn Jarrett and outran defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson the rest of the way. Gerald Hodges returned an interception of Geno Smith for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage.
