AFC South champion Colts still perfect.
UNDATED - Peyton Manning pulled off another patented fourth-quarter rally as the Indianapolis Colts erased an early 17-0 deficit to stay one of the NFL's two unbeaten teams after 12 weeks of the season. Manning tossed three TDs and the Colts rallied for a 35-27 win over Houston for their 20th straight regular-season victory. The win, coupled with Jacksonville's loss, clinched the AFC South title for the Colts.
Indianapolis is 11-and-0, one win shy of the New England Patriots' NFL-record 21-game run from 2006-08. The Colts can tie the record if they beat Tennessee at home next weekend.
- The Baltimore Ravens took advantage of Pittsburgh third-string quarterback Dennis Dixon's interception in overtime to set up Billy Cunidff's 29-yard field goal to beat the Steelers 20-17. Both teams are 6-and-5 in a battle for the AFC wild card. Baltimore defensive end Paul Kruger made the key interception in OT.
- AFC West-leading San Diego won its sixth straight game, 43-14 over Kansas City. The Chargers converted four KC turnovers into four touchdowns, including a 40-yard fumble return by safety Paul Oliver. LaDainian Tomlinson scored two TDs and moved into 10th place on the career rushing list with 12,257 yards.
- The Tennessee Titans are the first team in NFL history to win five straight games after starting 0-and-6. Vince young hit a leaping Kenny Britt over a 10-yard touchdowns as time expired in the Titans' 20-17 win over Arizona.
- Alex Smith threw short touchdown passes to Frank Gore and San Francisco posted a 20-3 victory over Jacksonville, ending the Jaguars' three-game win streak.
- The Cincinnati Bengals finished a perfect 6-and-0 within the AFC North Division with a conservative-but-effective 16-7 win over hapless Cleveland. Newly acquired Larry Johnson, who was just cut by Kansas City, led the ground assault with 107 of the Bengals' 210 rushing yards as Cincy improved to 8-and-3 overall.
- The Atlanta Falcons squeaked by 1-and-10 Tampa Bay 20-17 on Chris Redman's 7-yard TD pass to Roddy White with 23 seconds left. But it was a costly win after the 6-and-5 FAlcons lost offensive stars Matt Ryan and Michael Turner to injuries.
- In another squeaker, the Philadelphia Eagles improved to 7-and-4 by edging the Washington Redskins on David Akers' fourth field goal, a 32-yarder with 1:18 left.
- The New York Jets picked off four Jake Delhomme passes and beat Carolina 17-6 for their first home victory since Week 3.
- Rian Lindell's career-long 56-yard field goal with 3:35 left propelled the Bills to a 31-14 win over the Miami Dolphins for interim coach Perry Fewell's first victory since replacing fired Dick Jauron two games ago.
