Trailing 24-0, New England stormed all the way back, taking advantage of four second-half turnovers by the Broncos, to win in overtime.

The Patriots, with the largest comeback in the organization's history, recovered a fumbled punt to regain possession in eventually secure the win.

Dallas Cowboys 24, New York Giants 21

This one wasn't a Giants-sized gift. Tony Romo and the embattled Dallas Cowboys took this pivotal game and all but buried New York's slim hopes of making the playoffs. Romo threw two touchdown passes and led a 14-play drive that set up Dan Bailey's 35-yard field goal on the final play as the Cowboys won 24-21 Sunday, ending the Giants' four-game winning streak and denying them a place in NFL history.

Arizona Cardinals 40, Indianapolis Colts 11

Carson Palmer threw two touchdown passes to Larry Fitzgerald, Karlos Dansby returned an interception 22 yards for a score and the Cardinals won their fourth in a row. 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.

Carolina Panthers 20, Miami Dolphins 16

Cam Newton converted a fourth-and-10 situation at his own 20 with a completion to keep alive the Panthers' final possession, and they went on to score a touchdown with 43 seconds left. It was the second comeback win in a week for the Panthers, who rallied past the Patriots with a late drive last Monday.

Minnesota Vikings 26, Green Bay Packers 26 (tie, OT)

Recap | Stats | Video highlights

Backup quarterback Matt Flynn threw for 218 yards to help the Packers storm back from a 16-point deficit for a tie as the Vikings and Green Bay could only muster field goals in overtime. It was the first tie in the NFL since the Rams and 49ers ended 24-24 on Nov. 11, 2012.

Jacksonville Jaguars 13, Houston Texans 6

St. Louis Rams 42, Chicago Bears 21

Tavon Austin's 65-yard touchdown run—his fourth straight this season from beyond midfield—jump-started a 21-point first quarter and the Rams defense made big plays, too, in a victory over the Bears. The Rams followed up a 30-point rout at Indianapolis after their bye in front of their largest crowd of the season, about half of them clad Bears orange.

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 Buccaneers to hold on. Tampa Bay has won three straight after losing its first eight, joining the 1978 St. Louis Cardinals as the only team to do that.

Baltimore Ravens 19, New York Jets 3
