NFL SCORES — WEEK 15

Green Bay Packers 37, Dallas Cowboys 36

Recap  | Stats | Video highlights

Matt Flynn threw four touchdown passes in the second half, Eddie Lacy had the winning score on a 1-yard plunge and the Green Bay Packers matched the biggest comeback in franchise history, rallying from 23 points down at halftime to beat the Dallas Cowboys 37-36 Sunday. Tony Romo had two interceptions in the final 3 minutes, the first one giving Green Bay a chance for the go-ahead score with the Cowboys in position to run out the clock with a 36-31 lead. Lacy scored with just over 1 1-2 minutes left.

Kansas City Chiefs 56, Oakland Raiders 31

Recap | Stats | Video highlights

Jamaal Charles tied a franchise record with five touchdowns in a game, Alex Smith threw five TD passes and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Raiders 56-31 on Sunday to clinch at least a wild-card spot. The Chiefs (11-3) became the fourth team ever to make the playoffs a year after losing at least 14 games. Kansas City is tied for first place in the AFC West with Denver but needs help to win the division because the Broncos swept the season series.

Carolina Panthers 30, New York Jets 20

Recap  | Stats | Video highlights

The Carolina Panthers are right back in the hunt for the NFC South division title and a first-round bye in the playoffs. Cam Newton threw for 273 yards and a touchdown, Captain Munnerlyn had two sacks and returned an interception for a score and the Panthers bounced back from their most lopsided loss of the season with a 30-20 win Sunday over the New York Jets. With New Orleans losing 27-16 to St. Louis, the Panthers (10-4) have pulled even with the Saints with the rematch set for next Sunday in Charlotte. If Carolina wins its final two games, it will clinch the division and the first-round bye. The Panthers haven't been to the postseason since 2008.

Arizona Cardinals 37, Tennessee Titans 34

Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and the Arizona Cardinals edged the Tennessee Titans 37-34 in overtime after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. Still, the Cardinals (9-5) won their sixth in seven games. With San Francisco and Carolina winning, they remain a game back of both for a NFC wild-card berth. The Titans scored 17 points in the final 3:12 of regulation to force overtime.

St. Louis Rams 27, New Orleans Saints 16

Recap | Stats | Video highlights

Drew Brees threw interceptions that led to touchdowns on the first two possessions and the St. Louis Rams got big days from Zac Stacy, Robert Quinn and on special teams to top the New Orleans Saints 27-16 on Sunday. Quinn had two sacks, giving him an NFC-leading 15, and his quarterback hit on the Saints' first snap of the game altered the flight of the ball on T.J. McDonald's interception.

Miami Dolphins 24, New England Patriots 20

Tom Brady's latest comeback bid came up short, and the Dolphins helped their playoff chances with a breakthrough victory over the AFC East-leading Patriots. A fourth-down pass from Brady was intercepted by reserve safety Michael Thomas in the end zone with 2 seconds left, as Miami held on to win.

Seattle Seahawks 23, New York Giants 0

This is the best Seahawks road team in their history. Even better, they might not need to leave Seattle again—until another trip to the Meadowlands. For the Super Bowl. Seattle manhandled the Giants for its sixth road win, holding the hosts to 181 yards.

Chicago Bears 38, Cleveland Browns 31

Recap | Stats  | Video highlights

Jay Cutler shook off some early rustiness and threw three touchdown passes in his first start since Nov. 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 rallied to stay in contention for an NFC playoff spot.

Indianapolis Colts 25, Houston Texans 3

Buffalo Bills 27, Jacksonville Jaguars 20

Recap | Stats

EJ Manuel threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, leading the Bills to a victory against the banged-up Jaguars. Manuel bounced back from the worst game of his rookie season—a four-interception performance at Tampa Bay—and left the Sunshine State with his first win in five road starts.

Pittsburgh Steelers 30, Cincinnati Bengals 20

Recap | Stats | Video highlights

The Bengals' coronation as the new power in the AFC North is going to have to wait at least one more week.

San Diego Chargers 27, Denver Broncos 20

Recap  | Stats
