Pittsburgh 31, Green Bay 28

Chris Boswell's 53-yard field goal with no time left gave the Pittsburgh Steelers a 31-28 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Brett Hundley, the third-year injury replacement for injured Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, gave Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers the full Rodgers treatment with touchdown passes of 39, 54 and 55 yards.

But the old veteran Roethlisberger found his go-to receiver, Antonio Brown, in the late going to set up Boswell's game-winning kick.

Pittsburgh (9-2) won its sixth consecutive game while Green Bay (5-6) lost its second in a row.

Carolina 35, New York Jets 27

The mistake-prone Browns (0-11) had a pair of drive-stalling penalties in the first half and a dropped touchdown pass by Corey Coleman in the end zone in the third quarter.

Atlanta 34, Tampa Bay 20

Atlanta All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones burned Tampa Bay again, extending his banner success against the Buccaneers in a 34-20 victory by the Falcons.

The victory over the NFC North cellar-dwelling Bears (3-8) was the ninth in a row for NFC East-leading Philadelphia, which improved to 6-0 at home this season.

Wentz upped his NFL-best touchdown total to 28 while going 23 of 36 for 227 yards.

New England 35, Miami 17

Tom Brady threw four touchdown passes, two to tight end Rob Gronkowski, and the Patriots cruised to their seventh straight victory, a 35-17 rout of the Miami Dolphins.

Running back Rex Burkhead also scored twice (one pass, one run) as the Patriots (9-2) sent Miami (4-7) to its fifth straight loss -- and its eighth straight at Gillette Stadium.

Brady had a string of 189 straight passes without an interception snapped, but went on to complete his 83rd game with at least three touchdown passes.

He has 26 touchdown passes this season, a record for quarterbacks in a season after turning 40.

Los Angeles Rams 26, New Orleans 20

Jared Goff passed for two touchdowns and Drew Brees was held to one as the Los Angeles Rams beat the New Orleans Saints, 26-20.

The Rams (7-4) won for the fifth time in six outings as the Saints (8-3) had their eight-game winning streak snapped.

Goff, who did not throw a touchdown pass in last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, clicked with veteran Sammy Watkins and rookie Josh Reynolds. Greg Zuerlein added four field goals, three from at least 46 yards, as the Rams prevailed.

New Orleans, which averaged 30.2 points during its winning streak, was stifled by the Rams' defense, which sacked Brees three times. The Saints, who were 3-for-13 on third downs, entered the game averaging 415 yards but were held to 346.

Baltimore Ravens 23, Houston Texans 16

The Ravens executed a fake punt that led to a Javorius "Buck" Allen touchdown, and Alex Collins ran for another score in Baltimore's 23-16 victory over the Houston Texans on Monday night.

Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs also came up with huge play, a strip-sack of Texans quarterback Tom Savage late in the fourth quarter. The fumble was recovered by Baltimore defensive tackle Willie Henry.

The Ravens (6-5) have consecutive wins for the first time since the opening two weeks of the season, and they retook the sixth and final AFC playoff spot.

Baltimore overcame a huge performance by Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who caught seven passes for 125 yards.

Baltimore is 12-1 in night games at home since coach John Harbaugh took over the team in 2008. The Ravens have also won 10 consecutive prime-time matchups at M&T Bank Stadium, the longest streak in the NFL.

Houston (4-7) pulled to within 20-16 on a 37-yard field goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn with 8:36 remaining in the game. The Texans were driving again on their next possession, but Suggs' strip-sack led to a 49-yard field goal by Justin Tucker that gave Baltimore the 23-16 margin.

Dallas Cowboys 28, Dallas Cowboys 6

The Los Angeles defense gobbled up the Dallas Cowboys and Philip Rivers did the rest as the Chargers claimed a 28-6 victory at AT&T Stadium on Thursday.

Rivers passed for 434 yards and three second-half touchdowns, including a 27-yarder to Tyrell Williams that gave Los Angeles a 16-0 lead late in the third quarter.

Dallas broke a 10-quarter drought without a touchdown early in the fourth when running back Rod Smith powered two yards for a score. Smith's touchdown capped a nine-play, 81-yard march.

But Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw incomplete on the two-point conversion attempt and the Chargers maintained a 16-6 lead.

Dallas' offensive woes continued midway through the fourth quarter when Los Angeles cornerback Desmond King returned an interception 90 yards for a touchdown.

Washington 20, New York Giants 10

Kirk Cousins fired a 14-yard, go-ahead touchdown pass to Josh Doctson with 3:31 left in the game, and the Washington Redskins defeated the New York Giants 20-10 at FedEx Field.

After a defensive holding penalty wiped out a third-down sack, Washington was given new life on the decisive drive at the New York 48.

Cousins soon hit Jamison Crowder for 17 yards to the 16-yard line, and two plays later, he found Doctson in the corner of the end zone.

Crowder finished with seven catches for a season-high 141 yards and a touchdown, and Washington running back Samaje Perine carried 24 times for 100 yards.

Nick Rose added a 33-yard field goal with 1:49 remaining.

The win capped a banner Thanksgiving for the Redskins (5-6), as two of the teams ahead of them in the NFC wild-card race -- Detroit and Dallas -- lost.

Cousins was 19-of-31 for 242 yards with two touchdowns and a pick-six.
