RAVENS20, BROWNS10


Joe Flacco threw two touchdown


passes, Lewis and the rest of Balti- more’s tenacious defense bottled up Cleveland RB Peyton Hillis, and the Ravens clinched their third straight playoff appearance. Ed Reed intercepted Cleveland


rookie QB Colt McCoy twice as the Ravens (11-4) stayed in contention for the AFC North title. They remain tied with Pittsburgh for the division lead with one game left. Next week, Balti- more hosts Cincinnati while the Steel- ers visit Cleveland. Baltimore LB Ray Lewis promised


Hillis would not repeat his 144-yard performance against Baltimore in Week 3, and the big, bruising back didn’t come close, rushing for 35 yards on 12 carries. McCoythrewthree interceptions and


the Browns (5-10) did nothing to help embattled Coach Eric Mangini, who fell to 10-21 in two seasons and awaits a postseason review by team presi- dent Mike Holmgren. Flacco threw a 15-yard scoring pass


to T.J. Houshmandzadeh in the sec- ond quarter and a 22-yarder to Der- rick Mason in third as the Ravens built a 20-10 lead and turned things over to their stingy defense. Billy Cundiff kicked field goals of 27


and 40 yards as Baltimore won its sixth straight over Cleveland. Time could be running out for


Mangini, whose questionable clock management at the end of the first half had Browns fans befuddled. Phil Dawson’s 30-yard field goal with


three seconds left before half brought Cleveland within 13-10, but the Browns wasted a ton of time between plays on the drive.

PATRIOTS34, BILLS3


New England has been nearly un- beatable since Tom Brady stopped throwing interceptions more than two months ago. Nowthey’ll probablybeeventougher


to stop when the playoffs begin after securing the AFC’s top seed — and home-field advantage through the conference playoffs—with a win over a familiar pushover, Buffalo. Brady threw three touchdown pass-


es, including two to TE Rob Gronkows- ki, and extended his streak of at- tempts withoutaninterception to 319. That topped the NFL mark of 308 set by Bernie Kosar with Cleveland in the 1990-91 seasons. “I guess I’m glad I’m not throwing interceptions,” Brady said, shrugging off the record. He was more pleased with helping


the Patriots finish first in the AFC for the third time since 2003, and clinch their eighth division title in 10 years. “It never gets old,” Brady said. “We


never get tired of winning.” Brady finished15of27for140yards, and had his eighth straight game with two or more touchdown passes. Alge Crumpler had a four-yard touchdown catch, Danny Woodhead scored on a 29-yard run and Shayne Graham kicked two field goals. The Patriots round out their season


by hosting the Miami Dolphins next weekend and are marching to the playoffs riding a seven-game winning streak—their longest since going 16-0 in 2007. Brady’s leading an offense that has


scored 31 or more points in seven straight games.

TUESDAY’SGAME Minn. at Philadelphia, 8 (Phila. by 14)


DREW HALLOWELL/GETTY IMAGES


Stadium maintenance staffers work to clear the snow at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia during Sunday’s heavy snowstorm. The bad weather forced theNFLto postpone Sunday night’s Eagles-Vikings game until Tuesday. It will be the first Tuesday night game in 64 years.


Snow puts Eagles-Vikings on hold


Blizzard-like conditions postpones game until Tuesday


BY ROBMAADDI Are you ready for some Tues-


day Night Football? The NFL moved Minnesota’s


game at Philadelphia from Sun- day night to Tuesday because of an expected blizzard that could dumpmorethanafoot ofsnowon the City of Brotherly Love. The game — the first on a


Tuesday since 1946 — will be played at 8 p.m. and televised nationally by NBC. Philadelphia Mayor Michael


Nutter declared a snow emergen- cy as of 2 p.m. Sunday. “We are urging all Philadel- phians, please be careful, please


RAMS25, 49ERS17


While Mike Singletary and Troy


Smith squabbled on the sideline, rookie Sam Bradford stayed veteran calm. The No. 1 overall draft pick helped


keep St. Louis’s playoff drive motoring along, also breaking Peyton Man- ning’s NFL rookie record for comple- tions in a victory over San Francisco. Eclipsing Manning’s 12-year-old re-


cord was nice. Helping the Rams (7-8) stay on track to end a five-year playoff drought in a winner-take-all game for the NFC West title next week against Seattle is a much bigger deal. “I guess it’s pretty cool,” Bradford


said of the record. “I’m all fired up about the win. If you don’t get excited for a game like this, you’re probably in the wrong business.” The Rams’ defense kept both of the Smiths on the run, sacking Troy Smith andAlex Smith two times each. Single- tary gave Troy Smith one more series after a heated exchange late in the third quarter, then benched him after the 49ers (5-10) went three-and-out on their first possession of the fourth quarter. The 49ers were eliminated from


playoff consideration, and haven’t made it to the playoffs since 2002. “Troy’s a passionate guy and theway


he responded, that’s fine,” Singletary said. “He’s frustrated, I’m frustrated. We’re both trying to get something to happen on the field. That’s all it was.” The Rams finished 5-3 at home, the franchise’s first winning record since 2004. They were 2-22 combined the previous three seasons.

be safe,” the mayor told reporters in a news conference at CityHall. The decision to postpone the


game came shortly after noon — before there was any snow accu- mulation in Philadelphia. In announcing the postpone-


ment, NFL spokesman Greg Aiel- lo said: “Due to public safety concerns in light of today’s snow emergency in Philadelphia, to- night’s Vikings-Eagles game has been postponed. Because of the uncertainty of the extent of to- night’s storm and its aftermath, the game will be played on Tues- day night at 8 p.m. This will allow sufficient time to ensure that roads, parking lots and the stadi- umare fully cleared.” The postponement did not sit


well with Gov. Ed Rendell, who told KYW-TV he did “not at all” agree with the decision. “This is football; football is played in bad weather,” Rendell


LIONS34, DOLPHINS27


Detroit waited until the final five


minutes to make the most of Miami’s home-field haplessness. The Lions took advantage of two interceptions to score 17 points in the final 4 minutes 37 seconds. With the comeback, Detroit (5-10)


has won three consecutive games for the first time since 2007. Miami (7-8), eliminated from the playoff race last week, finished 1-7 at home to match a franchise low. The Miami meltdown did nothing to


help Coach Tony Sparano’s wobbly job status. Chad Henne passed for 278 yards, and the Dolphins scored three touchdowns at home for the first time this season, but they self-destructed down the stretch. The score was 24-14 with five


minutes to go when the Lions forced a punt, and on the first play Jahvid Best turned a short pass from Shaun Hill into a 53-yard touchdown. Three plays later, Henne overthrew a


receiver andNathan Vasher made the interception, setting up a 47-yard field goal by Dave Rayner to tie the score with 2:44 remaining. Two Miami plays netted two yards


before Henne threw another intercep- tion. Intended receiver Davone Bess fell as the ball arrived, and linebacker DeAndre Levy grabbed it, then zig- zagged 30 yards to the end zone for Detroit’s third score in less than 2½ minutes. The Dolphins drove 74 yards to the Detroit 28, but following a short com- pletion the clock ran out.

said. “I think the fans would have gotten there, the subways work and the major arteries are still open, and other fans would have stayed home—but you play foot- ball regardless of the weather.” Eagles Coach Andy Reid


agreed with the league’s decision. “We’re okay with it,” he said.


“We’re organized and prepared for this, and we completely sup- port what the league did from a safety standpoint for everybody. We got the guys out of the hotel and home, and they’ll come back for a walk-through tomorrow and then to the hotel, and it will be just like a Saturday night before a Sunday game.” The Vikings’ game against the

BRONCOS24, TEXANS23


Tim Tebow scored on a six-yard scramble with three minutes left in his first home start, capping a Broncos comeback from a 17-point halftime deficit. Matt Schaub was driving the Texans


for a go-ahead score when Denver rookie cornerback Syd’Quan Thomp- son intercepted a pass deflected by Justin Bannan at the Broncos 27 with just over one minute remaining. The pass was intended for a wide-open Owen Daniels, who had already caught eight passes for 73yardsanda touchdown. The Texans were probably already in


field goal range — Neil Rackers had converted a 54-yard field goal that tied his career long, then later in the third quarter nailed a 57-yarder that tied the franchise mark. The Broncos (4-11) avoided a fran-


chise record 12th loss in handing the Texans (5-10) their eighth loss in nine games. Tebow threw for 308 yards but when


it mattered most, he used his legs to give the Broncos their first win since Nov. 14. On second-and-goal from the 6


following a false start by right guard Chris Kuper and a bad overthrow of Eddie Royal on a fade into the left corner, Tebow faked the quarterback draw, raised up to throw it but found everyone covered. He tucked the ball and sprinted


toward the left pylon, beating defen- sive tackle Earl Mitchell into the end zone to give Denver its first lead at 24-23 with 3:02 remaining.

December weather caused mi-


nor issues around the league. After a 34-3 win in Buffalo, the Patriots couldn’t fly home and instead bussed East to spend the night in Rochester. The Jets were also forced to


stay an extra night in Chicago after a snowstorm delayed their return toNewYork. Baltimore safety Ed Reed, try-


ing to cope on a biting, blustery day in Cleveland, moved too close to a sideline heater and had his oversized jacket ignite, though no one was hurt. In Cincinnati, the warm-


weather Chargers failed to thaw out, and the Bengals improved to 4-11 with a 34-20 upset of San Diego in the bitter cold, thus eliminating the Chargers from the playoffs.

CHIEFS34, TITANS14


Kansas City was in no mood to


celebrate the greatest one-year turn- around in franchise history. It didn’t even want to talk about it. “It just meanswewere just that bad


last year,” G Brian Waters said. “Our goal is to get to the next part of the season.” The Chiefs (10-5) took a giant step


toward their first AFC West title in seven years and first playoff berth in four by racing past Tennessee. Although everyone around Arrow-


headStadiumwas trying toavoid even saying the word “playoffs” all week, there was obvious pride in winning 10 games after winning only four in 2009 and totaling a paltry 10 victories in the three previous seasons combined. In the Chiefs’ first50years, five wins


was the biggest one-year improve- ment. “It’s a huge accomplishment,” said


QB Matt Cassel, who threw three touchdown passes in the first half. “It’s a huge turnaround for us, being


4-12 and going through the year we did last year. I know there’s a ton of adversity and all those things were very difficult to handle at times. But to be here with 10 wins on our season and one win away from a division championship — I mean, it’s remark- able to say the least.” Cassel connected with Jamaal Charles for touchdowns on Kansas City’s first two possessions and Eric Berry returned an interception 54 yards for another score as the Chiefs raced to a 31-7 halftime lead.
