WEEK 12 RECAPS

BRONCOS 24, STEELERS 17

Denver nose tackle Shelby Harris picked off Ben Roethlisberger’s 2-yard pass to Antonio Brown in the end zone with 1:03 remaining to seal the win Sunday. The Broncos used four takeaways to counter a 97-yard touchdown toss from Roethlisberger to JuJu Smith-Schuster. Roethlisberger finished 41-of-56 for 462 passing yards, but he was intercepted twice and the Steelers lost two fumbles while losing for the first time since September. Phillip Lindsay rushed for 110 yards and the game-deciding touchdown on just 14 carries for Denver.

COLTS 27, DOLPHINS 24

Andrew Luck threw three touchdown passes, Adam Vinatieri kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired and Indianapolis beat Miami for its fifth consecutive victory. Indianapolis scored 13 points in the final 8 1/2 minutes to erase a 10-point deficit. It’s the longest winning streak for the Colts since 2014. Miami has lost 10 of its past 11 on the road, perhaps none more frustrating than this one. The Dolphins picked off Luck twice, recovered a fumble and partially blocked a punt on their way to a 24-14 lead. It still wasn’t enough to derail the resurgent Luck, who was 30-of37 for 343 yards. He also had the first catch of his NFL career, a 4-yard reception on fourth-and-1 late in the first half. Luck capped that drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Jack Doyle.

SEAHAWKS 30, PANTHERS 27

Russell Wilson threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns, and Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired to lift Seattle to a comeback victory over Carolina. After Graham Gano missed a 52-yard field goal that would have given the Panthers the lead with 1:40 left in the game, Wilson moved around in the pocket until finding Tyler Lockett downfield for a 43-yard completion, setting up the winning kick. The win puts Seattle firmly in the hunt for a wild-card spot in the NFC, while the Panthers are reeling after losing three straight games and having their 10-game home winning streak snapped.

BROWNS 35, BENGALS 20

Cleveland rookie Baker Mayfield threw a career-high four touchdown passes in another growing-up-fast performance, and the Browns ended one of the NFL’s longest streaks of road futility with a victory over Cincinnati, which lost quarterback Andy Dalton to a thumb injury. Cleveland got its first road win since 2015, emphatically snapping a streak of 25 straight away losses that was one shy of the Lions’ NFL record. The Browns also ended a run of seven straight losses to their intrastate rivals.

EAGLES 25, GIANTS 22

Jake Elliott kicked a 43-yard field goal with 22 seconds remaining, and Philadelphia rallied for a victory over New York. The reigning Super Bowl champions trailed 12-0 early and were down 19-14 in the fourth quarter before Carson Wentz made key throws and undrafted rookie Josh Adams delivered big runs. Adams scored on a 1-yard touchdown run and went up the middle for the 2-point conversion to put Philadelphia ahead 22-19. After the Giants tied it on Aldrick Rosas’ third field goal of the game, a 29-yarder, the Eagles controlled the ball for 5:27. Coach Doug Pederson went for it on fourth-and-1 at the Giants’ 42, and Wentz completed a 12-yard pass to Nelson Agholor just before the two-minute warning. Adams ran three times, and Elliott made the go-ahead kick. The Giants started at their 34 with 16 seconds left but couldn’t do much.

CHARGERS 45, CARDINALS 10

Philip Rivers tied the NFL record for consecutive completions and set marks for the most to start a game and the highest percentage in a game as Los Angeles rolled over Arizona. The 15th-year pro completed his first 25 passes and was 28-of-29 for 259 yards and three touchdowns in three quarters. It also was his 11th straight game with multiple touchdown passes. Rivers completed 25 straight passes in the first 2 1/2 quarters, tying Ryan Tannehill’s mark from 2015. The Dolphins QB completed his last seven passes against the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 18, 2015, and then his first 18 the next week against the Houston Texans. Rivers tied the mark with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Keenan Allen midway through the third quarter. He had his only incompletion on the next possession when he was rushed and was unable to connect on a short pass to Austin Ekeler. Rivers broke Mark Brunell’s record for most completions to start a game. Brunell had 22 straight for the Washington Redskins against the Houston Texans on Sept. 24, 2006. Rivers’ 96.8 percent accuracy surpassed Kurt Warner’s 92.3 percent, which was set in 2009 when he went 24-of-26 for Arizona against Jacksonville.

RAVENS 34, RAIDERS 17

Rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson ran for a touchdown and threw for a score, Terrell Suggs returned a fumble 43 yards for a touchdown and Baltimore ran past Oakland. Cyrus Jones took a punt 70 yards for a touchdown to help the Ravens win a second straight game for the first time since September. Gus Edwards rushed for 118 yards as part of an effective ground game that enabled Jackson to pass just enough to keep the Raiders off guard — and off the field. Baltimore expanded a threepoint halftime lead to 27-17 with two run-heavy touchdown drives that consumed a total of nearly 16 minutes. With starter Joe Flacco out for a second straight game with an injured right hip, Jackson cut down on his rushing attempts, threw more often and got the same result — a win.

BILLS 24, JAGUARS 21

Josh Allen scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 14-yard run in the fourth quarter, and the Bills beat the Jaguars in a game marred by a fight that led to the ejections of Jacksonville running back Leonard Fournette and Buffalo defensive end Shaq Lawson. Fournette scored twice to tie it at 14 in the second quarter. He finished with 95 yards on 18 carries before he was thrown out with 2:57 left in the third. Allen also threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to Robert Foster in the rookie quarterback’s first game since missing four with a sprained throwing elbow. Rookie receiver Isaiah McKenzie scored on a 6-yard run off a sweep.

BUCCANEERS 27, 49ERS 9

Jameis Winston threw for 312 yards and two touchdowns to help Tampa Bay snap a four-game losing streak. Winston, benched last month after turning the ball over 11 times in 14 quarters, completed 29 of 38 passes without an interception. The fourth-year pro, who has shared the starting job with Ryan Fitzpatrick, tossed scoring passes of 6 yards to Cameron Brate and 28 yards to Adam Humphries on a play he extended by scrambling to his right before throwing back toward the center of the field. Tampa Bay, meanwhile, had four sacks and forced a turnover on defense for the first time in eight games. Matt Breida rushed for 106 yards for the 49ers.
