Green Bay 27, Detroit 15 Trench Counter: Packers +6.4, Lions -6.4 They didn't pull away until the second half, but the Green Bay Packers (11-0) remain undefeated following an impressive win over the Detroit Lions (7-4) on Thanksgiving afternoon. Leading 7-0 at halftime, Green Bay scored 17 straight points to take a 24-0 lead after three periods at Ford Field. Aaron Rodgers was spectacular once again, passing for 307 yards and two touchdowns on 22-for-33 attempts. He targeted eleven different receivers and six players had at least 20 receiving yards. The Lions scored a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter to make the final score look more respectable, but they were thoroughly outplayed at home. Matthew Stafford, playing with an injured hand, tossed three interceptions and they were flagged for eleven penalties (82 yards). The Packers earned four of their 18 first downs because of flags. Detroit defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was ejected after a scuffle that saw him step on the arm of a Green Bay offensive lineman. Dallas 20, Miami 19 Trench Counter: Cowboys -6.8, Dolphins +6.8 The Miami Dolphins (3-8) saw their three-game win streak end as they couldn't capitalize on the early miscues of Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys (7-4). Romo threw interceptions on two of the team's first three drives, but the Dolphins only managed to score three points on their first three drives. Dallas also shot themselves in the foot with eleven penalties, resulting in three Miami first downs. Shayne Graham missed a 47-yard field goal in the second quarter that loomed large in the close loss. After struggling early, Romo righted the ship to finish with 226 yards, two touchdowns and the aforementioned interceptions. His favorite target was Laurent Robinson, who had seven catches for 79 yards and two scores. Robinson has seven touchdowns in the team's last five games (4-1). After failing to score on their first four drives, the Cowboys didn't do so on back-to-back possessions for the remainder of the game. Baltimore 16, San Francisco 6 Trench Counter: Ravens +16.4, 49ers -16.4 Baltimore Ravens (8-3) coach John Harbaugh got the better of his little brother, San Francisco 49ers (9-2) coach Jim Harbaugh on Thursday night. It was the first NFL game in history that featured brothers as opposing head coaches. Baltimore's defense dominated the game, tying a franchise record with nine sacks, recording four pass deflections, a dozen quarterback hits and an interception. Meanwhile, Joe Flacco and the offense did more than enough to ensure victory. He went 15-for-23 with 161 yards and a touchdown, while Ray Rice used 21 carries to travel 59 yards. The 49ers played fairly well defensively as well, but they were not as dominant and Alex Smith had one of his worst games of the season. The resurgent former No. 1 overall pick averaged 5.8 yards per pass and threw had a rare turnover. San Francisco couldn't get going on the ground either, with Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter combining to rush 18 times for just 53 yards. The 49ers punted on five of their nine drives and were flagged seven times for a total of 97 yards. Atlanta 24, Minnesota 14 Trench Counter: Falcons +6.6, Vikings -6.6 After jumping out to a 17-0 lead in the first half, the Atlanta Falcons (7-4) held off the Minnesota Vikings (2-9) to keep pace in the NFC playoff picture. Christian Ponder led the Vikings to a comeback in the second half, engineering a pair of touchdown drives in the second half to make the score 17-14 with 13 minutes left in regulation. Three possessions after Ponder connected with Percy Harvin on a 39-yard touchdown, Matt Ryan found Matt Palmer for a three-yard touchdown to put the game out of reach. Ryan finished 27-for-34 with 262 yards and three scores at the Georgia Dome. Cincinnati 23, Cleveland 20 Trench Counter: Bengals +6.1, Browns -6.1 The Cleveland Browns (4-7) had an early lead against the Cincinnati Bengals (7-4), but they ultimately lost on a 26-yard field goal by Mike Nugent with 38 seconds left in regulation. The Bengals gained 115 more total yards than the Browns, averaging six yards per play against 4.2 per offensive snap for Cleveland. Trailing 20-10 with close to four minutes left in the third quarter, the Bengals scored 13 unanswered points to finish the game. Andy Dalton went 21-for-31 with 270 yards and a touchdown pass, finishing with a rating of well over 100. Cedric Benson helped the Bengals balance their attack with 21 carries for 106 yards and a score. A.J. Green caught three passes for 110 yards, extending his rookie-to-rookie connection with Dalton. After scoring on a field goal midway through the third period, Cleveland's final five drives went: interception, punt, punt, missed field goal (55-yarder) and turnover on downs. Carolina 27, Indianapolis 19 Trench Counter: Panthers -2.5, Colts +2.5 The Indianapolis Colts (0-11) remained winless after a close loss to the Carolina Panthers (3-8) at Lucas Oil Stadium.

On second-and-3 from the Carolina three-yard line, Curtis Painter was intercepted. Painter, who fumbled but had it recovered by a teammate, went 15-for-29 with 226 yards, a touchdown and two picks. Cam Newton went 20-for-27 with 208 passing yards and nine scrambles for 53 yards and a touchdown. He is the first quarterback to score 10 rushing touchdowns since Daunte Culpepper (2002). Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams combined to rush 25 times for 139 yards and two scores. Carolina had possession of the football for a little more than 36 minutes. Houston 20, Jacksonville 13 Trench Counter: Texans -9.3, Jaguars +9.3 The Houston Texans (8-3) edged the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-8) despite losing Matt Leinart to an apparent collarbone injury in the first half. T.J. Yates took over for Leinart, but the Texans didn't score in the second half. Houston had just nine first downs and averaged only 3.6 yards per play, while Jacksonville accumulated 14 first downs. The Texans were led by their defense. They sacked Blaine Gabbert and Luke McCown seven times, had six pass deflections and 12 quarterback hits. Jacksonville was led by Maurice Jones-Drew, who rushed 18 times for 99 yards, and also caught a team-high four passes for 67 yards. McCown, who began the season as the No. 1 option, replaced Gabbert midway through the fourth quarter and was more effective. McCown went 7-for-11 and averaged 5.6 yards per passing attempt. N.Y. Jets 28, Buffalo 24 Trench Counter: Jets +2.2, Bills -2.2 The New York Jets (6-5) and Buffalo Bills (5-6) traded touchdowns through the first three quarters before the momentum shifted one final time. Dave Rayner hit a 53-yard field goal with 9:46 left in regulation to give Buffalo a 24-21 edge, but Mark Sanchez marched the Jets down the field 67 yards on 12 plays over 4:43 for the game-winning score. Sanchez, who had four touchdown passes despite hearing boos from the home crowd, found Santonio Holmes for a 16-yard score with a little over a minute remaining. The Jets had two turnovers and held the ball for just 23 minutes, but New York forced Buffalo to punt seven times. Sanchez was also protected by his offensive line, which kept him unsacked, while Ryan Fitzpatrick was sacked three times and hit on five other occasions. Arizona 23, St. Louis 20 Trench Counter: Cardinals +5.4, Rams -5.4 The Arizona Cardinals (4-7) scored 17 points in the third quarter and Jay Feely hit a 22-yard field goal with 4:09 left to beat the St. Louis Rams (2-9) at Edward Jones Dome.

John Skelton threw two interceptions and Beanie Wells lost a fumble, but St. Louis was called for eight penalties. Despite his fumble, Wells had a banner afternoon, rushing 27 times for 228 yards and a touchdown. He helped take the pressure off Skelton, who went 12-for-23 with 114 yards and the aforementioned interceptions. Tennessee 23, Tampa Bay 17 Trench Counter: Titans +1.4, Buccaneers -1.4 The Tennessee Titans (6-5) used a dominant fourth quarter to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-7) at LP Field. Entering the final period trailing by seven, the Titans scored the final 13 points of the game.

Despite the miscues, Hanie did tally 254 yards and two scores to keep the Bears alive. Chicago briefly took a 7-6 lead with 4:41 left in the second quarter, but the Raiders scored 12 consecutive points to take control of the game. The two teams were separated by just four seconds in time of possession. Washington 23, Seattle 17 Trench Counter: Redskins +7, Seahawks -7 The Washington Redskins (4-7) jumped out to a 7-0 lead against the Seattle Seahawks (4-7) and then rallied late for a win at CenturyLink Field. Seattle took a 17-7 lead with 12:45 left in regulation on a 15-yard connection between Tarvaris Jackson and Golden Tate. Washington then scored 16 unanswered points in 10 minutes thanks to solid play from Rex Grossman. He led the Redskins on back-to-back touchdown drives to begin the fourth quarter. After Tate's touchdown, the Seahawks did the following on their final four drives: punt, punt, turnover on downs and interception. Washington had seven more first downs and 416 total yards (against 250 yards for Seattle). The two teams combined for 19 penalties that cost them 206 yards. Denver 16, San Diego 13 (OT) Trench Counter: Broncos +0.5, Chargers -0.5 Tim Tebow helped lead the Denver Broncos (6-5) to another last-second win, this time over the San Diego Chargers (4-7). The Chargers had a 10-0 edge in the first half before Tebow found Eric Decker for an 18-yard touchdown pass. After a Nick Novak field goal a few minutes into the third quarter, Matt Prater hit a pair of three-pointers over the final 16 minutes of regulation to send the game to overtime. Prater won the game on a 37-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in overtime. After Novak missed a 53-yarder that could have won the game, Tebow helped lead Denver down the field to set up the game-winning kick. Tebow ran twice for 16 yards and then handed the ball over to Willis McGahee for 24 yards. Winners of four straight, the Broncos are just a game back of the Raiders for first place in the AFC West and in the thick of the Wild Card race. New England 38, Philadelphia 20 Trench Counter: Patriots +11.1, Eagles -11.1 The Philadelphia Eagles (4-7) led 10-0 with a few minutes left in the first quarter, but the New England Patriots (8-3) scored 21 straight points to take a lead they would never relinquish.

Oakland 24, San Diego 17 Trench Counter: Raiders +16.2, Chargers -16.2 Carson Palmer got on track as the Oakland Raiders (5-4) extended the woes of the rival San Diego Chargers (4-5) at Qualcomm Stadium.

Jacksonville had just 39 more total yards than Indianapolis, but they had five more first downs and were able to do so via both the run and pass. Blaine Gabbert went 14-for-21 with 118 yards, a touchdown and an interception, for a 5.6 average. Jacksonville leaned heavily on Maurice Jones-Drew, who ran 25 times for 114 yards and a score.

Planning to run heavily, the Broncos lost both Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno to injuries in the first quarter, but they still rushed for 244 yards on an eye-popping 55 attempts. Kansas City struggled offensively for the second straight week and Matt Cassel was replaced by Tyler Palko in the fourth quarter after the starter was deemed “too banged up” to play. Palko finished 5-for-6 with 47 yards, more efficient than Cassel’s 13-for-28 performance for 93 yards and a score. The Chiefs punted on all of their first-half possessions aside from a one-play affair at the end of the second quarter. Miami 20, Washington 9 Trench Counter: Dolphins +2.8, Redskins -2.8 The Miami Dolphins (2-7) earned their second win in as many weeks as they topped the Washington Redskins (3-6) at Sun Life Stadium. The Dolphins limited the Redskins to just three field goals and they enjoyed another productive afternoon from Reggie Bush. He rushed 14 times for 47 yards and scored the only two touchdowns of the game. Both clubs were called for six penalties and committed two turnovers, but Miami was 8-for-14 on third down and both of their turnovers came on short drives.

Carolina had two turnovers, against just one for the Titans, and they were penalized 12 times for 96 yards.

Offensively, Philadelphia scored just 10 points as Asante Samuel returned an interception for a touchdown in the second quarter to give the team a 7-0 lead. With 5:06 left in regulation, the Eagles took a 17-14 lead on a 36-yard field goal by rookie Alex Henery. On the next drive, Philadelphia allowed Skelton to lead Arizona on an 11-play, 87-yard drive over three minutes and 13 seconds.

Baltimore scored the final 10 points of the game, but Tarvaris Jackson led Seattle on a 13-play drive that went 43 yards and took up the final 5:52 minutes of the game after Joe Flacco and Co. got to within five points. Flacco passed 52 times after Seattle jumped out to a 10-0 lead, completing 29 of those attempts for 225 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Ray Rice, who ran just five times for 27 yards, threw a one-yard touchdown pass to tight end Ed Dickson in the second period.

Giants 20 Trench Counter: 49ers +2.4, Giants -2.4 After a first half that included five field goals, the San Francisco 49ers (8-1) and New York Giants (6-3) combined for four touchdowns over the final 18 minutes of the game. The Giants had possession of the football for nine more minutes, five more first downs and they were 7-for-14 on third down, but the 49ers capitalized on miscues with a pair of touchdowns in a 61-second span early in the fourth quarter. After Alex Smith connected with Vernon Davis on a 31-yard touchdown pass to put San Francisco up by seven, Eli Manning was intercepted by Carlos Rogers. One play later, Kendall Hunter ran 17 yards to the left to give the team a 27-13 edge. The Giants scored a touchdown on the ensuing possession and then forced a three-and-out, but they couldn’t convert after reaching the red zone with less than two minutes remaining in regulation.

With the scoring done on defense and special teams, the Bears rushed 35 times for 109 yards and a score.

Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow completed just two passes in the team's 17-10 win over the Chiefs on Sunday afternoon. One of those completions was a 56-yard connection with Eric Decker for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Broncos played almost the entire game without their top two running backs as Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno both left with injuries in the first quarter. Tebow finished 2-of-8 for 69 yards, but added 44 yards and a score on the ground.
