New England won the AFC East on Sunday, while Philadelphia clinched a wild-card berth and took a two-game lead in the NFC East.

St. Louis can join the parade Monday night with a victory at Cleveland.

The Patriots (11-2) won their ninth straight game, longest streak in the NFL, with a 12-0 victory over Miami (8-5) before a crowd thinned by a blizzard that dropped 28 inches on the Foxboro area since Friday night.

''Hopefully, there's more excitement down the road,'' quarterback Tom Brady said.

Philadelphia, which began the season with two home defeats, manhandled Dallas 36-10. Donovan McNabb threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns in the Eagles' eighth consecutive win.

''We stayed confident, we stayed together and that's important,'' McNabb said.

Patriots 12, Dolphins 0

At Foxboro, Mass., Tedy Bruschi returned an interception 5 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown, prompting many of the 45,738 fans who braved the snow to clutch fistfuls of the powdery stuff and fling them into the wind, giving the stadium a festive and frosty air. All 68,436 seats at Gillette Stadium were sold, but there were 23,058 no-shows.

The shutout was New England's second in four games, both 12-0, and the first sustained by the Dolphins in 32 games.

Eagles 36, Cowboys 10

At Philadelphia, Correll Buckhalter ran for 115 yards, including a 64-yard TD run in the fourth quarter that capped the scoring. McNabb, the worst-rated passer in the NFL through six games, has thrown for 1,513 yards, nine TDs and only one interception in the last six games.

Philadelphia (10-3) hasn't lost since a 23-21 defeat in Dallas on Oct. 12, while Dallas is 3-4 after a 5-1 start under new coach Bill Parcells.

Falcons 20, Panthers 14, OT

At Atlanta, Michael Vick rushed for 145 yards - the third-highest total by a quarterback in NFL history - before Kevin Mathis scored on a 32-yard interception return in overtime.

After Deon Grant picked off Vick's pass at the Carolina 2 to deny the Falcons (3-10) a chance to win in regulation, the Panthers (8-5) got the ball first in overtime.

On third down, Jake Delhomme attempted a pass over the middle. Mathis picked off the ball and dived into the end zone.

Carolina was denied a chance to clinch the NFC South championship.

Colts 29, Titans 27

At Nashville, the Colts (10-3) improved to 6-1 on the road by scoring 19 straight points and forcing four fumbles, which they turned into nine points. Edgerrin James ran for two touchdowns and Mike Vanderjagt kicked five field goals as the Colts swept the defending AFC South champion Titans (9-4), who have lost two in a row.

Vanderjagt has made 37 successive field goals, three short of Gary Anderson's league mark.

Peyton Manning was 22-of-34 for 228 yards. Steve McNair, who has a sore calf and ankle, finished 22-of-38 for 235 yards. He nearly rallied the Titans to a tie, throwing two touchdown passes in the final 9:24 and even running for a 2-point conversion. But Dwight Freeney tipped another 2-point conversion pass, and it fell incomplete.

Broncos 45, Chiefs 27

At Denver, Clinton Portis had 218 yards and a team-record five touchdowns. Portis came off a 34-carry, 170-yard game in the rain last week against Oakland and was even better. He had touchdown runs of 11 and 1 yards in the first half, then added scores of 59, 28 and 53 yards in the second. Portis had 188 yards after halftime, finished with his fifth consecutive 100-yard game and third straight with at least 160 yards.

Portis' effort helped Denver (8-5) tie Miami for the final AFC playoff spot and prevented Kansas City (11-2) from winning its first division title since 1997. The Chiefs' Trent Green threw for 397 yards and Priest Holmes scored two touchdowns.

Redskins 20, Giants 7

At East Rutherford, N.J., Bruce Smith set the career mark for sacks when he trapped Jesse Palmer for a 7-yard loss with 8:33 to play. The 40-year-old defensive end pulled down Palmer for his 199th sack.

Smith stood up, raised an arm in the air and was mobbed by teammates, walking off the field and waving to the crowd, which booed. Smith passed Reggie White, who had 198 sacks in a 15-year career.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Redskins (5-8) and handed the Giants (4-9) their fifth straight loss, eliminating New York from the playoff picture.

Vikings 34, Seahawks 7

At Minneapolis, the Vikings (8-5) stayed on top of the NFC North thanks to Daunte Culpepper and Randy Moss, who connected on a pair of long touchdown passes. Culpepper threw for 274 yards and three touchdowns. Moss had eight receptions for 133 yards, with scores of 47 and 45 yards. Kelly Campbell caught a 43-yard touchdown pass and rookie Mike Nattiel returned an interception 80 yards for a score.

The Seahawks (8-5) are 1-5 away from home.

Packers 34, Bears 21

At Green Bay, Mike McKenzie, burned early for a 61-yard score, returned his second interception of the day 90 yards for a touchdown for the Packers (7-6). Ahman Green ran 30 times for 80 yards. He needed 92 to break Jim Taylor's 41-year-old single-season rushing record, the oldest team rushing mark in the NFL.

Jerry Azumah returned a kickoff for an 88-yard score for the Bears (5-8), who took a quick 14-0 lead, but then turned the ball over five times.

49ers 50, Cardinals 14

At San Francisco, Terrell Owens caught seven passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns on his 30th birthday, and Jeff Garcia threw four TD passes and ran for two more scores.

Kevan Barlow rushed for a career-best 154 yards and a touchdown as the 49ers (6-7) had their highest-scoring performance since 1994.

The Cardinals (3-10), who beat San Francisco in overtime six weeks ago, lost their fifth straight.

Buccaneers 14, Saints 7

At New Orleans, Tampa Bay (6-7) scored two touchdowns in the final 1:25 of the first half, including a 1-yard catch by Warren Sapp.

The defending Super Bowl champions swarmed Deuce McAllister every time he got the ball and held him to 69 yards rushing, snapping his nine-game streak of gaining 100 yards or more. The Saints (6-7) had won three straight vs. the Bucs.

Bills 17, Jets 6

At Orchard Park, N.Y., Travis Henry, playing with a broken bone in his right leg and torn rib cartilage, ran for a career-high 169 yards and a touchdown for Buffalo (6-7). Drew Bledsoe had a 6-yard touchdown pass to Josh Reed, and Sam Adams had two sacks. The Jets (5-8), for the first time in Chad Pennington's 18 career starts, failed to score a touchdown.

Steelers 27, Raiders 7

At Pittsburgh, Jerome Bettis moved past Thurman Thomas into ninth place on the NFL career rushing list with 106 yards. It was the first 100-yard game by a Steelers runner this season and only Bettis' second in 2 1/2 seasons.

Pittsburgh (5-8) also was helped by versatile Antwaan Randle El, who set up three scorers with catches of 24 and 15 yards and a 51-yard punt return

The Raiders' collapse a season after playing in the Super Bowl reached new depths as they fell to 3-10.

Jaguars 27, Texans 0

At Jacksonville, the Jaguars (4-9) handed the second-year Texans (5-8) their first shutout. Houston's was undermanned without starting quarterback David Carr (shoulder, flu) and running back Domanick Davis (thigh).

Fred Taylor broke a late 62-yard run to finish with a season-high 163. Jimmy Smith caught a 32-yard touchdown and Tony Brackens had two sacks.

Chargers 14, Lions 7

At Detroit, LaDainian Tomlinson had the best game as a receiver by any NFL running back this year. Tomlinson caught nine passes for 148 yards, and had touchdown receptions of 73 yards and 16 yards that gave San Diego (3-10) a 14-0 lead.

Tomlinson also had 88 yards rushing on 25 carries. He surpassed 200 yards offense for the fourth time this season with a season-high 236.

The Lions (4-9) had won three straight at home.
