>>Bears Ease Past Cardinals

(Glendale, AZ)  --  The Chicago Bears scored a pair of defensive touchdowns and Brandon Marshall caught a touchdown pass in a 28-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals.  Charles Tillman returned an interception for a touchdown for the third time this season.  The Bears snapped a three-game losing streak to improve to 9-and-6 and keep themselves alive for an NFC playoff spot.  Matt Forte rushed for 88 yards and a TD but left the game with an ankle injury in the third quarter and did not return.  Arizona got a score on a blocked field goal return in the fourth quarter.  The Cardinals have lost 10 of their last 11 games and are 5-and-10.

>>Rams Roll Buccaneers

(Tampa, FL)  --  Sam Bradford threw for 196 yards, two scores and an interception as the Rams rolled the Buccaneers, 28-13.  Steven Jackson ran for 81 yards and a touchdown for St. Louis, which improved to 7-7-and-1 on the year.  Lance Kendricks made four catches for 119 yards and a TD for the Rams.  Josh Freeman tossed for 372 yards, a touchdown and four interceptions for Tampa Bay, which dropped to 6-and-9.  Freeman has thrown four interceptions in back-to-back weeks to move his season total to 12.  Doug Martin rushed for 62 yards in the setback.  Mike Williams had seven catches for 132 yards and a touchdown for the Bucs.

>>Packers Roll Over Titans

Tennessee fell to 5-and-10 and will miss the playoffs for the fourth straight season.

>>Colts Win, Clinch Playoff Spot

(Kansas City, MO)  --  Indianapolis clinched an AFC playoff spot one year after a 14-loss season with Sunday's 20-13 win over Kansas City.  Andrew Luck threw the go-ahead touchdown to Reggie Wayne with 4:08 left to play, and the Colts overcame a 226-yard rushing performance from KC's Jamaal Charles.  Luck threw for 205 yards and broke the NFL single-season rookie record set by Carolina's Cam Newton last season.  Luck's 4,183 yards this season is the new standard.  The Colts moved to 10-and-5 and hold the fifth seed in the AFC postseason picture.  Peyton Hillis added 101 rushing yards for the Chiefs, who fell to 2-and-13.
