Packers 21, Bears 13
CHICAGO - Green Bay got by archrival Chicago to clinch its second straight NFC North title.
The Packers (10-4) now have won six straight in the NFL's oldest - and fiercest - rivalry. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, all to James Jones.
Brandon Marshall had a 15-yard TD catch for the Bears (8-6), who have lost five of six and are in danger of missing the playoffs after beginning the season with a 7-1 record.

Dolphins 24, Jaguars 3
MIAMI - Miami kept former teammate - and QB bust - Chad Henne out of the end zone to beat Jacksonville.
Henne, playing in Miami for the first time since leaving during the offseason, threw for 221 yards and no picks - but the Dolphins (6-8) turned back three scoring threats to seal the win.
The 2-12 Jaguars, meanwhile, enhanced their chances of getting the No. 1 draft pick next April.

Texans 29, Colts 17
HOUSTON - Houston beat Indianapolis to repeat as AFC South champion.
The Texans (12-2) grabbed their first AFC South title last season after the Colts nosedived without Peyton Manning.
Manning is gone and Andrew Luck couldn't do much against the inspired Houston defense. The Colts (9-5) had won three straight and needed a win to clinch a playoff berth.

Raiders 15, Chiefs 0
OAKLAND, Calif. - All it took for Oakland to snap a six-game losing streak was for Sebastian Janikowski to kick five field goals and for its defense to shut out Kansas City.
The Raiders (4-10) overwhelmed the undermanned Chiefs (2-12) to produce a rare bright spot this season for Oakland.
There has been little to cheer for this season for the Chiefs, who are tied for the second-most losses in franchise history behind a 2-14 mark in 2008.
