Ravens 20, Jaguars 12
BALTIMORE - The Ravens sacked rookie Blake Bortles eight times and returned a blocked punt for a touchdown.
Baltimore (9-5) gained only 31 yards rushing through three quarters and scored just once with its offense on the field. But the defense was solid, and special teams helped the Ravens stay in the thick of the AFC playoff chase.
Terrell Suggs was credited with 21/2 sacks, and rookie Timmy Jernigan, starting for the suspended Haloti Ngata, had two.

SAN DIEGO - Peyton Manning played through a thigh injury and flulike symptoms, and Connor Barth kicked five field goals to lead Denver to a fourth straight AFC West title.
Manning came out of the game late in the second quarter. He apparently hurt his thigh while blocking linebacker Donald Butler on a run by C.J. Anderson. He returned for the start of the third quarter.
Denver's 12th straight division road win tied San Francisco's NFL record set from 1987 to '90.

Jets 16, Titans 11
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Chris Ivory scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 3:09 left in a game marked by a brawl between teams playing only for pride, with the loser hoping for better draft position.
The Jets (3-11) got their first road win this season in the first NFL game to end with a 16-11 score. They also snapped a three-game skid.
The Titans have lost eight straight and 11 of 12 in their worst skid since 1994, when home was in Houston.

Lions 16, Vikings 14
DETROIT - Matt Prater's 33-yard field goal with 3:38 remaining lifted Detroit into a tie for first place in the NFC North.
The Lions are even atop the division with Green Bay, but they didn't have an easy time, spotting the Vikings (6-8) a 14-0 lead before a pair of second-quarter interceptions helped the Lions start their rally.
Even at the end, Detroit had to sweat out a 68-yard field-goal attempt by Minnesota's Blair Walsh on the game's final play. The kick was short.
