* COLTS 27, TITANS 17: At Indianapolis, the Colts (12-0) tied the NFL

record for longest winning streak, beating Tennessee for its 21st consecutive regular-season victory. The only other team to win that many in a row: New England from 2006-08. Peyton Manning (24-for-37, 270 yards) threw one TD pass, Joseph Addai (79 yards, 21 carries) ran for two scores and the Colts spent the second half protecting the lead against the Titans (5-7). Tennessee's Chris Johnson (113 yards, 27 carries) had his seventh straight 100-yard game.

* DOLPHINS 22, PATRIOTS 21: At Miami, Chad Henne (29-for-52)

threw for a career-high 335 yards and directed a 51-yard drive for the winning field goal with 1:02 left, and Miami (6-6) rallied past New England (7-5). The Dolphins overcame an early 14-point deficit to keep their slim playoff prospects alive, while AFC East leader New England (7-5) remained winless in five games on the road this season. The defeat was sealed when Channing Crowder made his first career interception, picking off Tom Brady (19-for-29, 352 yards) with 35 seconds left.
