LOS ANGELES - Tom Brady became the quarterback with the most NFL wins ever and New England improved to 10-2 on the season with their 26-10 victory over Los Angeles Sunday. The Patriots held the Rams to 25 yards of offense in the first half - the fewest number of yards ever allowed by New England in a half on their way to an emphatic win over the Rams (4-8) losers of their last three. Brady, who threw one touchdown pass, posted the 201st victory, including the postseason, in his pro career, breaking the tie he had with Peyton Manning. Chiefs 29, Falcons 28: Eric Berry, who already had an interception return for a touchdown, picked off an attempted two-point conversion pass from Matt Ryan in the fourth quarter and raced 99 yards to give Kansas City victory over Atlanta. The Chiefs (9-3) also scored two touchdowns on fourth-down plays, including a fake punt, as they stunned the Falcons (7-5). Albert Wilson raced 55 yards with a short direct snap on the fake punt and Berry, an Atlanta native, had a 37-yard interception return for a TD. Quarterback Alex Smith completed 21 of 25 passes for 270 yards and a Chiefs touchdown. Steelers 24, Giants 14: Ben Roethlisberger, thriving again in a matchup of quarterbacks from the 2004 draft class, threw two touchdown passes and Pittsburgh took advantage of repeated early New York mistakes to their six-game winning streak. Roethlisberger, the last of the three star QBs drafted 12 years ago in the first round but arguably the best, found Antonio Brown for 22 yards and tight end Ladarius Green for 20 yards on scores to outplay Giants QB Eli Manning. The Steelers (7-5) won their third in a row after dropping four straight in coming out on top against the Giants (8-4). Ravens 38, Dolphins 6: Joe Flacco threw for 381 yards with four touchdowns and tight end Dennis Pitta had nine catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns as Baltimore snapped visiting Miami›s six-game winning streak. Baltimore (7-5) remained on top of the AFC North, while the Dolphins slipped to 7-5, dampening their playoff hopes. Packers 21, Texans 13: A limping Aaron Rodgers, hobbled with a hamstring injury, led Green Bay past Houston at snowy Lambeau Field. Rodgers completed 20 of 30 on the slippery field for 209 yards and two touchdowns and directed back-to-back scoring drives of 98 and 89 yards in the second half to snap a 7-7 tie. The victory kept the Packers (6-6) alive in the NFC North. Houston lost its third in a row and fell into a first-place tie with Tennessee at 6-6 in the AFC South. Raiders 38, Bills 24: Derek Carr threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns, and Oakland came from behind to score 29 unanswered points and defeat Buffalo at the Oakland Coliseum. The Raiders won their sixth straight game and improved to 10-2 to remain in first place in the AFC West, one game ahead of the 9-3 Chiefs. The Bills (6-6) lost in Oakland for the ninth straight time as their playoff hopes took a huge blow. In other games it was: Broncos 20, Jaguars 10; Lions 28, Saints 13; Buccaneers 28, Chargers 21; Cardinals 31, Redskins 23; Bengals 32, Eagles 14; Bears 26, 49ers 6.
