FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady shattered Steelers safety Anthony Smith’s guarantee of a win with four touchdown passes, two to Randy Moss, as New England crushed Pittsburgh 34-13 on Sunday.

The lopsided victory against the NFL’s stingiest defense followed a two-game struggle in which the Patriots (13-0) needed late comebacks to beat teams with losing records, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

The Patriots became the fifth team with a 13-0 record, joining the 1934 Chicago Bears, 1972 Miami Dolphins, 1998 Denver Broncos and 2005 Indianapolis Colts. The victory clinched a first-round playoff bye.

• Bills 38, Dolphins 17

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Rookie Trent Edwards’ four touchdown passes, two each to Lee Evans and Robert Royal, led Buffalo (7-6) over the woeful Dolphins (0-13).

Miami is off to the third-worst start to a season in NFL history, joining Oakland (1962) and Indianapolis (1986). The Dolphins have lost 16 straight dating to last season, matching the NFL’s eighth longest streak.

The Bills’ running attack produced two 100-yard rushers for the first time since 1996 — Fred Jackson (115) and Marshawn Lynch (107).

• Cowboys 28, Lions 27

DETROIT — Jason Witten caught a 16-yard, go-ahead TD pass with 18 seconds left. With the win, Dallas (12-1) clinched the NFC East and moved a step closer to earning home-field advantage in the conference playoffs.

The tight end had career highs with 15 receptions and 138 yards, and was able to enjoy his accomplishments because he redeemed himself after fumbling inside the 1 midway through the fourth quarter.

Tony Romo was 35-of-44 for 302 yards and two TDs, helping the Cowboys win 12 of their first 13 games for the first time in franchise history.

• Seahawks 42, Cardinals 21

SEATTLE — Matt Hasselbeck threw four touchdown passes, the most of his season, as the Seahawks (9-4) clinched their fourth consecutive NFC West title.

Hasselbeck completed 22 of 33 throws for 272 yards and no interceptions to stay on pace for team records in attempts, completions and yards. He is completing 63 percent and has 11 TDs with just three interceptions during this winning streak.

Arizona’s Kurt Warner threw a career-high five picks and was sacked five times. Patrick Kerney had his third three-sack day in four games. He leads the NFL with 131⁄2 sacks.

• Chargers 23, Titans 17, OT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — LaDainian Tomlinson scored on a 16-yard run with 7:29 left in overtime, and the Chargers rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter for their third straight victory and seventh in nine games.

Tennessee (7-6) had a chance to run out the clock in a game the Titans desperately needed to win, but gave the ball back to San Diego (8-5) with 2:24 left in regulation and Philip Rivers, who was sacked five times, threw a TD pass with 9 seconds left.

• Texans 28, Buccaneers 14

HOUSTON — Sage Rosenfels threw for three TDs to lead the Texans (6-7) and has won both games he’s started in place of the injured Matt Schaub.

Tampa Bay (8-5), which could have secured the NFC South title with a win, started Luke McCown as Jeff Garcia missed his second straight game with a bruised back. McCown had a big game last week in a win over New Orleans, but was sacked four times and harassed for most of the day in this one. He was 25-of-38 for 266 yards with no touchdowns and a fumble.

• Jaguars 37, Panthers 6

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Fred Taylor ran for 132 yards and a TD and Jacksonville (9-4) harassed Vinny Testaverde, stuffed DeShaun Foster and locked down Steve Smith — the defense’s most complete game since consecutive wins at Denver and Kansas City early in the season.

The defense shared the spotlight with Taylor, whose 80-yard TD run with 9:48 to play was the longest run from scrimmage in the NFL this season. He passed up Eddie George (10,441) and Tiki Barber (10,449) on the NFL’s all-time rushing list and now ranks 18th with 10,457 yards.

• Browns 24, Jets 18

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Derek Anderson threw two TD passes and Joe Jurevicius recovered two late onside kicks as Cleveland strengthened its playoff chances.

Jamal Lewis had a TD catch and added a 31-yard TD run for a 24-15 lead with 1:22 left, and the Browns (8-5) moved a game in front of Tennessee and Buffalo in the wild-card race..

Kellen Clemens led the Jets downfield in the closing minutes and scored on a 1-yard sneak with 2:59 left to get within 17-12, but the 2-point conversion pass to Chris Baker fell incomplete.

New York then pulled off a successful onside kick and Mike Nugent kicked a 38-yard field goal that made it 17-15 with 1:43 left.

• Giants 16, Eagles 13

PHILADELPHIA — Eli Manning threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress, Lawrence Tynes made three short field goals and the Giants moved closer to a wild-card playoff spot.

David Akers hit the right upright on a 57-yard field goal attempt in the final seconds after Donovan McNabb drove the Eagles 50 yards in the final minute.

The Giants (9-4) are almost locked into the No. 5 seed in the NFC. Meanwhile, the defending division champion Eagles (5-8) are all but eliminated from contention following their third straight loss.

• Broncos 41, Chiefs 7

DENVER — The Broncos manhandled the Chiefs, finally playing like the contender they fancied themselves after an offseason spending spree.

Jay Cutler threw a career-best four TD passes, Selvin Young rushed for a career-high 156 yards on 17 carries and Elvis Dumervil had three sacks and forced a fumble that led to a touchdown. Cutler completed 20 of 27 passes for 244 yards, no interceptions and a passer rating of 141.0.

The Broncos (6-7) remain two games behind San Diego in the AFC West.

• Bengals 19, Rams 10

CINCINNATI — Rudi Johnson ran 1 yard for a TD, Shayne Graham kicked four field goals on a nasty day, and the Bengals took advantage of Rams novice quarterback Brock Berlin.

The Bengals (5-8) needed only to contain running back Steven Jackson and avoid mistakes. The Rams’ Fakhir Brown intercepted Carson Palmer’s first pass of the second half and returned it 36 yards for his first career TD.

• Colts 44, Ravens 20

BALTIMORE — Peyton Manning threw four TD passes, including the 300th of his career, and the Colts built a 30-point lead in the second quarter. The win, a sixth consecutive trip to the postseason.

Baltimore (4-9), which lost its seventh straight, committed five turnovers, had a punt blocked and managed only 57 yards in offense through the first 30 minutes. The Colts scored three TDs in the first quarter and two more in the second.
