The Washington Redskins reached the postseason on Sunday with a 27-6 victory over their archrivals, the Dallas Cowboys.

Dallas rested anyone who was questionable with an injury because they had already clinched home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

The Redskins (9-7) will travel to Seattle on Saturday for a rematch of a 2005 division playoff won 20-10 by the Seahawks.

Clinton Portis ran for two touchdowns and had 104 yards on 25 carries and 27 yards on four receptions.

Titans 16, Colts 10

In Indianapolis, Kerry Collins spent most of the season waiting for a chance to prove he could still play.

With a playoff spot at stake, Tennessee's backup quarterback delivered the biggest win of the season.

He led the Titans to three second-half field goals, including a 54-yarder from Rob Bironas to retake the lead in a 16-10 victory that left Tennessee celebrating and Cleveland grimacing. The Titans visit San Diego next Sunday.

The Titans (10-6) had to win to make the playoffs for the first time since 2003. A loss would have given Cleveland their first playoff berth since 2002.

Broncos 22, Vikings 19, OT

At Denver, Jason Elam kicked a 30-yard field goal less than a minute into overtime.

The Vikings (8-8) needed a win and a Washington loss to Dallas to sneak into the playoffs, but neither the Redskins nor the Broncos (7-9) obliged.

With the playoffs out of his reach, Vikings rookie running back Adrian Peterson settled for the NFC rushing title. He gained 36 yards on 11 carries.

Chargers 30, Raiders 17

In Oakland, California, LaDainian Tomlinson ran for 56 yards to win his second-straight rushing title and Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes as the Chargers spoiled JaMarcus Russell's first career start.

By ending the season with six-straight wins, the Chargers (11-5) beat out Pittsburgh for the No. 3 seed. San Diego will host Tennessee next Sunday instead of playing Jacksonville, the last team to beat the Chargers.

Ravens 27, Steelers 21

In Baltimore, So Musa Smith ran for 83 yards and a touchdown in his first NFL start, helping Baltimore (5-11) end a nine-game losing streak.

The Steelers (10-6) had already clinched the AFC North and were locked into a wild-card game at home next weekend. They could have earned the third seed by defeating Baltimore, coupled with a loss by San Diego, but Pittsburgh downplayed that scenario.

Pittsburgh will open the playoffs Saturday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Browns 20, 49ers 7

In Cleveland, Joshua Cribbs returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown, Jamal Lewis rushed for 128 yards and rookie quarterback Brady Quinn made his long-awaited NFL debut as Cleveland beat San Francisco.

In other games, it was: Bears 33, Saints 25; Packers 34, Lions 13; Falcons 44, Seahawks 41; Texans 42, Jaguars 28; Panthers 31, Bucs 23; Bengals 38, Dolphins 25; Eagles 17, Bills 9.
