The Denver Broncos stamped themselves as the AFC’s top team by ending Kansas City’s perfect run.

Peyton Manning threw for 323 yards and a touchdown Sunday night and was barely touched by Kansas City’s sack-happy defense in Denver’s 27-17 victory.

The Broncos (9-1) tied the Chiefs atop the AFC West. Temporarily, Denver holds the tiebreaker, but the teams meet again in two weeks in Kansas City.

With Jack Del Rio replacing coach John Fox in charge of the Broncos for the second straight week — Fox is recovering from heart surgery — Denver became the first team to score more than 17 points on Kansas City this season.

Bears 23, Ravens 20

At Chicago, in perhaps the longest game in pro football history — counting a nearly 2-hour weather delay — the Bears (6-4) moved into a tie atop the NFC North with Detroit. Robbie Gould kicked a 38-yard field goal in overtime after Justin Tucker tied it for the Ravens (4-6) with a 21-yarder at the end of regulation.

Saints 23, 49ers 20

At New Orleans, the 49ers fell far behind in the NFC West race and New Orleans (8-2) took a big step toward an NFC South title and a postseason first-round bye.

Marques Colston capped a record-setting day with a 20-yard reception to get the Saints into field goal range, and Garrett Hartley kicked a 31-yarder as time expired. Hartley, who missed four field goals in the Saints’ previous three games, made all three of his field goal attempts in the fourth quarter.

Eagles 24, Redskins 16

At Philadelphia, Nick Foles threw for 298 yards and ran for a touchdown, LeSean McCoy had two TDs rushing and Philadelphia snapped a 10-game home losing streak. The Eagles hadn’t won at the Linc since defeating the Giants on Sept. 30, 2012.

“Not one person on this team was defeated,” Foles said. “Everybody in our locker room believed we can win and if you feel that way, it’s something special. We have to keep the momentum going.”

Chip Kelly’s Eagles (6-5) are first in the NFC East, a half-game ahead of idle Dallas.

Bengals 40, Browns 21

At Cincinnati, in nasty weather, Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and the Bengals returned a blocked punt and a fumble for touchdowns during a 31-point second quarter that set a team record.

The Bengals (7-4) head into their bye week with a 2½-game lead atop the AFC North.

Seahawks 41, Vikings 20

At Seattle, Percy Harvin made an impact in his season debut, returning a kickoff 58 yards to set up Russell Wilson’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin, in the Seahawks’ franchise-record 13th straight home win.

Harvin made his anticipated Seattle debut against the Vikings (2-8), his former team, after missing the first 10 weeks following hip surgery.

Giants 27, Packers 13

At East Rutherford, N.J., defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul scored on a spectacular, leaping 24-yard fourth-quarter interception return and the resurgent Giants won their fourth game in a row by beating slumping and injured-riddled Green Bay.

Eli Manning threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Rueben Randle and Brandon Jacobs added a 1-yard run as the host Giants (4-6) handed the Packers (5-5) their third straight loss, their longest skid since a five-game losing streak near the end of 2008.

Cards 27, Jaguars 14

At Jacksonville, Fla., Carson Palmer threw for 419 yards and two scores and did not throw an interception for the first time all season.

Michael Floyd had a career-high 193 yards receiving, including a 91-yard touchdown on a catch-and-run as the Cardinals (6-4) won their third straight game.

Bills 37, Jets 14

At Orchard Park, N.Y., Jairus Byrd had two interceptions in leading a Buffalo defense that forced four turnovers. Kyle Williams had two sacks and forced a fumble, and Da’Norris Searcy returned Geno Smith’s third interception 32 yards for a touchdown. Buffalo (4-7) snapped a three-game skid.

Buffalo’s EJ Manuel won Round 2 of the AFC East showdown of rookie quarterbacks by finishing 20 of 28 for 245 yards and two scores.

Dolphins 20, Chargers 16

At Miami, the Dolphins held the Chargers without a touchdown over the final three quarters, and Brent Grimes broke up Philip Rivers’ final pass in the end zone as time expired.

Raiders 28, Texans 23

At Houston, rookie Matt McGloin threw three touchdown passes in his first NFL start and Oakland extended Houston’s franchise-record skid to eight games in Texans coach Gary Kubiak’s return from a mini-stroke.

McGloin, an undrafted free agent, was 18 of 32 for 197 yards in place of an injured Terrelle Pryor.

Bucs 41, Falcons 28

At Tampa, Fla., the Bucs won again as Bobby Rainey rushed for 163 yards and scored three touchdowns. A waiver wire pickup filling in for the injured Doug Martin and Mike James, Rainey scored on first-half runs of 43 and 3 yards.
