Ben Roethlisberger passed for 289 yards and two touchdowns, Le'Veon Bell rolled up 182 yards of total offense and the Pittsburgh Steelers harassed Eli Manning into a flurry of mistakes in a 24-14 home victory over the New York Giants.

Tight end Ladarius Green made six receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown as the Steelers (7-5) earned their third victory in a row to keep pace with Baltimore atop the AFC North.

The Giants (8-4) saw their six-game winning streak end with a thud but remain in position for the NFC's top wild card.

Tampa Bay 28, San Diego 21: Jameis Winston threw a go-ahead, 12-yard touchdown pass to Cameron Brate midway through the fourth quarter and Keith Tandy intercepted Philip Rivers in the end zone with 2:56 left to give the visiting Buccaneers (7-5) their fourth consecutive victory, pulling them into a tie with Atlanta atop the NFC South. The Chargers (5-7) were trying to get back to .500 for the first time since Week 2.

Cincinnati 32, Philadelphia 14: Andy Dalton threw a pair of touchdown passes and the host Bengals (4-7-1) got their depleted offense moving without receiver A.J. Green, handing the Eagles (5-7) their seventh loss in nine games. Cincinnati scored on each of its first six possessions for a 29-0 lead.

New England 26, Los Angeles 10: Tom Brady threw for 269 yards and a touchdown, LeGarrette Blount scored on a 43-yard run and the host Patriots (10-2) rolled over the Rams (4-8).
