The 77 Replay playoff picture has tightened up heading into Thanksgiving weekend and the final four weeks of the regular season.
The Oakland Raiders avenged an earlier blowout loss to the San Diego Chargers and won a hard fought 16-15 victory in Week 10. Kenny Stabler hit Cliff Branch with a 42-yard touchdown pass with 1:30 to play and Rolf Benirschke's desperation 56-yard field goal attempt in the game's final seconds was no good.
Oakland has now won five in a row to improve to 7-3 and now trails San Diego (8-2) by a game. The Denver Broncos are two games back.
San Diego and Miami (8-2) are tied with the AFC's best records. The New England Patriots fell off the pace as five turnovers led to a stunning 24-18 loss at Buffalo. The Patriots had demolished the Bills just two weeks earlier.
Miami rallied to beat Cincinnati 17-14 to take at one-game lead in the AFC East. The loss sent the Bengals back into a three-way tie in the AFC Central with the Oilers and Steelers.
The Baltimore Colts needed a late field goal to hold off an upset bid by the New York Jets as the Colts won 24-21, but they are now tied with the Patriots for second in the AFC East at 7-3.
In the NFC, Los Angeles held off San Francisco to improve to 8-2 and tie Dallas for the conference's top mark at 8-2. Atlanta remains a game behind the Rams in the NFC West.
The NFC Central remains knotted as Detroit, Minnesota and Chicago all have 5-5 marks.
