Corey Ivy had two tackles, a sack, an interception and a forced fumble to lead the Baltimore defense to a 27-0 shutout of Pittsburgh in week 12 of the NFL season.

Ivy's forced fumble resulted in a 57-yard touchdown return by Adalius Thomas in the third quarter that eliminated any comeback hopes for the Steelers.

Ravens receiver Mark Clayton caught two passes for 31 yards while defensive lineman Kelly Gregg added a solo tackle for the Ravens. The win put Baltimore comfortably atop the AFC North with a 9-2 record, while the Steelers dropped to 4-7.

The Tennessee Titans erased a 21-0 fourth quarter deficit to stun the New York Giants, 24-21. Brandon Jones caught the game-tying touchdown pass from Vince Young with 44 seconds to play.

Just 21 seconds later, Adam “Pacman” Jones intercepted an Eli Manning pass to give the Titans a chance to win the game. Vince Young completed two straight passes and Rob Bironas drilled a 49-yard field goal with six seconds on the clock to secure the comeback win.

Brandon Jones finished the game with four catches for 38 yards and the crucial touchdown reception.

The Dallas Cowboys were impressive in a 38-10 drilling of Tampa Bay on Thanksgiving Day. Roy Williams had three tackles and an interception for Dallas in the traditional holiday game.

Williams' five interceptions on the season rank second in the NFC and tied for fifth overall in the NFL. Dallas featured an explosive offense, led by quarterback Tony Romo with 306 yards passing and five touchdowns.

The Jacksonville Jaguars lost a heartbreaker to the Buffalo Bills, 27-24 on the road. Rian Lindell hit a 42-yard field goal as time expired to give the Bills the win, dropping the Jaguars to 6-5. Clint Ingram recorded six tackles for Jacksonville.

The New England Patriots defeated the Chicago Bears, 17-13, in the NFL's game of the week. Tommie Harris had four tackles for the Bears, who fell to 9-2 on the season.

The Patriots, led by Asante Samuel's three interceptions, improved to 8-3. Mark Bradley caught one pass for 15 yards and notched a tackle on special teams for Chicago. Derrick Strait saw his first action for the Bears, recording one tackle.

The San Francisco 49ers watched their three-game winning streak come to an end as they lost to the St. Louis Rams, 20-17. Down 17-13 with under a minute to play, the Rams took the air out of San Francisco with a five-yard touchdown pass from Marc Bulger to Kevin Curtis that proved to be the winning score. Brandon Moore registered six tackles for the 49ers.

The Kansas City Chiefs beat Denver, 19-10 on Thanksgiving Day. Stephen Alexander caught three passes for the Broncos for 19 yards and a touchdown.
