SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith threw short touchdown passes to Frank Gore and Vernon Davis for a solid outing in a 20-3 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
It was the kind of mistake-free day San Francisco coach Mike Singletary has sought for weeks.
Joe Nedney kicked field goals of 46 and 27 yards for San Francisco (5-6), which snapped the Jaguars' three-game winning streak and spoiled the Bay Area homecoming of Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio and running back Maurice Jones-Drew.
The Jaguars' loss clinched the AFC South title for the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts, who rallied to win at Houston earlier Sunday.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- A long field goal by Rian Lindell and a long touchdown catch by Terrell Owens in the final minutes propelled the Buffalo Bills to a 31-14 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
The win was the first for interim coach Perry Fewell, who replaced the fired Dick Jauron two games ago.
Lindell's career-best 56-yard field goal with 3:35 left in the fourth quarter put the Bills (4-7) ahead for the first time at 17-14. Just 72 seconds later, Ryan Fitzpatrick teamed up with Owens on a 51-yard scoring play and Fred Jackson's second TD of the game, a 7-yard run with 1:20 left, closed out the scoring as the Bills ended a three-game losing streak.
After Owens scored, he mimicked Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter's sack celebration by pretending to kick dirt in the end zone. Miami fell to 5-6.
