MIAMI - The Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks secured places in the playoffs on Sunday in an exciting climax to the NFL's regular season.

The Packers beat the Chicago Bears 10-3 and will visit the Philadelphia Eagles in the wildcard round next week. With Green Bay's victory they denied the New York Giants a place in the playoffs even though they beat the Washington Redskins 17-14.

A one-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers to tight end Donald Lee put the Packers ahead in the fourth quarter and their defense held firm.
