Cousins completed 25 of 37 passes for 294 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.

Both scores were caught by Tyler Conklin, but Cousins' favorite target on the day was Justin Jefferson, who hauled in nearly 50 percent of the quarterback's passing yards. It's the sixth time in nine games Cousins has tossed multiple TDs, and he'll take a sharp 18:2 TD:INT into a Week 11 clash with the Packers.

Rudolph completed 30 of 50 passes for 242 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 16-16 tie against Detroit.

Rudolph got a spot start in the place of Ben Roethlisberger (illness), though his effort was uninspiring even in a positive matchup. He averaged only 4.8 yards per attempt and regularly missed throws to open receivers, including an overthrow to Kalen Ballage late in the first quarter with the result being an interception. More positively, Rudolph did manage to lead the Steelers to a touchdown on the first drive of the game, which he capped with a nine-yard pass to James Washington. Rudolph remains in line to start in Week 11 against the Chargers should Roethlisberger fail to clear medical protocols and remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Walker completed 22 of 29 passes for 167 yards and an interception but threw for a two-point conversion in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals. He also rushed three times for six yards and lost a fumble.

Walker started in place of Sam Darnold (shoulder), but he quickly saw fellow quarterback Cam Newton steal the spotlight. Newton began by rushing for a two-yard touchdown on Carolina's first drive, then threw a two-yard score on the next one. In his first game back with the Panthers, Newton only featured here and there, but his overall impact still trumped that of Walker, who turned it over twice despite otherwise finishing with a tidy completion percentage. Looking ahead to Week 11's matchup versus Washington, it'll be interesting to see whether Walker's familiarity with the offense will be enough for him to stave off his newfound competition from Newton to start at quarterback, as it was revealed Sunday that Darnold is unlikely to play again this season.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury clarified after Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Panthers that McCoy left the game due to a pectoral injury, Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic reports.

The severity of McCoy's injury is yet to be determined, but the quarterback was unable to come back into the game after initially being deemed questionable to return. If neither McCoy nor Kyler Murray (ankle) are ready to return to action against the Seahawks in Week 11, the Cardinals will presumably turn to Chris Streveler, who replaced McCoy against Carolina.

Rodgers completed 23 of 37 pass attempts for 292 yards and one interception against Seattle on Sunday.

Rodgers dealt with a couple untimely drops and seemed to have trouble getting on the same page with some pass catchers -- tight end Josiah Deguara in particular -- but fortunately for the Packers, the opposing quarterback (Russell Wilson) was wildly ineffective and Green Bay was able to eventually lean on its AJ Dillon-led run game to secure the win. Rodgers will need to be sharper at Minnesota in Week 11.

Wilson (finger) completed 20 of 40 pass attempts for 161 yards and two interceptions and scrambled five times for 32 yards Sunday in the Seahawks' 17-0 loss to the Packers.

Back after a three-game absence, Wilson was almost certainly limited by the surgically repaired middle finger on his throwing hand, as his return occurred more quickly than the initial injury prognosis considered possible. When fully healthy, Wilson is certainly capable of delivering a better performance, especially against a Green Bay secondary without its best corner in Jaire Alexander (shoulder). Wilson missed throws he usually doesn't, and almost every rep was ugly in some way or another. The Arizona defense is more dangerous than Green Bay's, so Wilson will hope to shake the rust before the Week 11 contest.

Siemian completed 19 of 34 passes for 298 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Titans.

Siemian drew his second consecutive start and had his best showing of the season. He averaged 8.8 yards per attempt, in large part thanks to completing six passes of 20 yards or more. Siemian also threw for multiple touchdowns for the second consecutive game, as he connected with Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway for scores of 11 and 15 yards, respectively. Despite some chatter of Taysom Hill seeing an increased role, he earned only two pass attempts, which allowed Siemian to top 30 pass attempts for the first time on the campaign. Based on this effort, Siemian can be expected to remain the starter in Week 11 against Philadelphia.

Goff completed 14 of 25 passes for 114 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 16-16 tie against Pittsburgh.

The Lions prioritized their rushing attack, totaling 39 attempts on the ground as opposed to only 25 for passes for Goff. In part, that could have been due to game script, though Goff was also reportedly battling a rib injury, according to Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Even when he took to the air, Goff was far from spectacular by averaging only 4.6 yards per attempt, and he also failed to throw for a touchdown for the fifth time in his last seven games. As a result, there's not much reason for optimism heading into a Week 11 matchup against Cleveland.

McCoy suffered a chest injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

McCoy got banged up on a sack and had to yield the offense to fellow reserve Chris Streveler with Kyler Murray (ankle) missing his second consecutive contest. Prior to his exit, McCoy completed 11 of 20 passes for 107 yards and one interception and had one carry for minus-1 yard.

Heinicke completed 26 of 32 passes for 256 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and added 15 yards on three rushes in Washington's 29-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Heinicke turned in a razor-sharp performance in a rematch against the team that had ousted him and his teammates from last season's postseason, connecting on a season-high 81.3 percent of his throws and staying free of turnovers altogether. The 28-year-old's interception-less performance was his first since Week 4, and he helped seal the upset victory with several key completions during a marathon 19-play touchdown drive that took up 10:26 of the fourth quarter. Heinicke's quest to follow up a season-best effort will unfold in a Week 11 road date against a tough Panthers secondary.
