Watson completed 25 of 36 passes for 308 yards with an interception in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans. He added 19 yards and a touchdown on three carries.

While he didn't throw a TD pass for a second straight game, Watson produced a season high in passing yards and scored his first rushing TD since Week 2 of the 2024 season on a nine-yard scamper in the fourth quarter. Watson also led his fifth game-winning, fourth-quarter drive of the year, completing another comeback after the Browns fell behind 14-0 early. The veteran QB will take a 7:3 TD:INT through seven games into a Week 8 meeting with the Steelers.

Murray completed 14 of 24 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts. He added 39 rushing yards on five carries.

With the Vikings' defense dominating on their side of the ball, Murray's modest numbers were enough to keep the team undefeated. He did shine on a fourth-quarter drive that produced Minnesota's only TD. scrambling for a 35-yard gain to get the ball into the red zone and then finding T.J. Hockenson for a five-yard score. Murray has just a 3:2 TD:INT through five starts and has yet to add a touchdown on the ground, but he could put together his first big performance of the season in a Week 8 clash with the Lions.

Burrow completed 22 of 30 passes for 292 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 12 yards in the Bengals' 35-13 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Burrow couldn't lead the Bengals to a single point in the first half, but the 2020 first overall pick came out of intermission locked in. Burrow helped spearhead five consecutive scoring drives to start the second half, capping four of them with touchdown passes to Mike Gesicki (six yards), Tee Higgins (13 yards), Ja'Marr Chase (two yards ) and Drew Sample (16 yards). The game marked Burrow's second straight with four scoring tosses and zero interceptions, and both his passing yardage total and 73.3 percent completion rate were both his second highest of the season. Burrow will take 1,653 passing yards and a 15:3 TD:INT into a Week 8 home matchup against the Titans next Sunday.

Stroud completed 17 of 28 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants. He added two rushing attempts for four yards and threw a successful two-point conversion.

Stroud threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison in the final minute of the first half and added a two-point conversion to Cade Stover to tie the score at 14-14 heading into halftime. Houston's next points didn't come until the final minute of the fourth quarter, when Stroud found Xavier Hutchinson for a three-yard touchdown that sent the game to overtime. The Texans went three-and-out on the first possession of OT, and the Giants responded with a touchdown to drop the Texans to 2-5 heading into Houston's Week 8 bye. It's hard to blame Stroud for the team's poor record given his strong 11:1 TD:INT.

Jones completed 13 of 22 passes for 108 yards with an interception in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings. He added 13 yards on four carries.

Whatever Jones learned during his brief time under Minnesota coach Kevin O'Connell at the end of the 2024 season didn't help him figure out Brian Flores' defense. The QB posted a season low in passing yards, and he failed to throw a touchdown for the third time in seven starts this season. Jones will take a miserable 4:7 TD:INT into a Week 8 tilt against the Jaguars.

Willis completed 14 of 21 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns while rushing six times for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.

Willis gave the Dolphins their first lead of the season with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Caleb Douglas on the opening drive. After the Jets tied the game on the ensuing possession, Miami reclaimed the lead with a one-yard Ollie Gordon touchdown run, and Willis extended the advantage to 14 points with a two-yard touchdown run in the waning seconds of the first half. Miami's offense stalled for most of the second half until Willis found Douglas for a 63-yard catch and run to take a 28-17 lead with 4:44 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Jets scored on their next drive, but Willis sealed his first win as Miami's QB with a successful fourth-down QB sneak to pick up a first down and set up victory formation. Up next for Willis and the 1-5 Dolphins is a Week 8 home game against the Patriots.

Smith completed 23 of 30 passes for 287 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins. He also rushed twice for no gain and threw a successful two-point conversion.

Smith matched Miami's opening-drive touchdown with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Mason Taylor on the Jets' first drive, but the veteran QB threw an interception deep in Dolphins territory on the next drive. The Jets trailed for the entirety of the last three quarters, allowing Smith to rack up some big numbers during their failed comeback bid, as he posted his second three-touchdown performance of the season. He found Omar Cooper for a three-yard touchdown in the third quarter after they connected for a 60-yard gain earlier on that drive, and Smith threw a 12-yard touchdown and two-point conversion, both to Taylor, to round out the scoring with 3:24 remaining in the fourth, but the Dolphins ran out the clock from there to drop the Jets to 2-5 heading into a Week 8 home game against the Raiders.
