Wilson completed 23 of 33 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-28 win over the Browns. He also ran nine times for 31 yards and a score.

Wilson looked excellent again as he extended plays to notch his 14th passing touchdown and third rushing touchdown in six games. His game was highlighted by a nine-play, 79-yard game-winning drive in the fourth quarter where Wilson threw for 55 yards and scrambled for eight yards before Chris Carson punched in a one-yard score. Wilson's efficiency continues to be superb, as he has at least 8.1 YPA in every contest, and Sunday's 69.7 completion percentage was his second-lowest of the season.

Mayfield completed 22 of 37 passes for 249 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 32-28 loss to the Seahawks. He also ran four times for 35 yards and a score.

Mayfield bounced back from his brutal Week 5 performance, but his interceptions proved to be his downfall in this contest. Two of his picks came in Seattle territory, including one in the red zone. Mayfield had a chance to right his wrongs when the Browns got the ball back with 3:30 remaining, down four points with two timeouts on hand. Unfortunately, Mayfield threw his third interception of the day to K.J. Wright on the second play of the drive, and the Browns never got the ball back. Mayfield enters the bye week banged up, as he exited this game for a bit with a hip injury, although the X-rays came back negative and he returned to the game, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Bridgewater completed 24 of 36 passes for 240 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Saints' 13-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also netted zero yards on his three rushes.

It was far from a smooth offensive game for either squad, but as he's proven capable of over the last several weeks, Bridgewater did enough to lead the Saints to victory. The veteran remained free of any mistakes and battled through three sacks on the afternoon. Bridgewater also helmed an 11-play, 75-yard fourth-quarter march that knocked 6:22 off the clock and culminated in a four-yard touchdown pass to Jared Cook to seal the win for New Orleans. He also connected with six different pass catchers on the afternoon overall. Bridgewater will look to conquer the thorny challenge that is the Bears defense in a Week 7 matchup if he does indeed draw at least one more start in place of Drew Brees (thumb).

Allen completed 20 of 32 passes for 227 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Panthers' 37-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for three yards.

Another week, another victory with Allen at the helm. The second-year quarterback put together his fourth straight interception-free game while hitting a tight rotation of five pass catchers on the day. Allen connected with Curtis Samuel and Christian McCaffrey for his pair of scoring throws and saw an increase in offensive responsibility with McCaffrey being effectively stonewalled on the ground for most of the contest. With news emerging that Allen may remain the quarterback even when Cam Newton (foot) is ready to return, the young signal-caller will head into the bye week with plenty of confidence before resuming play versus the 49ers in Week 8.

Winston completed 30 of 54 passes for 400 yards with one touchdown and five interceptions in the Buccaneers' 37-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass, had a two-point conversion rush and committed two fumbles, losing one.

The stat line says it all for Winston, who may have struck one of the sharpest contrasts between a real-world and fantasy performance in recent memory. The six turnovers are the obvious blemishes from a gameplay standpoint, and they effectively squashed any chance of the Buccaneers seriously threatening in this game past the first quarter. Three of Winston's interceptions came in the second half as the Buccaneers tried to overcome their self-inflicted wounds, with the final one transpiring with 21 seconds remaining and definitively ending any last hope Tampa may have had of mounting a comeback. There will surely be no shortage of questions for head coach Bruce Arians regarding the quarterback position over the upcoming two-week layoff, with Winston now having thrown eight interceptions and fumbling five times overall. Ryan Griffin, who's yet to take a regular-season snap in his career, is Winston's backup with Blaine Gabbert (shoulder) on injured reserve.

McCoy (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Miami.

If the Redskins have to make a change at QB on Sunday, as they have in many games this season, McCoy won't be taking the field. Instead, Case Keenum will get the start while rookie Dwayne Haskins serves as his backup.

Rodgers (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Rodgers was limited in practice all week, and it appears that was simply precautionary. He'll be under center for Monday's home game, which will decide the leader in the NFC North. In his only full game against the Lions last year, Rodgers threw for 442 yards and three touchdowns.

Falk was waived by the Jets on Friday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

With Sam Darnold (illness) back in action this weekend and the Jets re-signing David Fales to serve as his backup, Falk's time on the active roster has come to end. Should he clear waivers, he will likely return to the team's practice roster, which is where he started the regular season.

McCoy likely will be inactive for Sunday's game in Miami, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Interim coach Bill Callahan plans to use Dwayne Haskins as the backup quarterback behind starter Case Keenum. There isn't much reason to keep McCoy active for the contest.

Rodgers (knee) remained limited at Friday's practice, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

There doesn't seem to be any real doubt about Rodgers' availability for Monday's game against the Lions, but he'll likely be playing without his No. 1 wide receiver for another week. Davante Adams was pessimistic Thursday when discussing his toe injury, and he didn't practice Friday in any capacity. It still isn't clear if Rodgers is dealing with an injury in the same knee that bothered him last year.
