Wilson completed 21 of 28 pass attempts for 288 yards, five touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 35-30 win over New England. He added 39 rushing yards on five carries.

Wilson was incredible once again, keeping his club one step ahead of the Patriots' comeback attempts. The dual-threat quarterback completed touchdown passes to five different receivers in this one, bringing his season total up to nine through two contests. Wilson could be involved in yet another shootout next week against a Dallas squad that can put up points but has trouble preventing them.

Taylor (chest) was discharged from the hospital Sunday night after being admitted due to breathing problems, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Per a team statement, Taylor's status for the Week 3 game against the Panthers will be determined later this week. Most importantly, the quarterback appears to be alright after having difficulty breathing prior to the kickoff of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Mahomes completed 27 of 47 pass attempts for 302 yards and two touchdowns and added 54 yards on six carries during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.

Mahomes got off to an extremely slow start as the typically prolific Chiefs offense was stopped on four of five possessions in the first half. He turned it up a notch in the second half and helped his team draw level with a 54-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill in the fourth quarter. Mahomes then led a methodical 13-play drive in overtime to set up the winning field goal, completing crucial passes to Hill and Clyde Edwards-Helaire to set it up. The superstar signal-caller now has five touchdowns and 513 yards with no interceptions through two games and will look to continue his excellent start next Monday night in a tough matchup with the Ravens.

Jackson completed 18 of 24 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown and ran for 54 yards on 16 carries in Sunday's 33-16 win over the Texans.

After a first quarter that saw only one field goal between the two teams, the Ravens' running game and defense took control, leaving Jackson with little need to air it out. This kind of game script could become common for Baltimore this season, limiting the production of the team's superstar QB, but that shouldn't be an issue in Week 3 as Jackson and the Ravens go toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champions from Kansas City.

Herbert completed 22 of 33 passes for 311 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing for 18 yards and a TD on four carries in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to Kansas City.

Thrust into the starting lineup ahead of schedule when Tyrod Taylor reported chest pains during pregame warmups and had to be sent to the hospital, Herbert very nearly led the Chargers to an upset of the reigning champs. The sixth overall pick in this year's draft looked poised in leading his team to a 14-6 lead at halftime before Patrick Mahomes launched a late comeback. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, coach Anthony Lynn said after the game that Taylor would handle starting duties if he's 100 percent for Week 3 game against the Panthers, but Herbert's excellent performance in his NFL debut likely means he won't have to wait long for his next starting opportunity. If Lynn reverses course and names Herbert the team's new top quarterback or if Taylor isn't ready to go for Week 3, Herbert could put up big numbers at home against a Panthers defense that has surrendered 65 points through its first two games.

Watson completed 25 of 36 passes for 275 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Ravens. He also rushed five times for 17 yards.

Watson's completion percentage was fine, but he missed some crucial throws in the Texans' second loss in two games. The most critical miss came on a fourth-and-one at their own 34 that gave Baltimore a short field for their first touchdown. The Ravens came prepared to shut down running back David Johnson, who gained just 34 yards on 11 carries, so it was up to Watson and the passing offense. He wasn't helped when Ravens linebacker L.J. Fort turned a Keke Coutee fumble into a touchdown. On a positive note, Watson connected with newcomers Brandin Cooks (five catches, 95 yards) and Randall Cobb (five, 59) after the pair were quiet in Week 1. Watson will try to avoid an 0-3 start in Week 3's road match against the 2-0 Steelers.

Murray completed 26 of 38 passes for 286 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing for 67 yards and two TDs on eight carries in Sunday's 30-15 win over Washington.

The second-year pivot once again did a lot of damage with his legs, rushing for a 14-yard score at the end of the first quarter and then a 21-yard TD early in the fourth, but he was nearly as impressive with his arm, finding both Andy Isabella and Christian Kirk on receptions of longer than 40 yards in addition to plenty of completions to DeAndre Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald underneath. Murray appears to be taking a huge step forward in his development this season, and he could be poised for another big game in Week 3 against a Lions defense that couldn't contain either Aaron Rodgers or Mitchell Trubisky in its first two contests.

Coach Anthony Lynn said in his post-game interview after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that Taylor (chest) was suffering from chest pains during pregame warmups and is at the hospital receiving further evaluation, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The exact nature of Taylor's health situation is still unclear at this time, but it's concerning that he needed to go to the hospital after leaving in pregame warmups. Rookie Justin Herbert received the start with Taylor sidelined and topped 300 passing yards in the 23-20 overtime loss, but Lynn said that the veteran will reprise his role as the team's starter when healthy, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Expect the Chargers to provide another update on Taylor's status before the team resumes practicing Wednesday.

Cousins completed 11 of 26 pass attempts for 113 yards, throwing three interceptions during Sunday's 28-11 loss to the Colts.

Indianapolis dominated Minnesota's front five in the pass rush, collecting seven QB hits and three sacks while deflecting nine of Cousins' pass attempts on the afternoon. The 32-year-old signal-caller was capable of putting up decent production against Green Bay last week with his team trailing throughout the second half, as he wrapped up with 259 passing yards and two touchdowns. Minnesota had only four offensive possessions throughout the entirety of the second half Sunday against Indianapolis, with the first three opportunities going interception, punt, punt on a combined 11 plays. Cousins will look to get back on track Week 3 with the Vikings taking on a Titans defense that gave up 339 passing yards and three touchdowns to Jacksonville's Gardner Minshew on Sunday.

Prescott went 34-for-47 passing with 450 yards and one passing touchdown, adding 18 yards and three touchdowns on five carries during Sunday's 40-39 win against the Falcons. He also lost a fumble on the Cowboys' second offensive possession of the game.

As if the three rushing scores did not already boost him toward a week-winning fantasy performance Sunday, Prescott's 450 passing yards were good for the third-most in his 66 career regular-season outings. Prescott's performance surely was enhanced by game script, as Dallas fell into a 29-10 halftime deficit, forcing the quarterback to put up 28 pass attempts in the third and fourth quarters in order to execute a comeback. With 716 passing yards already to his name in 2020, Prescott will next face a Seahawks defense that gave up 450 passing yards in its season debut.
