Goff completed 45 of 68 passes for 517 yards and two touchdowns with three interceptions in Sunday's 55-40 loss to the Buccaneers.

The Rams fell behind 21-0 early in the second quarter, forcing Goff to sling it the rest of the way and eventually leading to the 23rd 500-yard passing game in NFL history. Despite the huge volume and yardage, however, this loss largely rests on the QB's shoulders -- he threw two early picks that led to two of Tampa's first three TDs, and he ended the Rams' last comeback attempt by fumbling, leading to a Ndamukong Suh return for the game's final score. Goff has tossed five INTs in his last two games, and he won't get much time to shake them out of his system with the Rams playing in Seattle on Thursday.

Wilson completed 22 of 28 passes for 240 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Cardinals. He also ran twice for seven yards.

Wilson is approaching a Drew Brees level of efficiency a quarter of the way through the season, as he's completed 72.9 percent of his passes for eight touchdowns, zero interceptions and 8.6 YPA through four games. He clearly doesn't need a ton of attempts to be a viable fantasy quarterback, which came in handy as the Seahawks shifted to a run-heavy scheme in this contest by affording Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise 25 combined carries, although that was more game script than a pass-averse game plan. Wilson and the Seahawks have a short week before a tough Thursday night matchup against the Rams. Last year, Wilson threw three touchdowns in each game versus the Rams.

Winston completed 28 of 41 passes for 385 passes with four touchdowns and one interception in the Buccaneers' 55-40 win over the Rams on Sunday. He also lost a yard on his sole rush.

Taking on the unbeaten defending NFC champions on the road, Winston showed thorough mastery of coach Bruce Arians' offense for the first time, helping the Buccaneers produce a franchise-record point tally. The fifth-year gunslinger was nearly flawless for the majority of the contest, but the pick-six he threw to Marcus Peters in the fourth quarter helped keep the game's outcome in the balance for a while longer. That mistake aside, Winston constantly was a step ahead of coordinator Wade Phillips' defense, showing particular chemistry with Chris Godwin, who overcame a hip injury to connect with Winston for 12 completions, 172 yards and two touchdowns. Winston also showed a propensity for answering when the Rams drew closer, hitting Mike Evans on a perfectly executed stop-and-go route for a 67-yard score early in the fourth quarter to extend Tampa's lead to 45-27 at the time. Winston now has thrown for a combined 685 yards and seven touchdown passes over his last two games and will look to extend his stellar stretch of play in a divisional road showdown versus the Saints in Week 5.

Coach Matt Nagy said after Sunday's win over the Vikings that he doesn't believe Trubisky's shoulder injury is season-ending, Adam Hoge of WGN Radio reports.

Trubisky exited in the first quarter with the shoulder injury. Backup Chase Daniel came in and threw for 195 yards and a touchdown, while Chicago's defense dominated en route to a 16-6 win. While no timetable has been established for Trubisky's injury, reading between the lines of Nagy's comments suggests the starting quarterback could be staring at a multi-week absence.

Cousins completed 27 of 36 passes for 233 yards in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Bears.

The completions, attempts and even yards were all season highs for the QB, but while he didn't throw a touchdown or interception, Cousins did fumble twice (losing one of them) in the face of relentless pressure from Chicago and got sacked six times on the afternoon. He'll take on a much less daunting defense next week in a road game against the Giants, but that won't necessarily translate to better numbers. So far this year, Cousins' usage has depended entirely on whether Dalvin Cook is dominating the opposition or not.

Brissett completed 24 of 46 passes for 265 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Oakland. He added 19 yards on five carries.

With his team down 14-0 early, Brissett faked out the Raiders defense and the cameramen on a read option near the goal line and dropped it off to Jack Doyle for the first of three touchdowns on the day. Brissett started the season with back-to-back games with under 200 yards passing, but those totals have been picking up in recent weeks and he has an attractive 10-2 touchdown-interception ratio. He'll have a showdown in Week 5 against a Chiefs team that has won a lot of shoot-outs this season.

The results of Carr's (lower leg) X-rays "were good," Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Tafur acknowledged that there's been "nothing official from team" on the topic, but at first glance, Carr's X-rays appeared precautionary, and his status for Week 5's game against the Bears likely isn't in peril.

Stafford completed 21 of 34 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 34-30 loss to Kansas City. He added 18 yards on two attempts.

Stafford came devastatingly close to pulling off the upset Sunday, delivering a 34-yard back-shoulder pass to Marvin Hall in the closing minutes of the game to set up a six-yard touchdown to Kenny Golladay. Stafford has, strangely, dominated in Detroit's loss and tie while putting up so-so numbers in the two wins. One thing to track heading into Week 6 against the Packers is the play of Kerryon Johnson, who finally seemed to find his footing against the Chiefs. If Johnson is able to keep it going, pressure to carry the offense will be lifted off of Stafford's shoulders.

Jones completed 23 of 31 pass attempts for 225 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 24-3 win over the Redskins. He also carried five times for an additional 33 yards.

Jones led his team to touchdowns on its first two drives of the game, only to follow up with interceptions on his next two possessions. Luckily, the Washington offense could do little with Dwayne Haskins at the helm, allowing Jones and the rushing attack to salt away the victory. The rookie has managed 561 passing yards, 61 rushing yards, and six total touchdowns over his first two starts, but he'll face his toughest test yet next Sunday at home against the Vikings.

Carr (lower leg) underwent X-rays following Sunday's 31-24 win over the Colts, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Per the report, Carr got "banged up early-ish in the game and grabbed his lower leg." That said, the QB didn't miss any snaps and wound up completing 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards and two TDs. Given that, hopefully the X-rays were simply a precaution, but until that's clarified either way, Carr's Week 5 status will be worth monitoring.
