Allen completed eight of 19 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown and added 99 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries during Sunday's 24-21 win over the Jaguars. He fumbled once, but the ball stayed with the offense.

Allen did the bulk of his damage with his legs, but nobody is going to forget the 75-yard javelin-toss that he hit Robert Foster with late in the first quarter, putting Buffalo up by two scores early. It's hard to see what Allen's ceiling is this season for the Bills as there isn't a ton of talent along the line or at the skill positions. Still, a few highlight-reel plays against a stingy Jacksonville defense in his first game back is a strong start. Next up is another tough test, a Miami defense ranked in the top 12 in the league in opponent passer rating.

Carr completed 16 of 34 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-17 loss to Baltimore. He lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown and there was some brief concern that he had suffered a concussion during the contest, Paul Guitierrez of ESPN reports.

Carr delivered during the Raiders' opening drive, connecting with tight end Lee Smith for a 30-yard gain on fourth and short to set up a opening Doug Martin touchdown run. It was mostly downhill from there, as the Ravens battered Carr and limited his ability to get the ball downfield. Carr has now been held under 200 yards passing in three of his last four games and has just three touchdowns during that span. He'll need to significantly improve in order to keep up with Kansas City's offense in Week 13. It's also worth noting the Chiefs defense now ranks in the top half of the league in opponent passer rating allowed, making Carr's challenge all the more daunting.

Mayfield completed 19 of 26 passes for 258 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 35-20 win over the Bengals.

Mayfield led his team to 28 first-half points with three touchdown passes, representing the franchise's highest first-half scoring total since 1991. Those three scores consisted of a 13-yarder to Antonio Callaway, a six-yarder to David Njoku and a 14-yarder to Nick Chubb. Mayfield added a six-yard touchdown to Darren Fells in the third quarter, snapping Cleveland's 25-game road losing streak in emphatic fashion. The first overall selection from the 2018 draft is living up to the hype, and he'll look to keep rolling against Houston in Week 13.

Mullens completed 18 of 32 passes for 221 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in the 49ers' 27-9 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a yard in two carries and fumbled once but recovered.

Mullens was serviceable once again in what was his third professional start, and his numbers were particularly impressive considering he played without top receiving options Marquise Goodwin (personal) and Pierre Garcon (knee). The rookie connected with Dante Pettis from 13 yards out in the second quarter for his only touchdown of the game, but he did throw a pair of picks for the second consecutive contest. Despite the loss Sunday, Mullens has done nothing to lose his grip on the starting job, putting him in line to open up under center once again versus the Seahawks in Week 13.

Jackson completed 14 of 25 passes for 178 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 34-17 win over the Raiders. He added 71 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and fumbled a ball that was recovered by the offense.

Jackson extended the Ravens' lead early in the fourth quarter with an eight-yard quick slant to Michael Crabtree, his first passing touchdown as a starter. That play, and an earlier five-yard touchdown run, will give fans hope for what is to come, but Jackson still has a ways to go as a passer. Aside from two picks, one of which was tipped, Jackson averaged a paltry 4.3 yards per attempt if you were to exclude a wide-open 74-yard go to Mark Andrews. It may be time to let him grow now that Baltimore has won two straight. True, he's faced two of the bottom 10 teams in the league in opponent passer rating, but he'd have the benefit of another in Week 13 if he were to get the start over Joe Flacco (hip) against Atlanta.

Driskel completed 17 of 29 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown while rushing three times for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-20 loss to the Browns.

Driskel came in with his team down big after Andy Dalton injured his thumb. He promptly cut the deficit to 35-14 with a 28-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd, then called his own number from two yards out to complete the scoring with eight minutes remaining. Should Dalton be forced to miss extended time, the 25-year-old Florida native showed that he can capably run the offense. The Bengals will host the Broncos in Week 13.

Winston completed 29 of 38 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 27-9 win over the 49ers on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 24 yards.

Coach Dirk Koetter couldn't have asked for a better performance out of Winston in his return to the starting job, as he remained mistake-free and connected with eight different pass catchers overall. Winston opened the scoring with a 6-yard scoring strike to Cameron Brate in the first quarter, and he came back with a 28-yard scoring toss to Adam Humphries in the fourth quarter that served as the final points of the day for either squad. The 2015 first overall pick's future with the franchise beyond this season reportedly remains in flux, but performances like Sunday's, which qualified as his third 300-yard performance in four starts, certainly serve as a ringing endorsement for a longer-term commitment. Winston will look to provide a fitting encore against the Panthers in Week 13.

Wilson completed 22 of 30 passes for 339 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Wilson didn't throw a touchdown in the first half, but he came out firing in the second with a deep 54-yard completion to David Moore to set up an 12-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett to take the Seahawks' first lead of the game. With the game knotted at 27 late in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks were gifted good field position due to a Panthers' missed field goal, and Wilson responded with a bomb to Lockett to put the team in field-goal range, where Sebastian Janikowski eventually won it. This is Wilson's first time surpassing 300 yards this season and his 10th multi-touchdown game. The Seahawks stay alive in the playoff race and will look to continue the success against the 49ers in Week 13.

Dalton has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Browns with a right thumb injury.

Jeff Driskel will finish up Sunday's game in relief of Dalton, who completed 10 of 17 passes for 100 yards, to go along with a TD and a pick as well as two carries for 21 yards. If Dalton's injury threatens his Week 13 availability, the Bengals could add QB depth via the free agent route or they could promote Connor Cook from the team's practice squad.

Dalton injured his right thumb trying to recover a fumble on a bad snap in the third quarter Sunday against the Browns.

Dalton immediately went to the locker room to get the thumb examined after the play, which resulted in a turnover and subsequent Browns touchdown. Jeff Driskell is in line to replace him should he miss time.
