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.

Gabbert will remain the Titans' backup quarterback for Monday's game against the Texans with starter Marcus Mariota (neck) avoiding an injury designation heading into the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gabbert looked like a candidate for his second start of the season in Week 12 after Mariota exited last weekend's loss to the Colts with what appeared to be an elbow injury. Mariota had previously missed his lone start due to a nerve issue with his throwing elbow, but he received positive news after the Week 11 contest when it was revealed that he was dealing with a neck stinger that was unrelated to his previous injury. The signal-caller proved his health by turning in full practices Friday and Saturday, leaving Gabbert to fill his familiar role as the No. 2 option.

Darnold (foot), who is already listed as out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, likely will miss the Jets' Week 13 contest in Tennessee as well, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Before the Jets decide on Darnold's fate for Week 13, they will see how his strained right foot responds to on-field work during practice sessions next Wednesday through Friday. While it's possible that Darnold could demonstrate enough progress for the Jets to sign off on his return next weekend, the prevailing belief is that the organization will take a more cautious approach with their 2018 first-round pick amid a non-contending season. Darnold, who has completed only 55 percent of his passes this season while throwing 14 interceptions in nine games, hasn't suited up since Week 9 and didn't heal as quickly as anticipated coming out of the team's Week 11 bye. Veteran Josh McCown will thus draw a second straight nod under center this weekend and should start for the duration of the rookie's absence.

Trubisky (shoulder) remains hopeful to suit up in the Bears' Week 13 game against the Giants but it's uncertain if he'll be available for that contest, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Trubisky suffered an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder coming out of the Bears' Week 11 win over the Vikings, prompting the team to hold him out of the Thanksgiving Day victory over the Lions. Prior reports suggested that if the Bears had played Sunday rather than Thursday in Week 12 that Trubisky would have been ready to play, but Schefter's report suggests the second-year signal-caller isn't progressing from the injury as quickly as anticipated. The Bears will reassess Trubisky's condition when they reconvene for their next official practice Wednesday, at which point more clarity on his outlook for the Dec. 2 game against New York should be known.

Savage was waived by the 49ers on Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Savage's third stint with the 49ers comes to an end as the team promoted running back Jeff Wilson from the practice squad. Savage could rejoin the team again but is unlikely to find himself in a situation to play since Nick Mullens and C.J. Beathard are both currently healthy.
