Stafford completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 307 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Cowboys.

Stafford completed 80 percent of his passes as he averaged a healthy 10.2 yards per attempt. His overall numbers were driven by a pair of long touchdown passes to Golden Tate, including one in the final minutes which put the visitors ahead. Unfortunately for Stafford, his team fell to 1-3 on a field goal in the final seconds, but he's been excellent over the last three weeks and is averaging 305 yards per game to go along with a 7:1 TD:INT ratio during that span. He'll look to keep it up in what could be a shootout with the Packers next Sunday.

Prescott completed 17 of 27 pass attempts for 255 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Lions.

Prescott averaged a healthy 9.4 yards per attempt as he set a new season high in yardage. He connected with Ezekiel Elliott for a 38-yard touchdown in the second quarter and found Geoff Swaim from one yard out for another score in the third. Perhaps Prescott's most impressive moment came with just seconds left in the game on a deep ball to Elliott to set up the winning field goal. After three consecutive games under 175 passing yards to start the season, Prescott looked more like the 2016 version of himself in this one and could be rounding into form now. He'll look to build on this effort next Sunday night against Houston.

Darnold completed 17 of 34 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for eight yards in Sunday's 31-12 loss to the Jaguars.

Darnold took care of the ball, but he failed to make much of a dent against Jacksonville's elite defense. His lone touchdown was a two-yard strike to tight end Jordan Leggett early in the fourth quarter. The rookie quarterback's still a work in progress, but he should have an easier time at home against Denver next week.

Watson completed 29 of 42 passes for 375 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Colts. He added 41 yards and a touchdown on six carries.

Watson is heating up after a putrid Week 1, now recording three consecutive games with at least 300 yards passing and two touchdown throws. He finally got a rushing touchdown late in the third quarter, looping around the left side for a five-yard touchdown. What should be most encouraging is that he looked as though he took care of the football better Sunday, his lone turnover coming off of a pass that was slightly off target but otherwise in DeAndre Hopkins' hands. Watson has put up these numbers against some pretty solid units, but he'll get a tougher test on Sunday with Dallas' top-10 pass defense.

Dalton completed 29 of 41 passes for 337 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while adding 13 yards on two carries in Sunday's 37-36 win over Atlanta.

Dalton started the game with his full array of aerial weapons available with A.J. Green (pelvis) suiting up. Cincinnati's eighth-year starter hooked up with tight end Tyler Eifert for a 15-yard touchdown on the team's first possession and added a 39-yard score to speedster John Ross in the second quarter. Unfortunately for the Bengals, Eifert later left the game with what looked like a broken leg. Dalton still managed to lead his team to victory, though, taking the lead for good on a 13-yard touchdown pass to Green with seven seconds left. He'll host the Dolphins in Week 5.

Tannehill completed 11 of 20 passes for 100 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Dolphins' 38-7 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. He also rushed once for no yards and lost a fumble.

Tannehill and the Dolphins offense appeared to be completely lost throughout the contest, and the seventh-year quarterback was eventually pulled for Brock Osweiler in the second half once the game was completely out of reach. Tannehill averaged just five yards per attempt and couldn't summon any of the sharp throws he'd managed to make the first three games of the season. The absence of DeVante Parker (quadriceps) naturally didn't help his cause, but Tannehill had put together solid stat lines without him over the first two games. Tannehill will look to put Sunday's forgettable performance behind him against the Bengals in a Week 5 matchup.

Winston (suspension) started the second half of the Buccaneers' 48-10 loss to the Bears on Sunday and completed 16 of 20 passes for 145 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He also rushed once for seven yards.

Winston was inserted to start the third quarter with the Buccaneers already facing a 38-3 deficit and performed reasonably well considering the circumstances. The fourth-year quarterback wasn't expected to make his debut until a Week 6 matchup against the Falcons following the Week 5 bye, but the combination of Ryan Fitzpatrick's ineffectiveness and the lopsided score prompted head coach Dirk Koetter to parlay the undesirable circumstances into a way to ease Winston back into action. Given that it increasingly appears that Fitzpatrick's typically short shelf life as a starter is rapidly approaching its expiration date, it's likely that Winston gets the starting call against Atlanta in two weeks.

Allen completed 16 of 33 passes for 151 yards and two interceptions while rushing five times for 19 yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 22-0 loss at Green Bay.

Allen made an egregious error with his team looking for its first points in the final minute of the first half, throwing an interception in the end zone on an ill-advised wobbler over the middle under pressure. That mistake was a fitting end to a half in which Allen completed just five of 19 passes for 58 yards. He was picked off once more in the second half and failed to get his team on the scoreboard. Tennessee's defense should be a popular add as Allen and the Bills will host the Titans in Week 5.

Mariota completed 30 of 43 passes for 344 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception during Sunday's 26-23 win over the Eagles. He added 46 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.

Mariota did it all on Sunday, accounting for 65.7 percent of the Titans' rushing total all while picking the Eagles apart from the pocket. He was particularly surgical during overtime, converting a fourth-and-15 with a 19-yard strike to Taywan Taylor, a third-and-19 with a 17-yard scramble followed by a 17-yard dump-off to Dion Lewis, and then capping the game off with a 10-yard loft to Corey Davis. In what was his first full game under new offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur, Mariota looked like what the Titans thought they were getting when they drafted him second overall. He gets an inconsistent Bills defense in Week 5.

Trubisky completed 19 of 26 passes for 354 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bears' 48-10 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 53 yards.

It's quite possible the second-year quarterback will one day look back on this jaw-dropping effort as a turning point, as he turned in a completely unexpected performance. Trubisky connected with Tarik Cohen, Taylor Gabriel (twice), Trey Burton, Allen Robinson and Josh Bellamy for scores, racking up five of his six touchdowns in a spectacular first half. After primarily operating in the short- and mid-range passing window for the first three games, Trubisky averaged a whopping 13.6 yards per attempt Sunday, connecting on four passes of more than 20 yards. Trubisky will look to put together some type of reasonable encore when he faces the Dolphins following a Week 5 bye.
