  • Trevor Siemian QB | ATL

    Broncos' Trevor Siemian: Struggles in home loss

    Siemian completed 25 of 40 passes for 282 yards with no touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Patriots.

    Siemian failed to lead the Broncos to any touchdowns, and his first-half interception was costly, coming in the red zone. A week after tossing 334 yards against Tennessee, Siemian took a step back, at least from a statistical standpoint. He'll try to get back on track next week at Kansas City.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Titans' Marcus Mariota: Second consecutive game without TD

    Mariota completed 19 of 33 passes for 241 yards and an interception in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chiefs.

    Mariota struggled for the second straight game, once again failing to throw a touchdown pass. He also failed to make his presence known as a runner, which was unusual for a quarterback who had reached double-digit rushing yards in 12 of 13 games coming in. Mariota has certainly made strides as a passer in his sophomore season, but his recent slump makes him tough to trust down the stretch.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Throws just one TD in win

    Carr completed 19 of 30 passes for 213 yards with one touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Chargers.

    Carr rebounded slightly from last week's dud but still missed some throws. He also had to deal with a couple of drops. Once again, he had trouble connecting with Amari Cooper, who caught just one of three targets for 28 yards while likely playing at less than 100 percent physically. The young QB will face the Colts next week at home.

  • Lions' Matthew Stafford: Throws pick against Giants

    Stafford completed 24 of 39 passes for 273 yards and an interception during Sunday's loss to the Giants.

    Detroit's five-game winning streak ended Sunday, as Stafford and the Lions offense failed to find the end zone. Stafford was intercepted in the fourth quarter for his eighth pick of the year and now has thrown three interceptions to one touchdown in the last two games. He has torn ligaments in his middle finger, although it's unclear if that was the reason behind his poor play. Stafford will look to get back on track against the Cowboys next Monday night.

  • Sam Bradford QB | MIN

    Vikings' Sam Bradford: No touchdowns against Colts

    Bradford completed 32 of 42 yards for 291 yards and an interception Sunday against the Colts. He also lost a fumble in the 34-6 loss.

    Bradford didn't benefit from pass-heavy play-calling after the Vikings got down 27-0 at the half. The 29-year-old quarterback has only thrown multiple touchdown passes in three games this season for an inept Minnesota offense.

  • Matt Barkley QB | JAC

    Bears' Matt Barkley: Fires two touchdown passes in Sunday loss

    Barkley completed 30 of 43 passes for 362 yards and two touchdowns while being intercepted three times in Sunday's loss to the Packers.

    Barkley did the majority of his damage after the Bears fell behind 27-10 in the fourth quarter, as he engineered a few long drives down the field to pile up the passing yardage. When the game was in question, the three interceptions he threw were among the primary reasons the team found itself in such a large hole. This was the first time in three games that he threw for multiple touchdowns, and both of his big performances came in games in which the Bears trailed by double digits. He'll remain a risky fantasy option when he faces Washington next week.

  • Andy Dalton QB | PHI

    Bengals' Andy Dalton: Tallies one-yard touchdown run Sunday

    Dalton completed 16 of 27 passes for 157 yards and one interception during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Steelers. He also tacked on a one-yard touchdown run.

    Entering the weekend on the heels of back-to-back victories, the Bengals were poised to play spoiler to the Steelers' postseason hopes. Indeed, Dalton led four consecutive scoring drives to begin the game, including his own one-yard scoring plunge as the clock hit zero at the end of the first quarter. In total, the four possessions pushed the deficit to 20-6 with 2:51 remaining before halftime, but Ben Roethlisberger directed another field-goal drive to cut the lead to 11 by the mid-game break. The Steelers continued to chip away with a trio of field goals, while Dalton and company responded with no points and 28 yards of offense on three ensuing drives. With the defeat, Cincinnati has officially missed the playoffs for the first time in Dalton's career, but he'll look to go out on a high note with matchups at Houston and against the Ravens remaining on the ledger.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | GB

    Bills' Tyrod Taylor: Throws touchdown against Browns

    Taylor completed 17 of 24 passes for 174 yards and a score in Sunday's victory over the Browns. He also ran the ball seven times for 49 yards.

    Heading into Sunday's game, there was some talk about whether or not Taylor would remain the Bills' starting quarterback, but that turned out to be just speculation, as the 27-year-old was under center against the Browns. Taylor didn't do much shredding of the weak Cleveland defense, but he connected with Charles Clay for a 19-yard score and did enough to secure a victory. He took care of the ball, and for just the second time in the last six weeks, he finished without an interception.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Held without touchdown in Chicago

    Rodgers completed 19 of 31 passes for 252 yards without a touchdown or turnover Sunday in Chicago. He added three carries for 19 yards in the 30-27 victory.

    Rodgers let the running game do most of the work, as he went without a touchdown pass for the first time this season. This poor performance snapped an eight-game multi-touchdown streak. While he's still among the top options at the quarterback position, Rodgers has underwhelmed with just four 300-yard games in 2016.

  • Tom Savage QB | DET

    Texans' Tom Savage: Leads Texans to comeback victory off bench

    Savage replaced starting quarterback Brock Osweiler midway through the second quarter, and led the Texans to a comeback win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He completed 23 of 36 passes for 260 yards along the way.

    The Pittsburgh product was efficient off the bench while managing the team to victory. Osweiler threw an interception on two of the team's first four drives, while the other two possessions ended with punts. Thus, the Texans were looking to to spark their offense, and Savage came through in his first action of the season. It is unclear what the team will opt to do under center going forward, but given Osweiler's offseason contract, the team will presumably stick with him for the time being. However, Savage has now proven himself capable of running the offense, so Osweiler could have a shorter leash in the future.
