  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Tosses three TDs in Week 18 loss

    Burrow completed 29 of 39 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns. He added 17 rushing yards on two carries.

    The star quarterback hit all his biggest targets -- Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown -- for scores, but Evan McPherson had a rough day, getting one PAT blocked and missing his second before the Bengals failed to convert a two-point attempt on their final TD. Burrow wraps up a tough 2025 season with a 17:5 TD:INT in only eight games, the second time in the last three years he's missed significant time due to injuries.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | ATL

    Falcons' Kirk Cousins: Serviceable finish to season

    Cousins completed 18 of 32 passes for 180 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding three carries for no gain in the Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Cousins, who was dealing with an illness that came on overnight, averaged a modest 5.6 yards per attempt and took four sacks, so it wasn't the smoothest of afternoons for the veteran signal-caller. However, Cousins was able to fire a 15-yard touchdown pass to Drake London late in the first quarter, and he displayed his usual chemistry with both his No. 1 receiver and tight end Kyle Pitts. Cousins opened the season with a bleak fantasy outlook and uncertain future as the No. 2 quarterback behind Michael Penix (IR, knee), but the former started the final seven games (and eight overall). Cousins completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 1,721 yards with a 10:5 TD:INT while adding 14 rushes for seven yards and another score across 10 appearances overall. Penix should have a solid chance of being ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, while Cousins remains under contract with the Falcons through the 2027 campaign.

  • Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Quiet in Week 18 win

    Sanders completed 11 of 22 passes for 111 yards without a touchdown or an interception in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals. He also lost a fumble.

    The Browns did score two touchdowns in the win, but neither had anything to do with Sanders and the offense -- Devin Bush had a 97-yard INT return in the first quarter, and Sam Webb took a fumble 47 yards to the house in the second. Sanders, a fifth-round rookie, wraps up his first NFL season having completed just 56.6 percent (120-for-212) of his passes with a 7:10 TD:INT in eight games, and he likely hasn't done enough to convince Cleveland not to look for an upgrade at quarterback in the offseason.

  • Tyler Shough QB | NO

    Saints' Tyler Shough: Strong finish to rookie campaign

    Shough completed 23 of 35 passes for 259 yards with one touchdown and one interception while rushing three times for 34 yards and another score in the Saints' 19-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    Shough was able to head into the offseason with yet another encouraging outing, capping off a second half of the season in which the 2025 second-round pick cemented himself as the Saints' starter heading into 2026. Shough opened New Orleans' scoring with a one-yard run late in the second quarter, and he went on to add a 16-yard scoring toss with just over a minute remaining that featured a nifty one-handed catch from Ronnie Bell. Shough finished his rookie season having completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 2,384 yards and a 10:6 TD:INT while adding a 45-186-3 rushing line across 11 games.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Throws for 4,552 yards in 2025

    Prescott completed seven of 11 passes for 70 yards and rushed twice for minus-1 yard, in addition to losing a fumble, in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants. He finishes the 2025 season with 4,552 passing yards and a 30:10 TD:INT.

    Prescott came into the regular-season finale with the most passing yards, completions and pass attempts in the NFL. With the Cowboys eliminated from playoff contention, he didn't add much to those totals before being replaced by backup Joe Milton at halftime. Prescott is set to carry a cap hit slightly north of $74 million in 2026, but the Cowboys have little choice but to stick with the 32-year-old quarterback despite the team's lack of playoff success.

  • Max Brosmer QB | MIN

    Vikings' Max Brosmer: Wraps up regular-season finale

    Brosmer completed seven of eight passes for 57 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers. He did lose a fumble.

    J.J. McCarthy (hand) left the game in the third quarter and didn't return, putting Brosmer under center to finish out the season for the Vikings. The undrafted rookie appeared in eight games overall as McCarthy battled injuries, and Brosmer wound up completing 66.2 percent of his passes (47-for-71) for 328 yards, albeit with zero TDs and five turnovers -- four INTs and Sunday's lost fumble. Minnesota still seems committed to McCarthy as its QB of the future, but given his inability to stay healthy, the team may look to bring in a more established backup in the offseason rather than relying on Brosmer to fill that role in 2026.

  • Jaxson Dart QB | NYG

    Giants' Jaxson Dart: Tosses two TDs in Week 18 win

    Dart completed 22 of 32 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns while rushing five times for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He finishes his rookie season with 2,272 passing yards and a 15:5 TD:INT, as well as 487 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns in 14 games (12 starts).

    Dart showed plenty of promise in his rookie campaign, thriving as a runner and making many impressive throws despite working with an injury-riddled supporting cast. He threw touchdown passes of 29 yards to Daniel Bellinger and 13 yards to Tyrone Tracy as the Giants notched their fourth and final win of the 2025 regular season. The Giants will have an early pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but they are unlikely to draft a quarterback, so Dart's expected to head into his sophomore season as the team's starter under center.

  • Clayton Tune QB | GB

    Packers' Clayton Tune: Limited in regular-season finale

    Tune completed six of 11 passes for 34 yards without a touchdowns or an interception in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings. He added 23 rushing yards on four carries.

    With Jordan Love and Malik Willis (shoulder/hamstring) being held out ahead of the playoffs, Tune made his second career NFL start but wasn't called upon to do too much, as the Packers focused on their ground game. Tune, a fifth-round pick of the Cardinals in 2023, will likely return to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart in the wild-card round next weekend.

  • Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Leads Jags to division crown

    Lawrence completed 22 of 30 passes for 255 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Titans. He added two rushes for 11 yards.

    Lawrence helped the Jaguars clinch the AFC South with minimal drama, leading three touchdown drives in the first half. He completed each with a throwing score, coming from 23, seven and five yards, respectively, before being pulled with around 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. While the Titans were a particularly soft matchup, Lawrence has finished the regular season in strong form while accounting for multiple touchdowns in seven consecutive games. He'll now turn his attention to the postseason, with the Jaguars guaranteed a top-three seed in the AFC.

  • Cam Ward QB | TEN

    Titans' Cam Ward: Sling on right shoulder

    Ward was spotted with a sling for his right shoulder during the Titans' 41-7 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Ward injured his right shoulder in the first quarter after diving into the end zone for a seven-yard rushing touchdown. After being ruled out for the rest of the game by medical staff, Ward returned to the sidelines without his pads , and a sling on his right shoulder. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but he will have plenty of time to recover before the start of the 2026 campaign. Ward will end his rookie season having completed 59.8 percent of his passes for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions while adding 39 carries for 159 yards and two scores across 17 games.
