Sam Bradford QB | MIN
Vikings' Sam Bradford: Throws three touchdowns for second straight game
Bradford completed 25 of 33 pass attempts for 250 yards and three touchdowns with an interception in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Bears. He also gained 24 yards on his only carry of the game.
Bradford helped his team race out to a 24-10 lead with three touchdown passes in the first half and coasted off of the running game with the result no longer in doubt. He endured some ups and downs for the Vikings this season, but he was able to finish the season strong with six touchdowns compared to one interception during the final two weeks. With the team likely to see some turnover on the offensive side of the ball this offseason, it remains to be seen what role Bradford will operate in next season during the final year of his contract.

Matt McGloin QB | KC
Raiders' Matt McGloin: Exits game with shoulder injury
McGloin was replaced by Connor Cook in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Broncos after suffering a shoulder injury.
Cook entered the game with the Raiders down by a 17-0 score and the status of McGloin will now be worth tracking closely, with the team's usual starting QB Derek Carr already out indefinitely with a leg injury.

Matt Barkley QB | JAC
Bears' Matt Barkley: Two more interceptions in Week 17 loss
Barkley completed 10 of 14 passes for 125 yards and two interceptions while catching a two-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Vikings. He finished the season with 1,611 yards and eight touchdown passes against 14 interceptions.
Barkley had a pair of strong fantasy performances when the Bears fell behind opponents in two of his first four starts, but after throwing 10 interceptions in the last three games of the season, he seems to have cemented his status as an NFL backup. He'll be a free agent this offseason, and he'll likely end up with a team that will give him a chance to compete for a roster spot.

Dak Prescott QB | DAL
Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Plays sparingly versus Eagles
Prescott completed four of eight passes for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Eagles. He also carried one time for nine yards before exiting the game in the first half.
With the top seed in the NFC already in hand, the Cowboys elected to limit several key regulars while holding others out altogether. Prescott moved the offense adequately during his time, but an extended look for Mark Sanchez and a successful brief cameo from Tony Romo comprised most of the snaps under center. After an excellent regular season, Prescott will now turn his attention to his first career postseason game, which will come during the divisional round.

Tom Savage QB | DET
Texans' Tom Savage: Day cut short by concussion
Savage completed five of eight passes for 25 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans, with his day cut short by a concussion.
Savage, who was initially hurt on the first play of the second quarter of the game, was able to return for the final play of the first half. He was subsequently ruled out for the rest of the day, however, and replaced by Brock Osweiler. Looking ahead, Savage will have some hurdles to clear in the NFL's concussion protocol in order to be a starting option next weekend when the Texans embark on their playoff run.

Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN
Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Officially inactive in Week 17
Tannehill (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 17 tilt versus the Patriots, the team's official site reports.
Tannehill's status was fully expected, as Matt Moore will once again helm the Dolphins' offense in the season finale. Tannehill's potential availability for a postseason game next weekend remains firmly up in the air at this point.

Tyrod Taylor QB | GB
Bills' Tyrod Taylor: Inactive for finale
Taylor (groin, team decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Jets.
This was expected heading into the weekend, and it leaves Taylor's future with the team and its next coaching regime in doubt. The Bills have a major salary decision to make on Taylor this offseason, and couldn't afford to make that process even worse by risking him sustaining a major injury in a meaningless game.
