Tannehill completed 25 of 38 passes for 350 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-10 victory over the Patriots. He also gained 17 yards on three rushes and recovered a fumble.

In what has to be considered one of the unlikeliest outcomes of the 2015 season, the Dolphins thoroughly stymied a Patriots team with plenty of incentive, and the much maligned Tannehill spearheaded the victory. He posted his second consecutive 300-yard performance, and his 9.21 yards per attempt was a season high.The 26-year-old finished the 2015 campaign with six 300-yard games, and has progressively increased his passing yards through his first four seasons. He also threw a career-low 12 interceptions in 2015, but did suffer a career-high eight fumbles. While there are currently whispers that the team is willing to part ways with the fourth-year quarterback if the incoming head coach were to want to clean house at the position, Tannehill's 4,208 passing yards and 24:12 TD:INT ratio wouldn't be readily replaced by any free agent or 2016 draft choice.

Stafford connected on 28 of 39 of his attempts for 298 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's win over Chicago. He added 10 yards on the ground.

Less than two months ago, the Lions were heading into their bye with a 1-7 record and the future of Stafford was in doubt. The Lions finished the season's second half with a 6-2 record and a three-game winning streak, and Stafford looks like he's back on track. During the season's final eight games, Stafford completed just shy of 70 percent of his passes and boasted a 19-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He averaged 272 yards per game during the span. Given Calvin Johnson's enormous contract, change may be coming one way or the other in Detroit, but if head coach Jim Caldwell and offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter are permitted to stay, Stafford may be in line for a big 2016.

Gabbert completed 28 of 44 passes for a career-high 354 yards, with one touchdown and an interception, in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win against the Rams.

Gabbert had one of the most productive outings of his career, and set up the game-winning field goal in overtime by connecting with Quinton Patton on a 33-yard pass. While he generally didn't put up big numbers after taking over for an ineffective and injured Colin Kaepernick (shoulder) in Week 9, Gabbert certainly didn't embarrass himself, showing enough to possibly get him a starting job somewhere else, if not in San Francisco. With that said, he's probably projects as a poor man's Alex Smith (both QBs are more athletic than you think), and that's not really a great thing. In any case, he finishes the season with a 10:7 TD:INT ratio in eight games.

Keenum completed 22 of 37 passes for 231 yards with no touchdowns in Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss at San Francisco.

Keenum was serviceable in the five starts he made during the second half of the season, although he wasn't really asked to do much, completing more than 14 passes just once. Nick Foles is clearly not the answer at QB for the Rams, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Keenum is the solution either. Thus, it will be interesting to see what the team does in the offseason, but in all likelihood, they'll either acquire or draft another QB.

Bradford completed 30 of 38 passes for 320 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's win over the Giants.

The 28-year-old was excellent Sunday, connecting with eight different receivers en route to posting an impressive completion percentage of 79. It was a turbulent season in Philadelphia to say the least, but Bradford finished the season strong, throwing for 1,061 yards in the final three games. A number of changes are expected in Philly this offseason, and Bradford's erratic year combined with impending free agency could have him in another uniform next season.

Carr completed 21 of 33 passes for 194 yards with a touchdown and interception in Sunday's 23-17 loss at Kansas City. He also ran two times for 12 yards.

Carr had an uneven performance against the Chiefs in Week 13, completing 31 of 48 passes for 283 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, and wasn't productive Sunday, until he threw a late fourth-quarter score to Michael Crabtree. The Raiders got the ball back in the final two minutes with a chance to win the game, but Carr was unable to lead them down the field. Although he came up a little short of Daryle Lamonica's 46-year old franchise record of 34 touchdown passes, Carr still had a very productive sophomore campaign, finishing with over 4,000 yards and 32 TDs, while tossing just 13 interceptions. With rookie Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, who recently signed a long-term deal, in the fold, it wouldn't be surprising to see Carr take another step in 2016.

Wilson completed 19 of 28 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 36-6 win at Arizona.

In a tougher matchup than last week against St. Louis, Wilson was fantastic, tossing three touchdown passes in the first half. The stud QB didn't need to do much in the second half, and was pulled in the fourth quarter with the game out of hand. He's thrown multiple touchdowns in seven straight games, after achieving the feat just once over Seattle's first nine contests. With his big game Sunday, he set a season franchise record in passing yards and touchdowns at 4,024 and 34, respectively. He'll head into the playoffs with serious momentum, but it will be interesting to see the dynamic of the team's offense when Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) returns, which could be as early as their wild card game next weekend.

Hoyer completed 25 of 40 passes for 249 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's win over the Jaguars.

The veteran returned from a two-game absence due to lingering concussion symptoms, and Houston made his job a bit easier by leaning on the defense and ground game in the division-clinching win. Hoyer showed the ability to effectively lead the offense when healthy this season, and Sunday's return bodes well for his the franchise's upcoming return to the playoffs. It is unclear whether the Texans plan to roll with Hoyer into next season, but his play in the postseason could go a long way in determining that.

Taylor (shoulder) completed 18 of 28 passes for 182 yards and rushed 10 times for 51 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.

Taylor connected with only four receivers, with wideout Sammy Watkins dominating the targets and catching 11 passes for 136 yards, while Greg Salas was the only other player to register more than four receiving yards. Taylor finishes the season with 3,035 passing yards and 20 touchdowns plus 568 rushing yards and four scores on the ground in 14 games, his first full season as a starter. Taylor will be a free agent after next season, and he could be in line for a new contract this offseason after his fine play this year, though the Bills have a little salary cap maneuvering before that can be completed.

Cousins completed 12 of 15 passes for 176 yards and three touchdowns Sunday in Dallas before handing the reins to backup Colt McCoy.

Cousins and the Redskins didn't have much to play for after securing a playoff spot last week, but they managed to build momentum heading into the postseason by thumping the Cowboys in Dallas. He was carving up the opposing secondary before leaving in the second quarter with the game already out of reach. The fourth-year quarterback really came alive late in the season, with 11 of his 29 touchdown passes coming in the final three weeks.
