  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Leads comfortable victory over Panthers

    Wilson completed 26 of 36 passes for 277 yards and one touchdown with an interceptions during Sunday's game against the Panthers. He added 29 yards on three carries in the 40-7 win.

    Wilson didn't shoulder a heavy burden thanks to a dominant showing in the running game for Seattle, and he did not find the end zone through the air until he hooked up with Jimmy Graham for a one-yard score in the fourth quarter. He bounced back from a dismal performance in Week 12 and managed his fourth-highest total of passing yards of the season. Wilson looked spry while moving in and around the pocket en route to his second-best rushing performance of the year. He should benefit from an improved rushing attack, and he will look to exploit a beatable Packers defensive unit next week.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Throws winning touchdown in pivotal Week 13 victory

    Winston completed 20 of 30 passes for 280 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chargers. He also gained a yard on four rushes.

    Winston continues to get it done despite his receiving corps being reduced to fourth- and fifth-string wideouts outside of Mike Evans at this point. The second-year signal caller saw Cecil Shorts exit in the first quarter with a potentially devastating knee injury and later also suffered the loss of third receiver Adam Humphries to a possible concussion. However, Winston pressed on, finding fifth-string receiver Freddie Martino on four occasions, while also honing in on tight end Cameron Brate when Mike Evans struggled to gain separation in the second half. In fact, it was Brate who hauled in Winston's 12-yard scoring dart early in the fourth quarter, a touchdown that eventually proved to be the game winner. Winston has now completed over 60 percent of his passes in five straight games, and his 9.33 YPA Sunday was his second-highest figure in that category this season. He could be in for another busy day in Week 14, as the Bucs continue their playoff push in a home tilt against the Saints that could well prove to be a high-scoring affair.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | LV

    Redskins' Kirk Cousins: Tosses late interception

    Cousins completed 21 of 37 passes for 271 yards with one touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 31-23 loss at Arizona. He also scored a short touchdown in the second half.

    Cousins did little in the first half, passing for just 89 yards, but immediately opened the third quarter with a 59-yard bomb to DeSean Jackson. A few plays later, Cousins ended up scoring from one yard out. He later threw a pretty 26-yard touchdown pass to Jamison Crowder. With Washington trailing by eight points in the final two minutes of regulation, Cousins nearly led them to a game-tying score but threw an interception deep in Cardinals' territory to end the rally. Next up for Cousins is a road game at Philadelphia.

  • Andy Dalton QB | ATL

    Bengals' Andy Dalton: Two touchdowns in win over Eagles

    Dalton completed 23 of 31 passes for 332 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-14 win against the Eagles. He added nine yards on two rushes.

    Dalton completed an impressive 74 percent of his passes at 10.7 yards per attempt while connecting with Tyler Eifert and Brandon LaFell for a pair of red zone scores. It was the Red Rifle's second game of the season with over 300 passing yards and touchdowns with no interceptions, and he seems to be coping without A.J. Green (hamstring) or Gio Bernard (knee) at his disposal. Dalton's terrific performance helped end a four-game winless streak for the Bengals, who will look to build off this performance against the hapless Browns next week.

  • Paxton Lynch QB | PIT

    Broncos' Paxton Lynch: Mediocre in win

    Lynch completed 12 of 24 passes for 104 yards and rushed for 11 yards in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

    Lynch's return to his home state was full of missed opportunities. He misfired on at least one deep ball each to Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders and just barely failed to connect with Virgil Green on a scramble drill. One can chalk these misses up to poor chemistry with the starters, growing pains by the rookie, or a solid Jacksonville defense, but it is clear that there is no quarterback controversy in Denver and that Trevor Siemian (foot) can't return to the lineup soon enough.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Rams' Jared Goff: Throws for 161 yards in third start

    Goff completed 14 of 32 passes for 161 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Patriots.

    One week after finding some success against a terrible Saints secondary, Goff was unable to get anything going against a more respectable Patriots unit. He has topped 200 yards only once in his first three starts and would've been held without a score in two of the three if it wasn't for a garbage-time touchdown pass to Kenny Britt. Goff will be tough to trust next week despite a plus matchup with the subpar Falcons defense.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | GB

    Bills' Tyrod Taylor: Cools off in second half

    Taylor completed 18 of 35 passes for 190 yards, with no touchdowns, an interception and fumble lost in Sunday's 38-24 loss at Oakland. He carried the ball three times for 30 yards and a touchdown.

    Taylor started the game completing nine of 10 passes, but cooled off at the end of the first half and into the second half, when he had both of his turnovers. He salvaged his fantasy game with a third-quarter touchdown run. He'll look to get back on track next week at home against the Steelers.

  • 49ers' Blaine Gabbert: Unimpressive after replacing Kaepernick

    Gabbert completed four of 10 passes for 35 yards and rushed once for one yard while playing the fourth quarter of Sunday's 26-6 loss to the Bears.

    Gabbert replaced a struggling Colin Kaepernick, who managed just 4 passing yards through three quarters. While he outplayed the speedier alternative in his brief time under center, Gabbert's 5:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio as the starter for the first five weeks suggests he didn't do enough here to reclaim the job.

  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Throws pair of TDs

    Carr (right finger) completed 19 of 35 pass attempts for 260 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Bills.

    Carr struggled a bit in the first half but turned it on in the second half, tossing a short touchdown to Michael Crabtree in the third quarter and a 37-yard score to Amari Cooper in the final period. The touchdown to Cooper gave the Raiders their first lead of the game. The young QB should have had a touchdown in second quarter, but Crabtree dropped a wide-open pass in the end zone. There were actually several drops throughout the game that hurt Carr's overall numbers. The finger injury he suffered last week did not appear to be a factor, although he operated exclusively out of the shotgun. Next week, he'll face the Chiefs on the road.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Throws for two touchdowns against Texans

    Rodgers (hamstring) completed 20 of 30 throws for 209 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's game against the Texans. He added 16 yards on three carries.

    Rodgers' stat line is nothing flashy, but his effort was enough to lift the Packers to victory in a game played on a snow-covered Lambeau Field. His first touchdown was the result of him escaping the pocket and finding Randall Cobb cutting across the end zone, and his second was a 32-yard strike to a wide-open Jordy Nelson. Rodgers did look uncomfortable with his injured hamstring at times, but the Packers' offensive line did a good job of keeping him in the pocket by reducing pressure, allowing only one sack on the day. He may be rested some in practice this week in order to avoid worsening his hamstring, but Rodgers should be set to go against Richard Sherman and the Seahawks in Week 14.
