Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford endured another lackluster performance on Sunday, completing a career-low 39.1 percent of his pass attempts in a 34-9 defeat to New England in Week 12.

Stafford was held out of the end zone for the second straight game and was picked off once by Logan Ryan late in the game. Stafford was unable to convert a 4th-and-10 play early in the fourth quarter, sliding feet-first for a gain of 9 yards to force a turnover on downs. Stafford compiled 264 yards through the air while completing 18 of 46 pass attempts. He was sacked twice, picked off once and finished with a 49.5 passer rating.

He'll look to bounce back on short rest against the Bears on Thanksgiving.

Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater tossed two touchdowns Week 12 against the Packers.

Bridgewater completed 21 of 37 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns. He also tossed one interception and was sacked twice. Bridgewater was aggressive during the game, averaging just 5.7 yards per completion. His first touchdown came in the second quarter. With his team down a score, Bridgewater found Charles Johnson on a 22 yard strike. Bridgewater would attempt to bring his team back again in the fourth quarter, throwing a 5 yard touchdown to bring the game within three. The team did not get the ball back, as the Packers run out the clock. Bridgewater also had 32 rushing yards.

Bridgewater will look for more Week 13 against the Panthers. 

Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer overcame a season-high three interceptions Sunday at Atlanta to lead Cleveland to a 26-24 win. Hoyer completed 23 of 40 passes for 322 yards, while rushing for 12 yards on three carries. 

The Falcons went ahead 24-23 with 44 seconds left after Atlanta turned Hoyer's third interception into a Matt Bryant 53-yard field goal. However, Hoyer was able to bounce back and lead Cleveland on a seven-play, 61-yard drive, which led to Billy Cundiff's  game-winning, 37-yard field goal as time expired.

Sunday was the third time this season Hoyer has not thrown a touchdown. He has thrown multiple interceptions twice. The Browns are back in action Week 13 at Buffalo.

Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton threw one touchdown and one interception during a 22-13 win Week 12 at Houston. Dalton completed 24 of 35 passes for 233 yards, while rushing for 6 yards on seven carries.

Dalton's lone touchdown pass came on the team's second offensive drive -- a 6-yard completion to wide receiver Mohamed Sanu. Dalton's favorite target on the afternoon was star receiver A.J. Green, who caught a career-high 12 passes for 121 yards.

Dalton has had more games this season with one or no passing touchdowns (seven) than he has had multiple passing touchdowns (four). The Bengals are back in action Week 13 at Tampa Bay.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers tossed two touchdowns Week 12 against the Vikings.

It was just an average game for the superstar quarterback. Rodgers completed 19 of 29 passes for 209 yards and two scores. He was effecient when throwing, averaging a strong 7.2 yards per completion. Rodgers did not turn the ball over during the contest. Both of Rodgers touchdowns came from within the 10 yard line. The first was actually from a yard out. Rodgers faked a handoff, and found tight end Richard Rodgers wide open in the corner of the end zone. On his second touchdown, Rodgers found Eddie Lacy from 10 yards out. Rodgers also had 34 rushing yards.

Rodgers will look for more Week 13 against the Patriots.
