McKee completed 26 of 45 passes for 215 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding one carry for no gain in the Eagles' 25-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

McKee's completion total was impressive, but he averaged a modest 4.8 yards per attempt on the afternoon despite having DeVonta Smith back from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. McKee's longest completion of the day went for 19 yards to Smith on a fourth-quarter scoring strike, which brought Philadelphia to within five at the time. McKee ultimately wasn't able to complete the comeback in the first installment of what figures to be an extended starting assignment in place of Jalen Hurts (IR, calf), and he'll look to be more aggressive during a Week 7 home divisional clash with the Cowboys next Monday night.

Young completed 20 of 39 passes for 281 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added three rushes for six yards in the Panthers' 25-14 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Young's pair of scoring tosses went to Tommy Tremble from 12 and 19 yards out in the second and fourth quarter, respectively. The 2023 first overall pick's multi-touchdown effort was his fourth of the season, and Young hasn't thrown for fewer than Sunday's total in any of his five games while also generating a stellar 11:2 TD:INT. Young and the Panthers next take aim at the Buccaneers defense when Tampa Bay pays a visit for a Week 7 divisional showdown on Sunday.

Penix completed 19 of 33 passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions while rushing once for one yard in the Falcons' 31-23 loss to the Bears on Sunday. He also threw two two-point conversion passes.

Penix and the Falcons faced a 28-7 deficit going into the fourth quarter, but he helped bring Atlanta back with 10- and five-yard scoring tosses to Kyle Pitts and subsequent two-point conversion passes to Zachariah Branch and Drake London, respectively. Penix also connected with Jahan Dotson for 13-yard scoring strike in the latter portion of the second quarter, and Sunday's game served as Penix's first multi-TD-pass effort of the season. The third-year signal-caller had also visited the medical tent in the first quarter for an undisclosed issue, but Penix appears to be healthy heading into a Week 7 home showdown against the 49ers on Sunday.

Smith completed 20 of 30 passes for 252 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding two rushes for minus-1 yard in the Jets' 26-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Smith took three sacks while trying to play catch-up all afternoon, and in that context, his final numbers were all the more impressive. The veteran signal-caller helped the Jets claw back from a 17-3 halftime deficit to get within four entering the fourth quarter, but his interception at the Patriots' 24-yard line early in the period snuffed out a potential scoring opportunity. Smith has certainly given New York some much-needed veteran stability at the quarterback position and displayed encouraging chemistry with returning rookie Omar Cooper (6-103-1) on Sunday, so there's reason for optimism heading into a favorable Week 7 home matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Huntley completed 19 of 31 passes for 165 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added five rushes for 28 yards in the Ravens' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Huntley drew a second straight start with Lamar Jackson (ankle) unavailable, but the former couldn't carry over some early-game momentum into the second half. All 10 of Baltimore's points came in the first quarter, with Huntley contributing in the form of a two-yard touchdown pass to Josh Cuevas. Huntley ultimately connected with six different targets overall, but all Ravens pass catchers except for Zay Flowers had 44 receiving yards or less. Despite the underwhelming performance, if Jackson remains sidelined for a Week 7 divisional clash with the Bengals, Huntley will be in line for a second straight start.

Watson completed 16 of 26 passes for 164 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added eight carries for 29 yards in the Browns' 13-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

As Watson's numbers suggest, he didn't do anything of particular note as either a passer or runner, but the veteran signal-caller did avoid turnovers despite taking five sacks. That alone helped keep Cleveland in a game in which the Browns faced a 10-0 halftime deficit, and he was then able to lead fourth-quarter touchdown and field-goal drives that completed the comeback. Watson has surprisingly helped the Browns to a 4-2 record, and he's provided a solid 7:2 TD:INT and 196 rushing yards along the way. He'll look to carry over the momentum into a Week 7 road clash with the Titans on Sunday.

Allen completed 23 of 33 passes for 255 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed five times for one yard in the Bills' 33-30 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Allen once again operated without DJ Moore (shoulder), although he did have another deep threat in Joshua Palmer back from his own shoulder issue. The one-time MVP signal-caller spread the ball around to eight different targets, and Allen ultimately lost Dalton Kincaid to a rib injury in the second half as well. Allen's passing numbers haven't been particularly impressive since a 334-yard showing against the Texans back in Week 1 as first-year head coach Joe Brady runs a balanced attack, but the prolific quarterback still has 1,504 passing yards with a 9:4 TD:INT and another 240 rushing yards and eight additional scores going into a Week 8 home showdown with the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 1, following a Week 7 bye.

Williams completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding four rushes for three yards in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Making his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Williams opened the game looking like he hadn't missed a beat. The 2024 first overall pick completed his first 12 passes and didn't misfire much after that point while connecting with eight different targets overall. Williams hit Colston Loveland for his one touchdown pass and just narrowly missed a second scoring connection with the second-year tight end during a prolific afternoon overall. Williams looks back to full health and will get a quick opportunity to build on Sunday's stellar numbers in a Week 7 home matchup against the Patriots next Sunday.

Maye completed 18 of 32 passes for 235 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for 24 yards in the Patriots' 26-19 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Maye got A.J. Brown back from a four-game stint on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, but he lost Romeo Doubs to a shoulder injury on a 42-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. That TD was the first of the third-year signal-caller's trio of scoring tosses on the afternoon. Maye connected with DeMario Douglas (nine yards) and Hunter Henry (seven yards) for his other TD strikes, and although he and Brown managed to connect on only three of 10 targets, it was just the second game together for the duo. Maye and the Patriots are right back in action Thursday night for a Week 7 road showdown against the Bears.

Prescott completed 34 of 54 passes for 258 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Packers. He also rushed twice for seven yards.

Prescott threw for just 86 yards with two interceptions in the first half, and the Cowboys took a 17-0 deficit into the locker room. He was only moderately more effective in the second half as Dallas looked out of sorts offensively for a second consecutive game in primetime. Prescott's lone touchdown pass was a six-yarder to Ryan Flournoy in the final minute of the fourth quarter. Dallas dropped to 2-4 with Sunday night's loss, and Dak has an ugly 4:4 TD:INT over his last four starts after posting a 6:1 mark through Week 2. Prescott will try to snap a two-game losing streak in Week 7 on MNF against the Eagles, who have dropped four straight.
