Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns in Cincinnati's loss to Pittsburgh in Week 14. Dalton also ran four times for 22 yards and a touchdown. 

His touchdown run came on a read option where Dalton kept and strolled into the endzone for the score. Dalton also connected with wide receiver A.J. Green for an 80-yard touchdown. 

Dalton briefly left the game in the fourth quarter when he was hit in the ribs after a pass, but he missed just one play. Dalton was taken out at the end of the game as a precautionary measure. 

The Bengals will face the Browns in Week 15.

Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater produced a solid performance to help lead the Vikings to a 30-24 victory against the Jets Week 14.

Bridgewater completed 19 of his 27 pass attempts for 309 yards and two touchdowns. It was the second time this season Bridgewater was able to surpass more than 300 passing yards in a game. Bridgewater’s two touchdown passes were from 56 and 87 yards. He has now thrown multiple touchdown passes in three consecutive games.

Bridgewater did throw an interception and added 7 rushing yards on three attempts.

The Vikings travel to Detroit Week 15.

Mike Pettine declined to name a starting quarterback for the Week 15 game against Cincinnati after a terrible performance by Brian Hoyer on Sunday in a huge loss by the Browns to Indianapolis.

"I'm not speaking on the quarterback situation at this point," he told the media after the defeat.

It would appear quite possible, however, that Johnny Manziel will be under center with the Bengals in town.

Brian Hoyer remained the Browns starting quarterback heading into the Sunday game against Indianapolis. It appears likely that he will be the backup when the last-place team hosts Cincinnati in Week 15.

Hoyer performed miserably again in a winnable, must-win battle. He finished 14 of 31 for 140 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He was particularly bad in the second half, completing 6 of 14 for just 41 yards and a pick. He threw often off his back foot and twice overthrew wide open receivers deep.

It's highly unlikely the Browns will attempt to sign Hoyer, who is slated for free agency after this season. He has no touchdowns and seven interceptions in the last three games combined.

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 23 of his 33 pass attempts for 227 yards during a 28-13 loss to the Ravens Sunday.

Tannehill’s lone touchdown came on a 3-yard pass to wide receiver Brian Hartline. The 227 passing yards helped Tannehill surpass 10,000 passing yards for his career. He also added 6 rushing yards on two attempts. Tannehill has not thrown for more than 300 yards in any game this season.

The Dolphins play at New England Week 15.

Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy had a rough game Week 14 against the Rams.

McCoy completed 20 of 32 passes for 199 yards. He did not throw any touchdowns, but did toss two interceptions. McCoy was under pressure all game, taking six sacks. He did manage to lead the team in rushing, gaining just 11 yards on the ground. Things got so bad that the fans started chanting for Robert Griffin III in the third quarter. They eventually got their wish, as McCoy was replaced on the last drive of the game. He left due to a neck injury.

If McCoy remains the starter, he'll take on the Giants Week 15. 

Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy left Week 14 against the Rams with a neck strain and his return is questionable. Robert Griffin III came in to replace McCoy. 

McCoy went 20 for 32 for 199 yards in the game. 

The 49ers have listed QB Josh Johnson, S Bubba Ventrone , CB Tramaine Brock, OL Anthony Davis, WR Brandon Lloyd, TE Vance McDonald and DL Glenn Dorsey as inactive Week 14 against the Raiders. 

Both Dorsey and McDonald had been ruled out prior to Sunday. Brock and Ventrone came into the contest listed as questionable. Ventrone has a groin injury. Brock has a hamstring issue. Lloyd was probable due to a quad injury, but will not play.

The Raiders have listed QB Matt McGloin, WR Denarius Moore, CB Neiko Thorpe, OL Tony Bergstrom, OL Menelik Watson, TE Brian Leonhardt and DT Stacy McGee as inactive Week 14 against the 49ers. 

Leonhardt was the only player ruled out prior to Sunday. Thorpe came into the game listed as questionable. He's dealing with a hand injury. The other five players listed as healthy scratches. 

Texans quarterback Thad Lewis, wide receiver DeVier Posey, cornerback Andre Hal, safety Josh Aubrey, offensive tackle Jeff Adams, tight end Garrett Graham and linebacker Jadeveon Clowney were ruled inactive Week 14 at Jacksonville.
