Making his second start of the season, Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy threw three touchdowns in a 49-27 loss to the Colts Week 13.

McCoy completed 31 of his 47 pass attempts for 392 yards and did not throw an interception. It was McCoy’s first 300 yard passing game since 2011 and second of his career. McCoy’s three touchdown passes were to Roy Helu, Logan Paulsen and DeSean Jackson.

Browns coach Mike Pettine has announced that he will take his time to decide who is his starting quarterback moving forward.

"We're not going to overreact," he told the media after pulling starter Brian Hoyer in favor of Johnny Manziel in the fourth quarter of a loss to Buffalo on Sunday. "We'll look at the tape and make a decision. I'm not going to put it all on Brian. ... It's a body-of-work decision."

Pettine also told ESPN that "the door is definitely open" for Manziel to wrest the job away.

The Browns host Indianapolis in Week 14.

Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had one of his best games of the season Sunday against Carolina.

Bridgewater threw two touchdown passes and completed 15 of his 21 pass attempts for 138 yards to help lead the Vikings to a 31-13 win. It was Bridgewater’s first game throwing multiple touchdown passes without throwing an interception. He also added 12 rushing yards on two attempts.

Quarterback Brian Hoyer has started every game for the Browns this season. He might be holding the clipboard when the team hosts Indianapolis next Sunday.

Hoyer collapsed after a strong start in which he completed 7 of 8 for 79 yards. He hit on 11 of 22 for 113 yards and two interceptions thereafter and was replaced by ballyhooed rookie Johnny Manziel in the fourth quarter.

The former was not solely to blame. Receiver Josh Gordon failed to complete a route that caused one interception. But a horrific pass early in the fourth quarter resulted in his fifth pick in the last two games, during which he threw for no touchdowns. The Browns managed just eight yards of total offense in the third quarter, greatle due to his inaccuracy.

It remains to be seen if Hoyer maintains his starting spot against the Colts.

Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr was lifted in the fourth quarter of Sunday's blowout in St. Louis and replaced by veteran Matt Schaub. Carr put together a miserable performance, completing 24 of 39 passes for 173 yards and no touchdowns with two interceptions.

Carr took three sacks and posted a 50.5 passer rating. He's accounted for one touchdown over his past three games.

The Raiders host the 49ers in Week 14.

Browns controversial rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel has replaced struggling starter Brian Hoyer in the fourth quarter of the Sunday game at Buffalo. Hoyer had thrown two interceptions, giving him five in the last two games to no touchdowns.

Manziel entered with his team down 20-3. His performance down the stretch could determine whether he remains the starter going forward. He led the team downfield for a touchdown in his first drive, scoring himself on a burst from 10 yards out.
