Stroud completed 18 of 26 passes for 131 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added four yards on six rushes in the Texans' 20-12 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Stroud salvaged a performance that featured his second-lowest passing yardage total of the season with a pair of six-yard touchdown passes to Nico Collins in the second and third quarters, respectively. Otherwise, the talented second-year signal-caller scuffled against an aggressive and talented Dolphins defense that sacked him four times. Stroud has a pair of multi-touchdown-pass efforts within a three-game span for only the second time all season heading into a Week 16 Saturday afternoon road showdown against the Chiefs.

Tagovailoa completed 29 of 40 passes for 196 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions and lost a fumble in the Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Tagovailoa's final line underscores how much of a sluggish afternoon it was for the talented quarterback, even in the climate-controlled conditions of NRG Stadium. The fact Jaylen Waddle exited the game with a knee injury in the first half and never returned certainly didn't help Tagovailoa's cause, but he played the biggest role in his and the Dolphins' undoing with his four turnovers, the first two of which helped lead to 10 points for the Texans. Tagovailoa's final miscue of the afternoon, his third interception of the season, was the most ill-timed, considering it came on the first play of what could have evolved into a game-tying drive for Miami. The fifth-year pro had thrown just four interceptions all season coming in, but Sunday marked his second three-pick tally of the season. Tagovailoa will look to keep the Dolphins' increasingly thin playoff hopes alive against a tough defense similar in style and caliber to that of the Texans when he faces the 49ers in a Week 16 home clash.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said after Sunday's 21-7 win in Cleveland that Mahomes' right ankle isn't broken but "is sore," Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Mahomes was on the receiving end of a hit in the fourth quarter that resulted in him needing some assistance to get to the sideline. He eventually was deemed questionable to return due to an ankle injury, but backup Carson Wentz handled quarterback duties for the rest of the contest while Mahomes was seen getting his ankle taped on the bench. In addition to Reid's initial comment on Mahomes, the coach told Nate Taylor of The Athletic that the quarterback's status will "literally be day by day," adding that Mahomes "probably could've gone back in" Sunday if needed. When Mahomes injured his ankle in the first half of a Week 9 victory against the Buccaneers, he also missed some snaps but was able to return and finish out the game. Considering the Chiefs were up by 14 points at the time of Mahomes' exit, being cautious with their franchise signal-caller seemingly was the prudent approach, but his status now will need to be monitored in advance of Saturday's matchup with the Texans.

Jackson completed 21 of 25 passes for 290 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed six times for 65 yards in the Ravens' 35-14 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Jackson, as he's prone to do on occasion, was locked in as a passer throughout the afternoon, with Baltimore somewhat surprisingly staying aggressive through the air despite the tepid threat posed by the Giants offense. The perennial MVP candidate connected with Mark Andrews for a 13-yard scoring strike to kick things off late in the first quarter, and he subsequently hit Rashod Bateman for touchdown tosses of 49 and 20 yards before intermission. Jackson's final two TD passes of the prolific afternoon went to Devontez Walker (21 yards) and Justice Hill (27 yards) in the third and fourth quarters, respectively, giving the talented signal-caller his second five-TD tally of the campaign. Jackson also has compiled 144 rushing yards on just 14 attempts over his last two games, but he'll be hard-pressed to replicate his stellar production in a Week 16 Saturday afternoon home matchup versus a Steelers team he's traditionally struggled against throughout his career.

Haener completed four of 10 passes for 49 yards and one interception during Sunday's 20-19 loss against Washington. He also rushed once for seven yards.

Haener was making his first career start in place of injured signal-caller Derek Carr, who suffered a concussion and hand fracture during last week's win over the Giants. However, the second-year quarterback struggled against the Commanders' middling defense and tossed an interception during the first half. This led New Orleans to bench Haener for rookie Spencer Rattler coming out of halftime. The Saints went on four scoring drives in the second half and came up just short on a last-second two-point conversion attempt that would have won the game. Rattler went 10-for-21 for 135 yards and a touchdown during the second half. Given each quarterback's performance Sunday, it's likely that Rattler get the start ahead of Haener for next week's contest against the Packers on Monday, Dec. 23.

Wentz entered Sunday's 21-7 win over the Browns with 5:23 remaining in the fourth quarter in place of the injured Patrick Mahomes (ankle) and completed both of his pass attempts for 20 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He also netted no yardage on three carries.

Mahomes was bent back awkwardly on the last play of the prior Chiefs possession and limped off the field, necessitating Wentz's second appearance this season and leading to his first two regular-season pass attempts as a Chief. Mahomes was seen with his left ankle heavily taped on the sideline late in the game, so the short week ahead of a Week 16 Saturday afternoon matchup against the Texans will begin with the star signal-caller's status uncertain and Wentz therefore looking at the possibility of a spot start if the issue proves serious enough.

Rattler completed 10 of 21 passes for 135 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 20-19 loss versus the Commanders.

Rattler took over under center to begin the third quarter after starting quarterback Jake Haener completed just four passes in the first half. The latter signal-caller got the start with Derek Carr sidelined by a concussion and hand fracture that he suffered during last week's win against the Giants. After being held scoreless in the first half, the Saints went on four scoring drives with Rattler and nearly pulled off a comeback after he threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Foster Moreau as time expired. He then came up short when he failed to connect with tight Juwan Johnson on the ensuing two-point conversion attempt. With Carr expected to miss the remainder of the season, Rattler appears likely to get the start for next week's game against Green Bay on Monday.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said after Sunday's 21-7 loss to the Chiefs that he'll make a decision later on the Browns' starting quarterback after the Browns benched Winston in the fourth quarter in favor of Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to yielding QB duties to Thompson-Robinson midway through the final quarter, Winston completed 16 of 25 passes for 146 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions, was sacked five times for a combined loss of 37 yards and had two carries for minus-2 yards. On the Browns' only score, Winston handed the ball off to Jerome Ford, who did the rest of the work on a 62-yard TD. Thompson-Robinson didn't fare better than Winston on his two possessions: 4-for-9 passing for 18 yards and a pick and three rushes for 16 yards. It's unclear when Stefanski may make a call between the two ahead of next Sunday's game at Cincinnati, but Winston seems to be in danger of getting benched, at least in the short term.

Daniels completed 25 of 31 pass attempts for 226 yards and a pair of touchdowns while taking 11 carries for 66 yards in Sunday's 20-19 win over New Orleans.

Daniels picked apart the opposition by completing 81 percent of his passes while using his legs to extend multiple drives in Sunday's one-point victory. The promising rookie recorded his fourth game with multiple touchdowns and no turnovers through 14 starts as a pro. As of the conclusion of this game, the 9-5 Commanders still have an outside shot at the NFC East title, so expect inspired play from Daniels against the first-place Eagles next Sunday.

Mahomes was forced out of Sunday's game against the Browns with an ankle injury.

Before exiting the contest, Mahomes completed 19 of 38 pass attempts for 159 yards and two TDs, while carrying twice for 14 yards. Carson Wentz has taken over at QB for the Chiefs, with Mahomes' status now worth tracking ahead of this coming Saturday's game against the Texans.
