Williams completed 26 of 40 passes for 334 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed six times for 34 yards in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

The end result was another ugly loss for the Bears that dropped them to 4-11, but Williams' play was encouraging from a statistical perspective. The rookie first overall pick's yardage total was the third highest of his career, and the performance was his fourth 300-yard effort overall. Williams authored his fourth multi-touchdown tally of the last five contests by connecting with Cole Kmet (one yard) and Keenan Allen (45 yards) for his pair of scoring passes, both of which came in the second quarter. He also hasn't thrown an interception in nine straight games. Williams will look to continue honing his craft while seeking to snap what is now a nine-game losing streak for Chicago when the Seahawks come to town for a Week 17 matchup Thursday night.

Murray completed 20 of 32 pass attempts for 202 yards, one touchdown and one interception in addition to eight rushing attempts for 63 yards, another score and a fumble lost in Sunday's 36-30 overtime loss to Carolina.

Murray provided mixed results for fantasy managers in a must-win contest that the Cardinals squandered in overtime to a Panthers squad that entered Week 16 with three wins on the year. The dual-threat QB was responsible for two scores Sunday, but he also committed two turnovers for the third time over his last four appearances. The loss eliminated Arizona from playoff contention, meaning that Murray and the Cardinals can only play the role of spoiler in Week 17 against the Rams on Saturday.

Burrow completed 23 of 30 passes for 252 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 19 yards and lost a fumble.

Burrow put together another one of his signature crisp passing performances, with the only true blemish on his day the fumble he committed on a sack at the Browns' 15-yard line with just over four and a half minutes remaining. Otherwise, Burrow was busy dissecting Cleveland's secondary on his way to his record seventh straight game with at least 250 passing yards and three touchdowns. The 2020 first overall pick hit Tee Higgins (two yards), Andrei Iosivas (six yards) and Ja'Marr Chase (32 yards) for his trio of scores Sunday, and he'll look to replicate the strong numbers versus a talented Broncos secondary at home in a Saturday afternoon Week 17 matchup.

Goff completed 23 of 32 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Bears. He added one rushing attempt for minus-1 yard.

Goff linked up with Jameson Williams for an 82-yard touchdown in the second quarter and added an eight-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown in the final minute of the first half. Detroit took a 27-14 lead into the locker room, and Goff finished the first half with 254 passing yards. He stretched the lead to 20 with a 21-yard trick play touchdown pass to Sam LaPorta just 2:42 into the third quarter, which was Goff's career-high 33rd touchdown pass. Goff has thrown for 830 yards and eight touchdowns across his last two starts heading into a Week 17 Monday Night Football matchup against a 49ers team that has been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

Thompson-Robinson completed 20 of 34 passes for 157 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding nine carries for 49 yards in the Browns' 24-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Thompson-Robinson and the Browns' offense as a whole got a big boost on the first play from scrimmage when Jerome Ford ripped off a 66-yard run up the gut of the Bengals' defense. However, in a sign of what type of day it would be for Cleveland, D'Onta Foreman subsequently fumbled at the goal line on that possession and Thompson-Robinson could only help his team to 10 net offensive yards the rest of the first half. The second-year signal-caller then short-circuited consecutive third-quarter drives with interceptions, the first of which came in the end zone. Thompson-Robinson did make plenty of positive plays with his legs and displayed decent command of the offense by connecting with six different targets, but he'll need to eliminate the mistakes to give his team a better chance in a Week 17 home matchup against the Dolphins, a game that head coach Kevin Stefanski committed to having Thompson-Robinson start, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic, provided the minor calf issue the young quarterback suffered on the game's opening drive doesn't prevent him from doing so.

Bradley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday afternoon's game versus Jacksonville but is available as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback.

Bradley will only be eligible to see the field should something happen to quarterbacks Aidan O'Connell and Desmond Ridder. He has not yet logged a stat in his NFL career.

Rypien (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus Seattle but is available as the emergency quarterback.

Rypien will be inactive yet again for the Vikings, but he would be eligible should something happen to both Sam Darnold and Nick Mullens. The veteran quarterback has yet to see the field this year.

Hall (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

With Geno Smith dealing with a knee injury, Seattle signed Hall off the practice squad to the active roster to provide insurance at quarterback. Smith has been cleared to play Sunday, and with Sam Howell serving as the backup quarterback, Hall will be the emergency third-string QB. Hall will only see the field if both Smith and Howell are removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Hurts (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Prior to being forced out of the contest, Hurts completed one of four pass attempts for 11 yards and ran three times for 41 yards. In his absence, Kenny Pickett has taken over at quarterback for the Eagles.

Hurts is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game at Washington.

At the end of a 13-yard run in the first quarter, Hurts was sandwiched by a pair of Commanders defenders and seemed to be a bit dazed when he got to his feet. He was removed from the game, visited the sideline tent and appeared poised to return to the field before going to the locker room. If Hurts is diagnosed with a concussion, he'll yield QB duties to Kenny Pickett for the rest of Week 16.
