Burrow completed 24 of 31 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals. He added two rushing yards on three carries.

In a battle between two of the league's worst defenses, it was Burrow and the Bengals that took the most advantage. The superstar QB hit Ja'Marr Chase for a 13-yard score in the first quarter to get the rout started, then connected with his top downfield option again for an eight-yard TD just before halftime. Burrow has topped 300 passing yards in back-to-back games with a 6:0 TD:INT, and he'll look to finish the season on a high note while avoiding having Myles Garrett set the all-time sack record at his expense, in Week 18 against the Browns.

Shough completed 22 of 27 passes for 333 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing four times for six yards in the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by New Orleans.

Shough stuck to a tight circle of six targets overall and was once again operating short-handed in his pass-catching corps, considering Mason Tipton (groin) was inactive. Nevertheless, the rookie brought the Saints back from an early 13-0 deficit with the help of 19- and 10-yard touchdown passes to Chris Olave and Kevin Austin, respectively. Shough's first pair of career 300-yard performances have come in the last two games, and he'll aim to close out what has turned into a highly promising rookie season in a Week 18 road matchup against the Falcons.

Mayfield completed 33 of 44 passes for 346 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions while adding three rushes for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one and recovering the other.

The Buccaneers surprisingly found themselves in the trail position for a majority of the game, leading to Mayfield's second-highest pass-attempt total of the season. The veteran signal-caller parlayed that volume of opportunity into a season-high completion tally and his second 300-yard effort in 2025. Mayfield connected with Chris Godwin (five yards) and Mike Evans (four yards) for his two TD passes, but a fourth-quarter interception and lost fumble were critical miscues that played a key role in the loss. Mayfield and his teammates will have a golden opportunity to atone, however, as a Week 18 home matchup against the Panthers presents a chance for the Bucs to still win the division, with a Week 18 win coupled with a Falcons loss in one of the next two games.

Brissett completed 21 of 37 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Bengals.

The Cardinals defense had no success at all slowing down Joe Burrow, so Brissett's efforts -- which included a 38-yard TD to Michael Wilson in the second quarter and an 18-yard score to Trey McBride in the fourth -- didn't make much impact. The veteran has tossed multiple touchdowns in nine of his 11 starts this season, posting a 21:7 TD:INT over that stretch as he makes a case for a starting job in 2026, whether with Arizona or someone else. With an undrafted rookie in Kedon Slovis as his backup, Brissett could still be under center in Week 18 against the Rams, even with nothing on the line for the Cards but draft position.

Maye completed 19 of 21 passing attempts for 256 yards and five touchdowns while rushing three times for 22 yards in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Jets.

Maye dissected the Jets for six touchdowns in as many drives, five of which came through the air. The recipients of Maye's five touchdown passes were Austin Hooper (two yards), Rhamondre Stevenson (22 yards), Stefon Diggs (three yards), Hunter Henry (13 yards) and Efton Chism (10 yards). Maye got the rest of the afternoon off after New England took a 42-3 lead in the third quarter, with Joshua Dobbs mopping up from there. The Patriots maintained first place in the AFC East with the win and would need a Week 18 win over the Dolphins coupled with a Denver loss to the Chargers to clinch the top seed in the AFC, which would come with a bye in the wild-card round. Maye and the rest of the starters should play as usual against the Dolphins with the No. 1 seed still in play for the Patriots.

Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but operating as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback Sunday versus the Bills.

Howell will once again serve as the team's No. 3 option at QB in Week 17. The 25-year-old will only be able to enter the game if both Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee are sidelined.

Wilson is the Giants' emergency third QB for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Jaxson Dart will thus be backed up by Jameis Winston on Sunday, with Wilson once again set to serve as the team's No. 3 QB in Week 17. Barring an injury to Dart or Winston, that's a role Wilson figures to reprise in next weekend's season finale.

O'Connell (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback against the Giants on Sunday.

O'Connell will not be allowed to play Sunday unless both Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett were to be taken out of the game due to injury, illness or ejection. O'Connell has yet to see regular-season action in 2025.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Panthers on Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Milroe will be the QB3 while Drew Lock serves as Sam Darnold's backup. As such, Milore is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Darnold and Lock were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. Milroe hasn't played since Week 5 against the Buccaneers.

Bazelak (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins but will serve as the Buccaneers' emergency third quarterback, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Bazelak will continue in his typical role as the No. 3 quarterback behind Baker Mayfield and Teddy Bridgewater. The reserve QB will be able to enter the game only if both quarterbacks on the active roster exit due to injury, illness or ejection.
