Minshew entered Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers for an injured Patrick Mahomes (knee) with 1:53 remaining and completed three of five passes for 22 yards with no touchdowns and an interception.

After Mahomes suffered an injury near the right sideline on an incomplete pass on the first play following the two-minute warning, Minshew was summoned for emergency duty in his first taste of regular-season action in 2025. Minshew proceeded to keep the Chiefs' last-gasp drive alive with completions of 11 and eight yards to Travis Kelce and a three-yard connection to Rashee Rice. However, the veteran signal-caller eventually hung the ball up on his fifth pass attempt, and Derwin James cut underneath Kelce to grab the interception and officially eliminate Kansas City from postseason contention in the process. With Mahomes set to undergo an MRI, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, and head coach Andy Reid not expressing optimism about the severity of the injury, Minshew appears likely to serve as the Chiefs' starting quarterback over the final three games of the regular season.

Dart completed 20 of 36 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders. He added 63 rushing yards on nine carries.

Once again, the rookie quarterback took a hit that forced him out of the game to get checked for a concussion, but he quickly returned to the game after being replaced by Jameis Winston for two plays in the fourth quarter. Per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, it's the fifth time this season Dart's been sent to the blue tent to be evaluated for a concussion, although he's been diagnosed with only one. In two games since his return from that two-week absence, Dart has completed 61.7 percent of his passes with a 3:1 TD:INT and 6.4 YPA. He'll try to make it through his first NFL season without further injury beginning in Week 16 against the Vikings.

Maye completed 14 of 23 passes for 155 yards, no touchdown passes and one interception in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills. He also rushed four times for 43 yards and two touchdowns.

Maye capped the opening drive with an eight-yard touchdown run, four plays after a drive-extending 30-yard pass to Kayshon Boutte, which hit the ground but wasn't challenged in time by Buffalo. The second-year quarterback added a seven-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter, but New England's offense didn't muster much after that outside of two long TreVeyon Henderson touchdown runs. Reigning MVP Josh Allen showed that a substantial gap remains between Maye and the NFL's top tier under center, as Allen threw three touchdown passes to lead the Bills' comeback from a 21-0 deficit and cut New England's lead atop the AFC East to one game. After feasting on an easy schedule for most of the campaign, Maye and the Patriots have a comparatively tougher stretch run, which will continue in Week 16 at Baltimore.

Herbert completed 19 of 29 passes for 210 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing twice for no gain in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

Herbert persevered through a pressure-filled afternoon that saw him sacked four times, navigating an aggressive Chiefs defense to help lead a comeback from a 13-3 deficit. The 2020 first-round pick put a dent in that margin just before the end of the first half, hitting rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith from 16 yards out with five seconds remaining in the second quarter. Herbert was relatively quiet the rest of the way, but he helped lead Los Angeles to the final six points of the game for either side on a pair of third-quarter drives. Herbert will continue spearheading the Chargers' playoff quest in a marquee road showdown against the Cowboys next Sunday afternoon.

Lawrence completed 22 of 30 passes for 330 yards and five touchdowns while rushing five times for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Jets.

Lawrence set a new career high with five touchdown passes as the Jaguars cruised to a fifth consecutive win. He led touchdown drives on each of Jacksonville's first three possessions, sandwiching his 15-yard touchdown run between touchdown passes of four yards to Brian Thomas and 16 yards to Bhayshul Tuten. The surging quarterback tacked on touchdown passes of 20 yards, eight yards and 45 yards to Travis Etienne. Lawrence has thrown multiple touchdown passes in four consecutive games, while the Jaguars have scored at least 25 points in seven straight since their bye, but extending those streaks won't be easy in Week 16 on the road against Denver's elite defense.

Coach Andy Reid said after Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers that Mahomes is slated to undergo an MRI on his left knee, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

With regard to the QB's injury, Reid acknowledged to reporters that "it didn't look good." Given the Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention by Sunday's loss, the team will presumably proceed with caution with the franchise signal-caller. If Mahomes ends up sidelined Week 16 and possibly beyond, Gardner Minshew would be in line to work as Kansas City's starter.

Mariota completed 10 of 19 passes for 211 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants. He added 43 rushing yards on 10 carries and committed two fumbles, losing one.

The Commanders leaned heavily on their ground attack for offense and also benefitted from a punt return TD by Jaylin Lane, but Mariota did hit Terry McLaurin for a 51-yard score in the fourth quarter to help put the game away. Washington's already eliminated from the playoffs and has little reason to rush Jayden Daniels (elbow) back into the lineup, but Mariota and his 10:7 TD:INT through 10 games is still just a placeholder for the second-year QB heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Eagles.

Allen completed 19 of 28 passes for 193 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed 11 times for 48 yards in the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

The Bills were in dire straits after a sluggish first half, as they went into the halftime locker room with a 24-7 deficit. However, as has often been the case this season, Allen donned his proverbial Superman cape with a significant assist from sidekick James Cook, who was on the receiving end of a five-yard scoring toss from Allen for Buffalo's only first-half points. Allen added four- and 14-yard touchdown passes to Dawson Knox in the second half, finishing with his second consecutive three-TD tally. The Bills naturally improved their chances of catching the Patriots for the AFC East crown with the successful rally, and Allen will aim to carry over the momentum into a Week 16 road matchup against an aggressive Myles Garrett-led Browns pass rush next Sunday.

Mahomes suffered a left knee injury of unknown severity late in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday and had to be helped to the locker room, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. He completed 16 of 28 passes for 189 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for 15 yards and a touchdown.

Mahomes went to the ground near the right sideline after uncorking an incomplete pass on the run while taking a hit with just under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, and he was writhing in pain for several minutes before being helped to the sideline and, eventually, the locker room. Gardner Minshew replaced Mahomes and threw a game-sealing interception that officially eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention. However, Mahomes' health is naturally the overriding concern for the time being, with more information expected as to the severity following further evaluation.

Cook completed 22 of 33 passes for 176 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars. He also rushed six times for 39 yards.

Cook completed his first six passes, the last of which was a nine-yard touchdown pass to Adonai Mitchell for Cook's first NFL touchdown pass. The undrafted rookie quarterback struggled after that point, tossing three interceptions as the Jets fell to 3-11 with a lopsided loss in Cook's first NFL start. Having already been eliminated from playoff contention, the Jets may just ride Cook the rest of the way. He'll be in the mix to start in Week 16 against the Saints, but the return of Tyrod Taylor (groin) or Justin Fields (knee) would muddy the Jets' quarterback situation.
