  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Quiet in win over Giants

    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.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Leads furious comeback Sunday

    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.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Concerning knee injury in loss

    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.

  • Brady Cook QB | NYJ

    Jets' Brady Cook: One TD, three INTs in first start

    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.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Redeems himself in Week 15 win

    Hurts completed 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed seven times for 39 yards in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Coming off a forgettable five-turnover showing against the Chargers in a Week 14 overtime loss, Hurts was near perfect against a considerably inferior opponent. The reigning Super Bowl MVP threw two short shovel-pass TDs to Dallas Goedert before connecting with A.J. Brown from 27 yards out on the first play of the fourth quarter to close out the scoring on the afternoon. Hurts now has multiple TD tosses in two of the last three games after a three-game stretch with one or zero scoring passes, and he lines up for another potentially productive day in a Week 16 road matchup against the Commanders on Saturday afternoon.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Tosses two TDs against Cincy

    Jackson completed eight of 12 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals. He added 26 rushing yards on two carries.

    With the Ravens' defense putting together a dominant effort, Jackson didn't need to do too much more after finding Rasheen Ali and Zay Flowers for TDs in the second quarter. It's the first time Jackson has tossed multiple touchdowns since Week 9, as he'd stumbled to a 2:4 TD:INT over his prior five games, but a matchup against Cincinnati's woeful defense wasn't exactly a tough test. The two-time MVP will need to stay sharp in Week 16 against the Patriots if the Ravens are going to stay in the AFC playoff picture.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Struggles in shutout loss

    Burrow was held to 225 passing yards in Sunday's shutout loss to the Ravens. He connected on 25 passes on 39 attempts, was picked off twice and sacked three times.

    Time after time, the Bengals moved the ball in the middle of the field, only to stall out when reaching Ravens territory. The final insult was a pick-six thrown by Burrow after they had driven the ball inside the Ravens' 10-yard line. With the loss, the Bengals have been eliminated from the playoffs and have some hard questions to answer for the long run. In the short term, they may even question whether it makes sense to risk Burrow re-injuring his toe in three meaningless season-ending games against Miami, Arizona and Cleveland.

  • Rams' Stetson Bennett: Serving as emergency QB in Week 15

    Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive and will serve as the Rams' emergency third quarterback Sunday against Detroit, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    This is a familiar role for Bennett, who has yet to make an appearance in a regular-season NFL game. He can enter Sunday's game only if both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Jalen Milroe QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Emergency QB for Week 15

    Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Colts on Sunday.

    As the emergency QB3, Milroe is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock leave the game due to illness, injury or ejection. Milroe hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since Week 5 against the Buccaneers.

  • Brett Rypien QB | MIN

    Colts' Brett Rypien: Inactive in Week 15

    Rypien (coach's decision) is inactive as the Colts' emergency No. 3 quarterback for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Though he began Week 15 prep as the only healthy quarterback in the Colts organization and was officially signed off the practice squad Wednesday, Rypien will be available only in an emergency Sunday. With Daniel Jones (Achilles) out for the season and Anthony Richardson (orbital) stuck on injured reserve, the Colts lured Philip Rivers out of retirement and are expected to have the 44-year-old start Sunday in what will be his first NFL appearance since the 2020 postseason. Riley Leonard, who was slowed by a low-grade knee sprain to begin the week, will be active as Rivers' backup.
