  • Kirk Cousins QB | ATL

    Falcons' Kirk Cousins: Shut down by Seattle

    Cousins completed 15 of 30 passes for 162 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.

    The Falcons were limited to just three field goals on the day, as Cousins simply couldn't get anything going. The absence of Drake London (knee) was noticeable, as tight end Kyle Pitts was the only Atlanta pass catcher to make much of an impact. Cousins has a 3:3 TD:INT in three starts since Michael Penix (knee) was lost for the season, but the veteran QB might have more success in Week 15 against the Buccaneers.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | MIA

    Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Modest numbers in run-heavy win

    Tagovailoa completed 13 of 21 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for no gain in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.

    Tagovailoa absorbed a big hit but delivered a three-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle on the opening drive. Miami's other three touchdowns all came on the ground, with De'Von Achane (ribs), Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon each scoring one. Achane exited in the second quarter, so the Dolphins went heavier on traditional runs rather than the screen passes that usually allow Achane to contribute as a receiver in space while padding Tagovailoa's passing stats. Tagovailoa notoriously struggles in cold conditions, and after this unimpressive statistical outing, he seems unlikely to heat up literally or figuratively in Week 15 at Pittsburgh.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Three TDs in Sunday's rout

    Darnold completed 20 of 30 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons. He added 23 rushing yards on three carries.

    The two teams traded field goals in the first half before Darnold got going after halftime, as he tossed a 28-yard TD to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the third quarter before connecting with Cooper Kupp and JSN on red-zone scores in the fourth. Darnold now has a 22:11 TD:INT through 13 games this season, including three games with three-plus touchdowns, and he'll look to keep the Seahawks on track for the playoffs in a Week 15 home clash against the Colts.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Could have reentered Sunday's game

    Coach Dan Quinn said after Sunday's 31-0 loss at Minnesota that Daniels (left elbow) could have returned to the game, but it was a coach's decision to keep him on the sideline, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    Daniels took a hit to his previously dislocated left elbow on his interception in the third quarter and was in visible discomfort going to the medical tent. He was deemed questionable to return but never reentered the contest, with Marcus Mariota directing the Commanders offense the rest of the way. In what was his first game action since Week 9, Daniels finished with 78 yards, no touchdowns and one interception on 9-for-20 passing and four carries for 16 yards.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Four TDs in high-scoring loss

    Burrow completed 25 of 36 passes for 284 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Burrow was victimized by a pair of line-of-scrimmage interceptions on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter, which ultimately turned the tide of the game. The Bills' Christian Benford made a stellar leaping grab of an attempted screen pass on the first pick, while A.J. Epenesa got ahold of a deflected throw in the second instance. Otherwise, Burrow's second game back after a long layoff saw the 2020 first-round pick thrive despite snowy conditions, connecting on a season-high four touchdown passes to Tee Higgins (21, 25 yards), Chase Brown (10 yards ) and Mike Gesicki (12 yards). Burrow will next face off with the same Ravens squad he upended in his Thanksgiving Night return when Baltimore pays a visit for a Week 15 matchup next Sunday.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Colts' Daniel Jones: Season-ending injury feared

    Following Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars, coach Shane Steichen acknowledged that Jones right Achilles injury "could be season-ending," James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    With that in mind, Steichen noted that the Colts can't confirm anything just yet, but acknowledged that it's "not looking good" for Jones, who sustained a non-contact Achilles' injury Sunday. For now, Riley Leonard is the only healthy QB on the team's active roster as next weekend's game against the Seahawks approaches.

  • Brady Cook QB | NYJ

    Jets' Brady Cook: Struggles in relief

    Cook completed 14 of 30 passes for 163 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions after replacing the injured Tyrod Taylor (groin) in the first half of Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins. Cook also rushed once for no gain.

    Cook dressed as the backup in the absence of Justin Fields (knee), and the undrafted rookie out of Missouri was pressed into action after Taylor got hurt. The Jets' only touchdown came on a punt return as Cook led one field-goal drive and turned it over twice. Cook would likely make his first NFL start in Week 15 at Jacksonville if neither Taylor nor Fields gets clearance to play.

  • J.J. McCarthy QB | MIN

    Vikings' J.J. McCarthy: Career-high three TDs in big win

    McCarthy completed 16 of 23 passes for 163 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Commanders. He added 19 rushing yards on six carries.

    The three TDs were a career high for McCarthy, although it was just his seventh career NFL game thanks to an injury-plagued start to his career. All three scores went to tight ends, two to Josh Oliver and one to T.J. Hockenson, as Justin Jefferson continues to be neutralized in the Vikings' offense. McCarthy was the 10th overall pick in the 2024 Draft and hasn't really had much of a chance to demonstrate his upside yet, but a strong finish to the current campaign would brighten Minnesota's outlook for 2026 considerably. McCarthy will take aim at another vulnerable defense in a Week 15 trip to Dallas.

  • Marcus Mariota QB | WAS

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Two turnovers in relief

    Mariota completed two of four passes for 30 yards and an interception in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings. He added seven rushing yards on two carries and also lost a fumble.

    Jayden Daniels returned to action in Week 14 but didn't last long, appearing to aggravate an injury to his left elbow in the third quarter and quickly being ruled out for the rest of the contest. Mariota took over the offense the rest of the way but had no more success against the Minnesota defense than Daniels did. There's no indication yet on Daniels' status for a Week 15 tilt against the Giants, but with the Commanders at 3-10 and playing for nothing but draft slotting, it's certainly possible the organization will decide to protect its franchise QB from any further damage and hand the reins to Mariota for the remainder of the season.

  • Rams' Stetson Bennett: Operating as emergency QB

    Bennett (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the team's emergency third quarterback Sunday against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Bennett will operate in his typical role as the team's No. 3 quarterback in Week 14. He'll only be able to enter the contest if both Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo are sidelined with injuries.
