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.

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.

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.

Daniels exited Sunday's game at Minnesota due to a left elbow injury.

Daniels was donning a sleeve on his left elbow Sunday in his first game action since Week 9, when he suffered an ugly dislocation that resulted in three contests on the sideline. He appeared to aggravate the issue when he got hit on a pass attempt in the third quarter in which the ball popped into the air and was corralled for an interception by the Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel. Daniels yielded the Commanders offense to Marcus Mariota upon his departure.

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

As the emergency QB3, O'Connell is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Jones has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Jaguars with an Achilles' injury.

Before sustaining the injury, Jones completed five of seven passes for 60 yards and a pick and carried once for four yards. In his absence, Riley Leonard is slated to take over at QB for the Colts.

Jones left Sunday's game at Jacksonville in the first quarter with a lower-leg injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones crumbled to the ground and pointed to his leg before being helped off the field. Riley Leonard replaced Jones at quarterback.

Taylor was forced out of Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a groin injury.

Prior to leaving the contest, Taylor completed one of his four pass attempts for six yards and an interception. With Justin Fields (knee) inactive Sunday, Brady Cook is in at QB for the Jets.

Murray (foot) might never play for the Cardinals again, with the team treating him like the Broncos did with Russell Wilson a couple of seasons ago, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

Many have speculated that this might be Murray's fate, given that he wasn't initially expected to have a lengthy absence and then ended up on IR. The Cardinals will have an interesting offseason discussion, to say the least. Will they use a potential top-10 pick on a quarterback, shop for another veteran, or even bring back Jacoby Brissett? Meanwhile, Brissett will remain the starter the rest of this season.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive while serving as Baltimore's emergency third quarterback for Sunday's Week 14 battle against Pittsburgh, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Rush typically serves in this role on game days, as he remains behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley in the Ravens' QB pecking order. Rush is eligible to enter Sunday's game only if both Jackson and Huntley need to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.
