Rodgers completed 19 of 34 passes for 292 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding three rushes for 10 yards in the Steelers' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

After averaging just 5.2 yards per attempt while completing a sparse 59.5 percent of his passes over the first two games of the season, Rodgers begin clicking in Mike McCarthy's offense Sunday. The future Hall of Famer averaged 8.6 yards per attempt and had five completions of 22 yards or more while connecting with nine different pass catchers overall. Rodgers distributed the ball on his three touchdown passes as well, hitting Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek and DK Metcalf from 38, 23 and six yards out, respectively. Rodgers' passing yardage total was a season high despite his completion total being his lowest through three games, and he'll look to carry the momentum into a Week 4 road matchup against an aggressive Browns defense on Thursday night.

Smith completed 31 of 37 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions. He added 12 rushing yards on two carries and threw a two-point conversion.

The veteran QB was nearly flawless as the Jets nearly pulled off the upset, with his only turnover being a fumble on his fifth sack of the day late in the fourth quarter, ending his final possession. Smith spread the ball around, completing passes to eight different targets and connecting with Garrett Wilson, Jeremy Ruckert and rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq for his scores. Smith has been extremely efficient to begin the season, posting a 75.5 percent completion rate (77-for-102) with a 4:0 TD:INT and 7.7 YPA. He'll look to stay sharp in a Week 4 road trip to Chicago.

Maye completed 14 of 25 passes for 199 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and added four carries for 18 yards in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.

Maye's rough afternoon also included three sacks, and the multi-interception tally was already his second of the first three games of the new season. The 2024 first-round pick was only able to lead his team to two field goals, and two of his three turnovers were followed by Jaguars touchdowns on the ensuing drive. It's clear Maye misses No. 1 target A.J. Brown (IR, ankle), and although the latter's absence wasn't anywhere near as impactful in a Week 2 win over the Steelers where the defense held Pittsburgh to three points, it was glaring in a game where New England needed to consistently score points. Brown is still slated to miss several more games, and Maye will have plenty of pressure on him in a Week 4 road matchup against Josh Allen and the Bills.

Jones completed 24 of 36 passes for 235 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Texans. He also rushed three times for five yards and fumbled three times, losing two.

Jones led the Colts to their first win of the season despite the absence of wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle), who was placed on IR earlier in the week. Tyler Warren (nine), Keenan Allen (six) and Josh Downs (five) accounted for 20 of Jones' 24 completions, including a six-yard touchdown pass to Allen in the second quarter. Ball security has been an issue for Jones, who has three interceptions and two lost fumbles through three games, but the Colts finally have something to feel good about, having notched their first win since Week 10 of last season ahead of a Week 4 trip across the pond to face the Commanders in London.

Stroud completed 16 of 27 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 10 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts.

Houston's offense struggled for a second consecutive week in the absence of top wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring). Stroud threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Foster Moreau in the second quarter, but the Texans dropped to 0-3 for the second consecutive season. Houston bounced back to finish 12-5 in the 2025 regular season, but climbing out of an early hole again won't be easy, especially with the offensive line struggling to create running lanes or protect Stroud, who has been sacked 10 times through three games. Stroud will try to get off the schneid in an all-Texas Week 4 home game against the Cowboys.

Ward completed 23 of 36 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants. He added two rushing yards on one carry.

For a third straight game to begin the season, Ward failed to reach 200 passing yards, and his first turnover of 2026 came at the worst possible time. With the Titans in the red zone and looking for a game-winning touchdown inside the final minute of the fourth quarter, Ward lofted a pass into the end zone that Jevon Holland picked off. The second-year QB has seen a marginal improvement in his completion rate from the 59.8 percent he posted as a rookie, but Ward has produced just four TDs (two passes, two rushing) through three games. He'll likely need to up his output significantly in Week 4 against the Ravens if the Titans are going to have a chance at an upset.

Winston completed 14 of 22 passes for 118 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over Tennessee. He added 14 rushing yards on two carries.

The 32-year-old quarterback was getting his first start in place of Jaxson Dart (knee), but Winston wasn't asked to do very much as the Giants leaned on their backfield and their defense. To his credit, Winston did avoid committing any turnovers, which may be all coach John Harbaugh needs from him. Winston will look for opportunities to be more productive at home in Week 4 against the Cardinals.

Allen completed 16 of 26 passes for 204 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and added eight carries for 22 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Allen salvaged his fantasy day with his pair rushing touchdowns, which both came from one yard out in the second and fourth quarter. The do-it-all signal-caller couldn't get into a consistent rhythm through the air, however, as an aggressive and desperate Chargers defense sacked him four times and forced him into three turnovers overall. Fortunately for the Bills, only one of those miscues led to points by Los Angeles, and only a field goal at that. Allen did reestablish some chemistry with the returning DJ Moore, who he connected with for a team-high six completions and 67 yards on a team-high 10 targets. Allen will aim to get back to some efficiency through the air in a Week 4 divisional home battle against the Patriots next Sunday.

Willis completed 20 of 36 passes for 210 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs. He also rushed nine times for 56 yards and lost a fumble.

Willis led the team in rushing yards in a game starting running back De'Von Achane (knee) left in the first quarter. Achane could be facing a lengthy absence, which would further deplete a Dolphins offense that already lacks playmakers and entered Sunday's loss without wide receiver Caleb Douglas (ankle) and backup running back Jaylen Wright (foot). Willis has yet to exceed 220 passing yards or produce a multi-touchdown performance for the Dolphins, though he has rushed for at least 39 yards twice in three games ahead of a Week 4 road game at Minnesota.

Mahomes completed 20 of 24 passes for 246 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins. He also rushed once for one yard.

Mahomes found Travis Kelce for a 48-yard gain on Kansas City's first offensive play to set up a Kenneth Walker rushing touchdown before linking up with Walker for a five-yard touchdown pass on the next drive to give the Chiefs a lead they wouldn't relinquish for the rest of the game. The star quarterback was intercepted later in the first half but bounced back with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Kelce in the fourth quarter as the Chiefs pulled away from the offensively challenged Dolphins. Mahomes will take a 3-0 record and 7:2 TD:INT into a Week 4 road game against the Raiders.
