Jackson completed 17 of 32 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Giants. He added 77 rushing yards on seven carries.

Jackson connected with Mark Andrews regularly throughout the day, but he struggled to consistently connect with any other pass catcher in the absence of Rashod Bateman (foot). The end result was only 6.6 yards per attempt, though he did manage to salvage his stat line with 77 rushing yards. All of that work was overshadowed by a fumble late in the fourth quarter that all but clinched a Giants' victory. After beginning the season with three or more touchdowns in each of his first three games, Jackson has only one touchdown in each of his last three matchups.

Zappe completed 24 of 34 passes for 309 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Patriots' 38-15 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also netted minus-4 yards on three rushes and lost a fumble.

The rookie's remarkable starting run continued in fine fashion Sunday, with Zappe setting new career highs in completions, pass attempts, passing yards and touchdown passes. Zappe's one turnover came on a strip sack by Myles Garrett late in the first quarter in New England territory, but the Patriots defense was subsequently up to the task by turning the Browns over on downs in the ensuing possession. Zappe's tenure under center may be coming to an end for now with Mac Jones (ankle) ostensibly having a good chance of returning for a Week 7 Monday night home battle against the Bears, but he's arguably shown enough to perhaps keep the No. 2 job even when Brian Hoyer (IR-concussion) is healthy enough to return.

Wilson completed 10 of 18 passes for 110 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.

Wilson had a long gain of 41 yards to Corey Davis during the second half, but he overall made a limited impact, posting comfortably his lowest yardage while not scoring for the first time this season. However, in avoiding any turnovers, Wilson still did enough to help the Jets earn an unlikely road victory. With a perfect record in his three games since returning from injury, Wilson will look to keep New York's momentum going while contributing more himself in Week 7 versus Denver.

Mariota completed 13 of 14 passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 28-14 victory versus the 49ers. He also rushed six times for 50 yards and an additional score.

Mariota submitted his cleanest performance of the season as he threw just one incompletion and didn't fumble for the first time during the campaign. It was the second straight contest that Mariota didn't turn the ball over, which may be a sign he's shaken the rust off after not playing regularly since the 2019 season. Mariota was sharp from the start Sunday and completed 13 straight passes to start the game, including a two-yard touchdown to MyCole Pruitt and a seven-yard score to Kyle Pitts. Mariota's dual-threat ability was also on full display as he used his speed to make big plays in the running game and gave the Falcons a 21-14 lead in the second quarter with a three-yard rushing score. This type of performance is exactly what Mariota can bring to Atlanta's offense, but he'll have to prove he can do it consistently. He'll look to maintain his strong play in Week 7 against the Bengals.

Rodgers completed 26 of 41 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets. He also was sacked four times and lost a fumble.

Rodgers' lone turnover came as a result of a fumbled handoff exchange with tailback AJ Dillon. While the signal caller doesn't carry sole blame for that play, it was nonetheless a frustrating outing for Rodgers, who lost trusted wideout Randall Cobb (ankle) during the game as well. With a depleted supporting cast and struggles in protection, Green Bay's offense again underwhelmed, scoring only via Rodgers' 25-yard pass to Allen Lazard during the third quarter. Having endured consecutive losses, Rodgers at least appears to have a favorable matchup in Week 7 versus the Commanders, offering hope for a needed breakthrough.

Trubisky completed nine of 12 pass attempts for 144 yards and a touchdown while rushing six times for five yards during the Steelers' 20-18 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Trubisky served as a backup for a second consecutive week but was needed in relief when Kenny Pickett exited with a concussion midway through the third quarter. After struggling with inefficiency earlier in the season, Trubisky was strong down the stretch to help lead Pittsburgh to its second win of the 2022 campaign. It wouldn't be surprising to see Pickett reclaim his starting role once he's deemed fully healthy, but Trubisky should serve as the Steelers' starting quarterback next Sunday against Miami if Pickett is unable to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for the game.

Pickett (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Prior to exiting the contest and being replaced by Mitch Trubisky, Pickett completed 11 of his 18 pass attempts for 67 yards and a TD. Pickett will now look to clear the NFL's concussion protocols ahead of next Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Pickett, who exited Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, is being evaluated for a concussion, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

With Pickett forced out of the game, Mitch Trubisky has taken over at QB for the Steelers. Prior to departing the contest, Pickett completed 11 of his 18 pass attempts for 67 yards and a TD.

Pickett left Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay in the second half due to an undisclosed injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Pickett took a big hit from Devin White and immediately went to the medical tent. After a brief stint there, he was taken to the locker room. Mitch Trubisky, who started the first four games of the season for Pittsburgh, has replaced Pickett at quarterback.

Wolford (neck) is out Sunday against the Panthers, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Wolford popped up on the injury report Friday due to the injury. With him unable to play, Bryce Perkins will operate as the No. 2 quarterback behind Matthew Stafford.
