Jackson completed 20 of 29 passes for 144 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and rushed 11 times for 73 yards in the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Jackson and the Ravens got off to a torrid start with 20 first-half points, with one of the touchdowns coming on a one-yard shovel pass to J.K. Dobbins. Jackson also broke off several productive runs throughout the game, but Baltimore's failure to score a single second-half point is partly an indictment on the star quarterback, who threw both his interceptions in the fourth quarter. The second was the most critical, as it came in the end zone on fourth down at the end of a 14-play, 93-yard drive when coach John Harbaugh opted to bypass a gimme field-goal attempt that would have given his team the lead. Jackson will now aim to bounce back from his season-low passing yardage total when he faces the Bengals in a primetime divisional clash next Sunday night.

Mills completed 26 of 35 passes for 246 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Chargers.

Mills saw his team go down 21 points early on, but he helped it rally to close the gap in the second half. The signal-caller threw an eight-yard touchdown to Rex Burkhead in the third quarter, before finding wideout Brandin Cooks for an 18-yard score to begin the fourth. However, with a pair of interceptions on the day, including a badly overthrown pass on Houston's first drive, it was hardly a clean performance from Mills. In fact, he's now thrown a pair of picks in back-to-back games ahead of Week 5's matchup versus the Jaguars.

Pickett completed 10 of 13 pass attempts for 120 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while rushing six times for 15 yards and two scores during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Jets.

The Steelers' offense was inefficient during the first half of Sunday's matchup, so Pickett made his NFL debut by taking over for Mitch Trubisky following halftime. Although the rookie first-rounder threw three interceptions, he was relatively productive and reached the end zone two times with his legs. Pickett nearly led the Steelers to the comeback victory, and it certainly seems possible that the team will turn to the rookie as the starting quarterback following a 1-3 start to the season.

Allen completed 19 of 36 passes for 213 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Ravens on Sunday. He also rushed 11 times for 70 yards and another score and fumbled once but recovered.

Allen and the rest of the offense opened the game in forgettable fashion, scoring all of three points for nearly the entirety of the first half before the star quarterback found Isaiah McKenzie for a four-yard touchdown pass with nine seconds remaining in the second quarter. That began a comeback from a 20-3 deficit that saw Buffalo's defense lend a major hand by shutting out Baltimore over the final two quarters. Allen wasn't anywhere near as efficient as usual against a tough Ravens defense in inclement weather, but his 11-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter and a pair of double-digit-play drives that culminated in field goals were enough for the Bills to complete the rally. With a major road challenge now in the rearview mirror, Allen will turn his sights to a home date with the Steelers in Week 5.

Jones (ankle) returned to Sunday's contest versus the Bears, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

After taking a sack for an 11-yard loss late in the third quarter, Jones stayed in the game for two more plays before Graham Gano was successful on a field-goal attempt. While Jones had his left ankle taped up, Tyrod Taylor took over the Giants offense, but he threw a pick on his first possession and then took a helmet-to-helmet hit on the next drive that required concussion testing. Jones didn't take snaps under center right away, instead yielding them to Saquon Barkley out of the wildcat. However, Jones did so on the next possession.

Taylor is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's contest against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Taylor took over for an injured Daniel Jones (ankle) in the fourth quarter, but he tossed an interception on his first drive before taking a helmet-to-helmet hit on his second possession. With the Giants rostering only two quarterbacks Sunday, Saquon Barkley operated out of the wildcat while Jones returned to the field and lined up out wide. It remains to be seen whether or not Taylor enters the concussion protocol.

Pickett took over for Mitch Trubisky to start the second half of Sunday's game against the Jets, ESPN Rich Cimini reports.

At the time, the Jets held a 10-6 lead, while Trubisky had completed seven of 13 passes for 84 yards and an interception. It remains to be seen if this leads to Pickett starting next Sunday's game against the Bills, but a strong effort in his NFL regular-season debut would no doubt support the chances of such an outcome.

Jones injured his ankle during Sunday's game against the Bears, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Jones had a noticeable limp after taking a sack late in the third quarter but stayed in the game for two more plays before a successful Graham Gano field goal. Team trainers taped up Jones' left ankle on the sideline, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record, but Tyrod Taylor handled all the QB reps for the Giants on their next possession before throwing a pick. It remains to be seen if Jones will be able to return to the field.

Dalton completed 20 of 28 passes for 236 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Vikings.

Dalton filled in admirably for Jameis Winston (back) and came up just short of leading the Saints to victory. He tallied his lone touchdown midway through the second quarter on a four-yard toss to Chris Olave. Though Dalton won't get credit on the stat sheet, he led two additional touchdown drives to keep the Saints competitive. It's unclear whether Winston will be available for a Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks, but Dalton showed the ability to fill in capably.

Cousins completed 25 of 38 passes for 273 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Saints.

Cousins moved the Vikings' offense effectively throughout the game but regularly stalled in the red zone. He managed his lone touchdown of the game midway through the first quarter on a 15-yard connection with Alexander Mattison. Cousins also regularly found Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen for solid gains, though his production was ultimately capped by his inability to finish drives. More positively, Cousins has managed at least 260 passing yards in three of four games to begin the season.
