  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Tough day in loss to Bengals

    Carr completed 19 of 27 passes for 215 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Bengals.

    The 27 attempts tied for his season low, as the Raiders' defense couldn't contain Cincy's running game and get the ball back to its offense. Carr has been picked off in four straight games, compiling a 6:5 TD:INT over that stretch, and he may need to be sharper than that if Las Vegas is going to snap a three-game losing streak in a Thanksgiving Day clash with the Cowboys.

  • Colt McCoy QB | ARI

    Cardinals' Colt McCoy: Strong in road start

    McCoy completed 35 of 44 pass attempts for 328 yards and two touchdowns against Seattle on Sunday.

    With Kyler Murray (ankle) out again, McCoy was asked to step in as starter for the divisional road matchup -- the second divisional road matchup of McCoy's three-game stint as starter. That's normally a lot to put on a backup, but McCoy did a good job and kept the Arizona offense steady throughout the decisive victory, just as he did against the 49ers in Week 9. The Cardinals get a bye in Week 12 before facing Chicago the following week, and by then Murray should be able to step back into the starting lineup.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Rides running game to win

    Burrow completed 20 of 29 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders. He gained 11 rushing yards on three carries.

    The yardage total was his lowest of the season, and the second-year QB also lost a fumble, but Burrow didn't have to do too much on a day in which Joe Mixon was running wild. After tossing multiple TDs in eight straight games to begin the season, Burrow has managed only one score in his last two, a slump he'll look to break out of in Week 12 against the Steelers.

  • Matt Barkley QB | JAC

    Panthers' Matt Barkley: Sits out with Newton back in town

    Barkley (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against Washington, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Carolina's quarterback situation has shifted since Barkley first arrived. Sam Darnold (shoulder) is likely done for the season, but Barkley remains a distant third on Carolina's quarterback depth chart behind the recently reacquired Cam Newton and P.J. Walker.

  • Tim Boyle QB | TEN

    Lions' Tim Boyle: Struggles against Browns

    Boyle completed 15 of 23 passes for 77 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.

    Boyle made his first career NFL start after entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He had attempted only four passes prior to Sunday's game, but he was called upon with Jared Goff (oblique) sidelined. Boyle wasn't asked to do much, as he took to the air only 23 times. He threw two interceptions, one of which came deep in Browns territory. The positive news is that he peppered T.J. Hockenson with eight targets and D'Andre Swift with four, so the stars of the team still saw plenty of opportunity. Boyle is likely to get another start in Week 12 against the Bears, though his performance shouldn't be projected to markedly improve.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Struggles continue

    Wilson completed 14 of 26 pass attempts for 207 yards against Arizona on Sunday.

    Wilson was arguably better than he was against Green Bay in Week 10, but other than a few big throws to Tyler Lockett there just wasn't anything good going on for the Seattle passing game Sunday. The Arizona defense may well go down as one of the best in the NFL this year, so Wilson has that excuse at least, but it still seems like he's not fully himself as he works his way back from his finger injury, which he returned from last week. His Week 12 matchup at Washington is a favorable one, so Seattle will hope the finger cooperates and allows Wilson to really get back on track.

  • Bears' Justin Fields: Taken to hospital

    Fields didn't return to Sunday's game against the Ravens after exiting with a rib injury, and Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that Fields went to the hospital after the game to have his ribs and spleen checked.

    If Fields sustained an injury to his spleen, it would likely require a multi-week absence, and the same would go for cracked ribs. The team will likely have an update on his status in the coming days, though Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Fields appears to have avoided any broken ribs. Andy Dalton came in after Fields got hurt, and Dalton will start under center for the Bears in four days on Thanksgiving against the Lions if Fields isn't ready to return by then.

  • Browns' Baker Mayfield: Mistake-prone in win

    Mayfield completed 15 of his 29 pass attempts for 176 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 13-10 win over Detroit.

    Mayfield was intercepted early in the first quarter and again in the fourth to mark the first time he's thrown multiple picks in a game this season. He offset that slightly with a five-yard touchdown pass to Nick Chubb late in the second quarter. Though Mayfield averaged only 6.1 yards per attempt, he connected on four passes that went for gains of 20 yards or more. Mayfield has openly acknowledged that he is playing through a number of injuries that are likely to affect his performance both for a Week 12 matchup against Baltimore and for the rest of the campaign, so there isn't much reason to project major improvement in his results.

  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Titans' Ryan Tannehill: Four turnovers against Texans

    Tannehill completed 35 of 52 pass attempts for 323 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions in Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans. He added two rushes for three yards.

    There was consistent rain throughout the contest in Tennessee, and that seemed to have a significant effect on Tannehill's effectiveness. In addition to four interceptions, he also fumbled twice, though both were recovered by the Titans. A combination of the weather and turnovers limited Tannehill to only 6.2 yards per attempt, and he logged only four passes that went for gains of at least 15 yards. Tannehill has now failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in nine of his 11 games this season heading into a Week 12 matchup against a New England defense that has stifled opponents of late.

  • Kirk Cousins QB | LV

    Vikings' Kirk Cousins: Stays hot in home victory

    Cousins completed 24 of 35 pass attempts for 341 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 win over Green Bay.

    Cousins went into a matchup that can be challenging for opposing quarterbacks and excelled while leading his team to a surprising victory. The 33-year-old has been on a roll of late, completing 67 percent of his passes for 1,379 yards with 11 touchdowns and no interceptions over his last five contests. Cousins will look to keep his momentum rolling next Sunday against a San Francisco squad that is very thin in the secondary.
