Nick Mullens QB | JAC
49ers' Nick Mullens: Commits two turnovers vs. Saints
Mullens completed 24 of 38 pass attempts for 247 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Saints.
Mullens looked quite comfortable on the opening drive, completing 6-of-7 passes and capping it off with a short touchdown strike to Brandon Aiyuk. He struggled from that point on, however, and finished tied for his season low of 6.5 yards per attempt. Moreover, Mullen threw interceptions on his team's first and last possessions of the second half, ruining any chance of a comeback with Drew Brees (ribs) on the sidelines. He has now lost his last three starts while compiling an unsightly 3:5 TD:INT, but he should remain the starter after the team's upcoming bye week due to an injury to Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and C.J. Beathard's ineptitude.

Jared Goff QB | DET
Rams' Jared Goff: Tops 300 yards in Sunday's win
Goff completed 27 of 37 passes for 302 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Seahawks. He also gained four rushing yards on five carries.
While he predictably was able to move the ball very effectively through the air against a vulnerable Seattle secondary, Goff was denied any touchdowns as the Rams scored three TDs on the ground from inside the 10-yard line. It's the first time since Week 1 that Goff has failed to throw a touchdown pass, and he faces a tough test in Week 11 on the road against the Buccaneers.

Jameis Winston QB | NYG
Saints' Jameis Winston: Steps in for injured Brees
Winston completed 6 of 10 pass attempts for 63 yards during Sunday's 27-13 win over the 49ers.
Winston entered the game at the start of the second half after Drew Brees (ribs) picked up an injury earlier in the contest. He averaged a lackluster 6.3 yards per attempt and took a pair of sacks as he helped his team cruise to victory against an undermanned San Francisco outfit. The extent of Brees' injury is not yet known, but Winston would be in line to start next Sunday's matchup against the Falcons if his teammate is sidelined and would be an interesting fantasy option against one of the league's worst pass defenses.

Kyler Murray QB | MIN
Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Last-minute heroics against Bills
Murray completed 22 of 32 passes for 245 yards and one touchdown with one interception while carrying the ball 11 times for 61 yards and two more TDs in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Bills.
The one touchdown pass immediately went down as one of the greatest plays in Cardinals history -- on the final play of the game, Murray avoided pressure and heaved a 43-yard hail mary into the end zone that DeAndre Hopkins came down with despite triple coverage. The second-year QB already has 10 rushing touchdowns through nine games in addition to his impressive numbers through the air, and Murray figures to pad his totals further in Week 11 against a porous Seahawks defense.

Josh Allen QB | BUF
Bills' Josh Allen: Accounts for three TDs in loss
Allen completed 32 of 49 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Cardinals. He also rushed for 38 yards on seven carries and caught a 12-yard TD pass from Isaiah McKenzie.
It was another big performance for the third-year QB, as Allen led the Bills in rushing in addition to being involved in all three of the team's TDs on the afternoon. He's thrown multiple touchdown passes in eight of 10 games this season, leading to a 21:7 TD:INT, and he's also produced six other scores (five rushing, one receiving) as Buffalo heads into its bye week.

Russell Wilson QB | NYG
Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Sloppy performance in loss to Rams
Wilson completed 22 of 37 passes for 248 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams. He also lost a fumble and added eight carries for 60 yards.
The veteran quarterback was never comfortable behind his offensive line, as he was quick to flee the pocket or concede the sack, taking six total sacks for a loss of 28 yards. Wilson appeared increasingly uncomfortable in the fourth quarter when the Seahawks were trying to erase a two-possession deficit, and perhaps the most glaring lapse was a delay of game penalty on third down with 7:59 remaining in regulation. At one point in the fourth quarter, second-year receiver DK Metcalf beat Jalen Ramsey deep with a clear path to the end zone, but Wilson didn't even look his way, a move that manifested visible frustration from Metcalf. The Seahawks will fall to third place in the division as a result, and they'll need to calibrate quickly with a Thursday night game against Arizona on deck.

Justin Herbert QB | LAC
Chargers' Justin Herbert: Less than stellar in loss
Herbert connected on 20 of 32 attempts for 187 yards and two touchdowns while throwing one pick in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Dolphins. He added 10 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Herbert was able to pile on some junk-time production late, but it was an overall mundane performance in the battle of rookie QBs. A bevy of inaccurate throws stalled the Chargers' offense all game long, but the final nail in the coffin came when Herbert stared down his intended target early in the fourth quarter and threw a drive-ending interception, setting up the Dolphins for an easy touchdown to take a two-score lead. A fairly run-oriented approach from both sides kept the passing opportunities in check, but it was still surprising to see Keenan Allen and Mike Williams fail to get involved, with the latter registering his first reception early in the second half. On a positive note, the Chargers can look forward to a matchup against the hapless Jets next week.

Tua Tagovailoa QB | ATL
Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Mistake-free again in Week 10 win
Tagovailoa completed 15 of 25 passes for 169 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Dolphins' 29-21 win over the Chargers on Sunday. He also netted minus-1 yard on six carries and recovered a fumble.
The rookie put together another efficient and mistake-free performance, relying primarily on short passing and again benefiting from a stellar effort by his defense. Tagovailoa connected with Jakeem Grant and Durham Smythe for his pair of passing touchdowns, boosting him to a stellar 5:0 TD:INT over his first two starts. The Alabama product appears to be processing the portions of the playbook he's been allowed to operate very well thus far, and he'll likely be fed a bit more each week as he continues to acclimate. Tagovailoa's next test comes on the road against the Broncos in a Week 11 matchup.

Teddy Bridgewater QB | DET
Panthers' Teddy Bridgewater: MRI ordered up on knee
Bridgewater is undergoing an MRI on his right knee Sunday evening, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.
Bridgewater left Sunday's 46-23 defeat to the Buccaneers in the fourth quarter, having his right knee examined before heading to the locker room. Coach Matt Rhule didn't provide an update on Bridgewater's health after the game, per David Newton of ESPN.com, but there's apparently enough concern that an MRI has been ordered up. Next up for reps behind Bridgewater is P.J. Walker, though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Bridgewater's knee injury isn't believed to be overly serious and he hasn't been ruled out for next week heading into the MRI.

Jake Luton QB | LV
Jaguars' Jake Luton: Keeps team competitive at Lambeau
Luton completed 18 of 35 pass attempts for 169 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 24-20 loss to Green Bay.
Luton absorbed three sacks during the Week 10 defeat while committing a giveaway for a second straight outing, but he again proved capable of keeping the Jaguars competitive in a matchup against a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback. Last Sunday against Deshaun Watson and the Texans, Luton and Jacksonville fell by only two points. On the road in Green Bay, the rookie had his team ahead by three in the fourth quarter. The sixth-round draft choice moves to 0-2 as a starter, though there may be a case for him to keep his job once Gardner Minshew (thumb) returns from injury. Minshew had dropped his past six starts before suffering the injury, with Jacksonville losing by double digits in four of those outings. Next up for the Jaguars is a home game against the vaunted Pittsburgh defense.
