Flacco completed 16 of 34 passes for 184 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding three rushes for minus-1 yard in the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Flacco's ragged stat line tells the tale of a tough afternoon against an aggressive Lions defense that sacked him three times in addition to the three turnovers. The veteran signal-caller did keep Cleveland competitive for a significant part of the contest before Detroit pulled away with 14 fourth-quarter points, but with a 2:6 TD:INT and 58.1 percent completion rate through four games, it may not be long before Flacco is swapped out for one of Cleveland's rookie QBs, Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders. However, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports a switch may not yet be in the works just yet, as head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed after the game he's still not considering a quarterback change.

Mahomes completed 25 of 37 passes for 270 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 37-20 win over Baltimore. He added four rushes for five yards.

Mahomes turned in a vintage effort, perhaps not coincidentally as the return of Xavier Worthy reinforced his wide receiver corps. Mahomes threw four touchdowns in a regular-season game for the first time since Week 10 of the 2023 season, with all four scores coming in the red zone. He primarily attempted passes in the short areas of the field but still recorded six completions of at least 15 yards. This was Mahomes' first game with multiple touchdowns this season, and it also accounted for his highest yardage total of 2025. If Worthy's shoulder holds up, Mahomes could be in for much improved results as the campaign progresses -- particularly once Rashee Rice (suspension) is eligible to return in Week 7.

Young completed 18 of 30 passes for 150 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while adding one rush for three yards in the Panthers' 42-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Young was pulled late for Andy Dalton in the 29-point defeat, and the third-year signal-caller was largely ineffective most of the afternoon. The highlight of his performance came very early, as Young capped off a crisp seven-play opening possession with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Tremble. The now 1-3 Panthers will try to capitalize on what should be a favorable matchup against the middling Dolphins defense in a Week 5 home clash next Sunday, but coach Dave Canales' patience with Young may be wearing a bit thin.

Dart completed 13 of 20 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers. He added 54 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.

Making his first NFL start, the 25th overall pick in the 2025 Draft led the Giants to their first win of the year, scampering for a 15-yard TD on the team's first drive and then hitting Theo Johnson for a three-yard score -- Dart's first career passing touchdown -- in the third quarter. Despite the positive result in the standings, it was not an entirely encouraging performance from the young QB. New York's porous offensive line allowed Dart to be sacked five times and take plenty of other hits, and, per Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports, he had to leave the field briefly to be checked for a concussion. In worse news for the Giants and Dart, Malik Nabers left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury that's feared to be a torn ACL. If Nabers is lost for the season, or misses any time at all, Dart would have arguably the weakest group of pass catchers in the league at his disposal for a trip to New Orleans in Week 5.

Goff completed 16 of 27 passes for 168 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

Goff served primarily as a game manager with his team cruising to a win, as he took to the air fewer than 30 times for the third consecutive game in Detroit's ground-focused offense. In contrast to those prior games, he lacked efficiency in a tough matchup against the Browns, averaging only 6.2 yards per attempt. Goff still tossed a pair of touchdowns that came from two and eight yards away while also completing three passes of at least 20 yards.

Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Kansas City due to a hamstring injury.

Prior to his exit from Sunday's contest, Jackson completed 14 of his 20 passing attempts for 147 yards with a touchdown and interception while adding six carries for 48 yards. Cooper Rush has stepped in at quarterback for the Ravens in Jackson's stead.

Herbert completed 23 of 41 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants. He added 24 rushing yards on his only carry and ran for a two-point conversion.

The 27-year-old quarterback committed multiple turnovers for the first time in 2025 while throwing for a season low in passing yards as the Chargers took their first loss, but Herbert did salvage his day to some extent with a 36-yard TD to Quentin Johnston late in the second quarter. Herbert still has a respectable 7:3 TD:INT through four games heading into a Week 5 tilt against a Commanders defense that just gave up career-best numbers to the Falcons' Michael Penix.

Rattler completed 18 of 27 passes for 126 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-19 loss against the Bills.

Rattler attempted fewer than 34 passes and threw for under 200 yards for the first time this season. The second-year quarterback has been underwhelming despite averaging 39.7 passing attempts through the first three regular-season games. Sunday's outing also marked the first time this season that the Saints have had more rushing attempts (34) than passing attempts (28). Rattler's production may suffer again if the Saints lean into the running game during their Week 5 matchup against the Giants, whose defense has allowed a league-worst 6.1 yards per carry.

Maye completed 14 of 17 passes for 203 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed three times for 11 yards and another score in the Patriots' 42-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Maye's ultra-efficient stat line underscored New England's all-around dominance on the afternoon, and he didn't need to do much as a passer in the second half after the Patriots took a 28-6 lead into halftime. The second-year signal-caller connected with seven different targets while hitting Hunter Henry and Mack Hollins for scores. Maye added his second rushing touchdown of the campaign on a five-yard run to open the second quarter, and he'll look to extend his streak of games with multiple TD passes to four when New England visits Buffalo for a Week 5 road showdown next Sunday night.

Mayfield completed 22 of 40 passes for 289 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also fumbled once but was able to recover it.

Mayfield got limited throwing work in practice this week due to a biceps issue, but he still mustered his best passing yardage total of 2025, thanks in large part to 77- and 72-yard touchdown passes to Emeka Egbuka and Bucky Irving, respectively. Considering he was playing without Mike Evans (hamstring) and that Chris Godwin was making his season debut, Mayfield's numbers have to be considered encouraging. He'll aim to get the Bucs right back into the win column during a tough Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday afternoon.
