Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins said he would like to be traded if Robert Griffin III is named the starting quarterback for 2015, according to NBCWashington.com.

Cousins said there is no point to remaining with the team, if there is no quarterback competition. Cousins will be in the final year of his rookie contract in 2015.

"Isn't it obvious I couldn't stay here," Cousins said about wanting a trade, if RG3 is named the starter.

Cousins went 1-4 in five starts in 2014 and is 2-7 in nine career starts. He has thrown more interceptions (19) than passing touchdowns (18) in 14 career games. He also has a 59 percent career completion rate.

Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton completed 27 of his 38 pass attempts for 244 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday night's 27-17 loss to the Steelers.

Dalton hit Giovani Bernard with a pass over the middle of the field in the red zone, and he was able to leap over a defender en route to the pylon to score a 17-yard touchdown. Dalton's second score came on a five-yard pass to Jermaine Gresham in the fourth quarter, with the tight end doing most of the work after the catch.

Dalton ends the regular season with 3,398 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and 17 interceptions as well as 169 rushing yards on 60 carries with another four scores on the ground. The Bengals will head to Indianapolis for a first-round matchup with the Colts Sunday.

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr didn't do much Week 17 against the Broncos.

Carr completed 18 of 36 passes for just 158 yards. He averaged 4.4 yards per attempt. Carr did throw one touchdown, but also turned the ball over twice. He threw one interception and lost a fumble. Carr actually fumbled twice during the contest, but the Raiders were able to recover one of the loose balls. Carr wasn't much of a threat on the ground, picking up 6 rushing yards on three attempts. 

In his rookie season, Carr wound up starting all 16 games for Oakland. He finished with 21 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. Carr threw for 3,270 yards. 

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had a rough game Week 17 against the Rams.

Wilson completed 17 of 25 passes for 239 yards. He did not throw any touchdowns, but did toss one interception during the contest. Wilson was under constant pressure, taking three sacks. He was often forced to throw the ball away when he was able to elude the pass rush. When he did have time, Wilson was able to hit on some big plays. He averaged 9.6 yards per completion. Wilson had six carries, but gained just 7 rushing yards. He also fumbled twice, though the Seahawks managed to recover both balls.

Wilson had a solid third season, setting career-highs in both passing and rushing yards. While he saw his passing touchdowns fall from 26 to 20, Wilson made up for that with a career-high six rushing scores. 

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford went 20 for 41 for 217 yards and three touchdowns in Detroit's loss to the Packers Sunday.

Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson hooked up for two of his touchdowns, one for 20 yards and the other for four.

Stafford finished off his day finding running back Theo Riddick for a dump off touchdown pass at the end of the fourth quarter.

Stafford finishes the regular season 4,257 yards and 22 touchdowns. It is his fourth consecutive season over 4,000 passing yards and fourth straight with at least 20 passing touchdowns.

Stafford and the Lions will head to Dallas to take on the Cowboys in the wild card round of the NFC playoffs.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 226 yards on 17 for 22 passing for two touchdowns as well as a rushing touchdown in Green Bay's 30-20 win over the Lions. 

Despite being hampered by a calf injury, which caused him to miss two series, Rodgers was efficient passing down the field. He connected with wide receiver Randall Cobb from four yards out and immediately fell to the ground, grabbing at his leg.

Rodgers would return to the field in the second half and find Cobb again over the middle, who dove into the end zone for a touchdown. 

The 31-year-old sealed the win on a quarterback sneak on the goal line for a touchdown.

He finishes the regular season with 4,381 passing yards and 38 touchdowns.

The Packers next game will be in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was able to return to the field after re-aggrevating his calf injury in the first half.

Rodgers limped off the field at the end of the first half after throwing a touchdown pass to Randall Cobb. He was then carted to the locker room for further examination on his calf.

Rodgers missed two series for the Packers with the injury.

Vikings second-year wideout Adam Thielen entered Sunday with just five catches for 69 yards on the season. He nearly doubled those totals in the win over Chicago.

Thielen caught three passes for 68 yards and contributed a 44-yard touchdown reception from Teddy Bridgewater in the third quarter.

His efforts led an otherwise mediocre performance by the wide receivers. Also contributing were Greg Jennings (3-45), Jarius Wright (3-25) and Charles Johnson (2-22).

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers left the game late in the first half after throwing a touchdown pass to Randall Cobb. Rodgers scrambled in the pocket and pulled up as he threw the ball into the end zone for the score.

He stayed down on the ground for a few moments before being helped off the field by trainers with a calf injury. 

Rodgers was then carted off the field and taken to the locker room. He is questionable to return to the game.

He has 97 passing yards and one touchdown.

Backup Matt Flynn came on to take over for Rodgers.

It was the first time this season Smith was able to throw multiple touchdown passes in a game without throwing an interception. He also completed 20 of his 25 pass attempts.
