Darnold completed 13 of 22 passes for 168 yards, two touchdowns and one interception and rushed three times for six yards during Sunday's 30-23 victory against the Chargers.

On a day in which the Seahawks rode the ground game to the tune of 33 carries, led by RB Emanuel Wilson's 21, Darnold didn't have to do much to keep the Chargers at bay. Darnold's two touchdown throws went for 23 (Wilson) and six yards (WR Tory Horton), bringing his total on the campaign to six in a little more than eight quarters of play. Darnold will be seeking to bounce back in terms of yardage, at least, next Sunday versus the 49ers.

Willis completed nine of 17 passes for 85 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings. He added 11 yards on two carries and lost a fumble.

It was a miserable day for the Miami passing game against Brian Flores' defense, as Willis wasn't able to find receivers downfield -- his longest completion went for just 17 yards to Malik Washington -- or escape the pocket to do damage with his legs. Willis has produced just two TDs (one through the air, one on the ground) through four starts against four turnovers (two INTs and two lost fumbles) while completing just 56.3 percent of his passes, but there's been no suggestion the 0-4 Dolphins will make a switch at QB ahead of a Week 5 home tilt against the Bengals.

Cousins completed 31 of 52 passes for 365 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He also threw a successful two-point conversion.

Cousins opened the scoring with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Ian Thomas in the first quarter, but his next touchdown pass didn't come until 1:46 remained in the fourth quarter, when Cousins connected with Brock Bowers for a 20-yard touchdown and added a two-point conversion to Cody White to cut the Raiders' deficit to three points. Vegas got the ball back, but Cousins was picked off on the game's penultimate play as the Raiders' comeback bid came up short. Despite Sunday's setback, Cousins has led the Raiders to a 3-1 record while posting an 11:4 TD:INT heading into a Week 5 road game against the Patriots.

Mahomes completed 15 of 30 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders. He also rushed twice for no gain.

Mahomes threw touchdown passes of two yards and eight yards to Tyquan Thornton, who exited the game in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury suffered at the end of a 55-yard catch. The Chiefs also lost Rashee Rice (hamstring) in the first half. Thornton is likely looking at a lengthy absence, but Rice has a chance to recover during Kansas City's Week 5 bye before facing the Chargers in Week 6. Mahomes has led the Chiefs to a 4-0 record while posting a 9:2 TD:INT, but the team is down to Xavier Worthy, Cyrus Allen, Jalen Royals and Nikko Remigio at wide receiver at the moment.

Purdy completed 19 of 30 passes for 218 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 10 carries for 29 yards in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Purdy performed admirably against a tough Broncos defense, and his legs helped him to yet another a sack-free afternoon despite the challenge posted by Denver's aggressive unit. Purdy didn't fire his first touchdown pass of the day until the 4:15 mark of the third quarter, hitting Deebo Samuel from one yard out to snap a 3-3 tie. The veteran signal-caller then sealed San Francisco's victory with a 56-yard scoring strike to George Kittle just before the two-minute warning, and Purdy remained free of interceptions for the third straight game. Purdy has a league-leading 11 touchdown passes and has yet to be brought down through four games, but he'll have a stiff challenge on his hands in a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Winston completed 18 of 29 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 36-24 win over Arizona.

It was a classically erratic performance from the veteran QB, who now has a 3:3 TD:INT through three appearances and two starts in place of Jaxson Dart (knee). Winston began to build some encouraging chemistry with the Giants' No. 1 wideout Malik Nabers, who produced a season-best 6-112-1 line on seven targets fueled by a couple big gains, and his tendency to put the ball up for grabs downfield could continue to benefit both Nabers and rookie Malachi Fields, whose two catches went for a 12-yard TD and a 40-yard gain. Winston will try to produce more good moments than bad in a Week 5 road tilt against the Commanders.

Brissett completed 21 of 35 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns with three interceptions in Sunday's 36-24 loss to the Giants. He added 18 yards on four carries.

The veteran QB came into Sunday with only one turnover in the first three games of the year, but Brissett's three INTs killed any chance the Cardinals might have had of stealing a win at MetLife Stadium -- his third came on the final play of the game in the Giants' red zone, as his toss to Michael Wilson instead turned into a 98-yard pick-six by Deonte Banks. Brissett will take a 6:4 INT, and a three-game losing streak, into a Week 5 clash at home with the Lions.

King (coach's decision) is inactive but will operate as the Panthers' emergency third quarterback Sunday night versus Detroit.

King will remain the team's No. 3 QB for the fourth straight week to open the 2026 campaign. The rookie will only be eligible to enter the game if both starter Bryce Young and backup Kenny Pickett are removed with injuries.

Daniels completed 19 of 27 passes for 148 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and rushed eight times for 55 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

The undrafted rookie was thrust into his first NFL start much sooner than expected thanks to Baker Mayfield's thumb injury, and all told, Daniels acquitted himself reasonably well. He unsurprisingly had his share of struggles as a passer, and in addition to his pair of picks, he also took three sacks. Daniels' two turnovers did lead to 10 total points for the Packers, but the Kansas product also provided plenty of valuable production on the ground and fired his first career touchdown to Kenny Gainwell from 10 yards out to open the fourth quarter. Daniels won't get the benefit of another full week of practice before taking the field for his second start, however, as the Bucs pay a visit to the Cowboys for a Week 5 matchup Thursday night.

Love completed 22 of 30 passes for 197 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed four times for minus-8 yards in the Packers' 17-14 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Love's final line was a serviceable one despite the low-scoring and often choppy game, and the veteran signal-caller salvaged his fantasy day with touchdown tosses of two yards each to Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft. Love spread the ball around to eight different targets overall on the afternoon, and although he's completed a career-low 56.5 percent of his passes through four games, he also boasts an 8:3 TD:INT in that span. Love next takes on the division-rival Bears in a Week 5 home matchup next Sunday.
