Love completed 20 of 33 passes for 212 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles. He added two rushes for 10 yards.

Love was without some of his top pass-catching options for significant portions of the game and was also dealing with a beat-up offensive line. Even with that context, it was a disappointing showing, highlighted by an interception shortly before halftime that denied the Packers a potential scoring opportunity. Love did find some rhythm in the second half, as he completed 11 of his 18 passes for 142 yards, though it wasn't enough to complete the comeback bid. He'll enter the offseason looking to get healthy after enduring a 2024 season that included both upper- and lower-body injuries, and he'll be back to lead the Packers' offense once again in 2025.

Hurts completed 13 of 21 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers. He added 36 rushing yards on six carries.

The Philly offense didn't need to do too much on a day when an injury-ravaged Green Bay passing game had trouble making anything happen, but Hurts picked his spots. The QB hit Jahan Dotson for an 11-yard score on the Eagles' first possession, then connected with Dallas Goedert for a 24-yard TD late in the second quarter. Hurts has an 8:0 TD:INT over his last five full games, not counting the Week 16 contest from which he exited early, and he appears fully recovered from his concussion heading into the divisional round.

Allen completed 20 of 26 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns while adding 46 rushing yards on eight carries in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round win over the Broncos. He also threw a two-point conversion to Keon Coleman.

The Bills' defense was the true star of the victory, completely shutting down the visitors after Denver scored a TD on its first possession, but Allen put the game away in the second half, connecting with Ty Johnson on a 24-yard score late in the third quarter and with Curtis Samuel on a 55-yard touchdown early in the fourth. After putting together an MVP-caliber regular season, Allen is still firing on all cylinders heading into a divisional-round clash with the Ravens.

Nix completed 13 of 22 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown and added a team-high 43 rushing yards on four carries in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round loss to the Bills.

The rookie quarterback came out of the gates firing, connecting with Troy Franklin on a 43-yard TD on Denver's first possession, but the game was dominated by Buffalo after that. Nix wrapped up a successful first pro season with 3,775 passing yards, a 66.3 percent completion rate and a 29:12 TD:INT over 17 regular-season appearances, while also contributing 430 rushing yards and four more scores on the ground. The Broncos appear to have found their new franchise QB with the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and with Courtland Sutton, Franklin and Marvin Mims forming a intriguing trio of wideouts all under contract for 2025, Nix's numbers figure to improve as he grows more familiar with Sean Payton's offense.

Jackson completed 16 of 21 pass attempts for 175 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 81 yards on 15 carries in Saturday's 28-14 wild-card round win over the Steelers.

Jackson had his squad sitting pretty at halftime after throwing a pair of touchdown strikes to help build a 21-0 lead that Baltimore would never relinquish. The dual-threat quarterback wasn't needed much in the second half outside of some drive-extending rushes, finishing with modest fantasy numbers in a convincing victory. The 175 passing yards is his third-lowest mark this season. Expect Jackson to be leaned on more in the divisional round.

Wilson completed 20 of 29 passes for 270 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Saturday's 28-14 loss to the Ravens. He added three rushes for six yards.

Wilson struggled to close the regular season and that carried over into the first half of Saturday's playoff matchup. Things turned around in the second half for him, however, as he aired the ball out with the Steelers down multiple scores and tallied six completions of more than 20 yards. That included a pair of long passing scores that went for 36 and 30 yards to George Pickens and Van Jefferson, respectively. Despite that fairly impressive close to the campaign, Wilson lost five straight games as the leader of the Steelers offense, and he totaled just seven touchdowns while averaging only 6.4 yards per attempt in that span. That sets him up for an intriguing offseason, as he enters free agency clearly on the back end of his career but still capable of orchestrating an effective offense at times.

Stroud completed 22 of 33 passes for 282 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers. He added six rushes for 42 yards.

Stroud took some time to get the offense moving, as a lost fumble by John Metchie and an interception ended a few of Houston's drives early on. However, Stroud hit his stride on a possession late in the second quarter, connecting on long passes of 34 and 37 yards before delivering a 13-yard touchdown to Nico Collins. That was his only score of the game, but Stroud put together an efficient performance the rest of the way to earn the second postseason victory of his career.

Herbert completed 14 of 32 pass attempts for 242 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions with no rushing stats in Saturday's wild-card round loss to the Texans.

Herbert picked an inopportune time to have the worst passing game of his promising career, as Saturday's four-pick performance was the primary cause of the Chargers' season coming to an abrupt end. The 26-year-old is now 0-2 in two career playoff appearances, which comes on the heels of a solid regular season (3,870-23-3) in head coach Jim Harbaugh's first season with Los Angeles. Herbert and the Chargers' more-balanced offense will have to regroup for the 2025 campaign despite finishing the season well ahead of franchise expectations.

Allen (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

As the Steelers' emergency quarterback Saturday, Allen will be allowed to see the field only if both starter Russell Wilson and backup Justin Fields were to be taken out of the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Stick (coach's decision) is inactive and serving as the Chargers' emergency third quarterback for Saturday's wild-card matchup against Houston.

Stick was frequently Los Angeles' emergency third QB on gamedays during the regular season, and he'll serve in that role in the opening contest of the playoffs Saturday. The veteran signal-caller can only enter against the Texans if both Justin Herbert and Taylor Heinicke are unable to play due to injury, illness or ejection.
