  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Quiet night in lopsided loss

    Hurts completed 18 of 27 passes for 197 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Eagles' 33-13 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night. He also rushed five times for 30 yards and lost a fumble.

    The Eagles were seemingly behind the eight-ball right out of the gate Sunday night, with the Cowboys jumping out to a 10-0 lead through one quarter and adding another pair of touchdowns in the second quarter. That made Philadelphia's game plan increasingly predictable and allowed Dallas to make Hurts and the Eagles offense work for every yard. Hurts was sacked just once on the night, but he short-circuited an early drive at the Cowboys' 20-yard line with a fumble at the conclusion of an 11-yard scramble that ultimately led to a Cowboys field goal. Hurts' passing yardage total was his fourth under 200 yards this season, and it was only his second instance of going without a touchdown pass on the campaign as well. Hurts should have an opportunity of bouncing back in a Week 15 Monday night road matchup versus the Seahawks on Dec. 18.

  • Dak Prescott QB | DAL

    Cowboys' Dak Prescott: Cruises to victory over rival

    Prescott completed 24 of 39 pass attempts for 271 yards and two touchdowns while adding 11 rushing yards on three attempts in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Eagles.

    Prescott's only blemish in the box score was a lost fumble off of a strip sack that resulted in the Eagles' lone touchdown on Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys had built enough of a lead that his turnover didn't threaten the final lopsided result. The 30-year-old otherwise cruised against a defense that usually gives opposing quarterbacks fits, uncharacteristically taking the top off Philadelphia's coverage on several deep completions. Prescott has been rolling since returning from Dallas' Week 7 bye, averaging 310.3 passing yards with multiple touchdowns thrown in all seven starts during that span. The red-hot quarterback met little resistance against the first opponent of a brutal four-week schedule, with a road matchup against the Bills representing the second challenge next Sunday.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Just one TD in Sunday's loss

    Mahomes completed 25 of 43 passes for 271 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

    He also added eight rushing yards on his only carry. Mahomes did hit Rashee Rice for a four-yard score in the third quarter, but for the second straight game the QB was held to just one TD pass -- the first time since Weeks 12-13 of last season that Mahomes has gone consecutive contests without throwing multiple touchdowns. His longest such streak is three games, set back in 2019, and he'll look to avoid matching it in Week 15 against the Patriots.

  • Drew Lock QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Drew Lock: Late turnovers doom upset bid

    Lock completed 22 of 31 pass attempts for 269 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the 49ers.

    Lock got the nod under center after starter Geno Smith (groin) was officially ruled out after attempting to warm up unsuccessfully prior to Sunday's kickoff. The backup performed admirably in a pinch, especially considering the difficulty of opponent he was asked to start against. Lock actually had the Seahawks within striking distance of the NFC's new No. 1 seed to begin the fourth quarter, but he promptly threw two interceptions, and Seattle wore its seventh loss of the season. Given the fact that Smith had a shot to play Sunday, there is a good chance Lock resumes his backup role against the Eagles next Monday.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Scores 10th rushing TD

    Allen completed 23 of 42 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown with an interception while adding 32 rushing yards and another score on 10 carries in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.

    His six-yard scamper in the second quarter gave the sixth-year QB his 10th rushing touchdown of the season, a new career high. Allen's first-quarter strike to James Cook was also his 25th passing TD of the year, and he's produced multiple scores in 12 straight games dating back to Week 2. Allen will face another tough test in a Week 15 home matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Rams' Matthew Stafford: Excels in tough matchup

    Stafford completed 23 of 41 passes for 294 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 37-31 loss to the Ravens.

    Stafford successfully kept pace with Lamar Jackson throughout the matchup. He threw for at least three touchdowns in his third consecutive game, and Sunday's scores went to three different receivers from seven, six and five yards away. Even in rainy conditions and a tough matchup, Stafford also managed to push the ball down the field effectively, as he completed six passes of at least 20 yards. He should be in a good position to build on his strong recent form in a Week 15 matchup against a Commanders defense that has struggled to defend the pass for much of the campaign.

  • Jared Goff QB | DET

    Lions' Jared Goff: Rough performance against Bears

    Goff completed 20 of 35 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Bears.

    Goff turned in a decent first half, the highlight of which came on an eight-yard touchdown pass to Josh Reynolds just prior to halftime. Things fell apart from there, however, as he managed only 68 passing yards on 19 attempts in the final two quarters as the Bears pulled away. The performance ended a four-game streak in which Goff had thrown for multiple touchdowns and also marked the first time that he's failed to throw for 200 yards in a matchup this season. He'll face a Denver defense in Week 15 that has not allowed a quarterback to throw for multiple touchdowns in six consecutive games.

  • Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Quiet in shutout loss

    O'Connell completed 21 of 32 passes for 171 yards with an interception in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.

    In the NFL's lowest-scoring game since 2007, O'Connell struggled to get the Raiders past midfield most of the afternoon, and the team's one trip to the red zone ended on a Hunter Renfrow fumble. It's the first time since Week 9 that the rookie quarterback has failed to throw a touchdown, but O'Connell's 3:5 TD:INT since taking over as Las Vegas' starter illustrates his struggles. The Raiders' passing game gets a better matchup in Week 15 against the Chargers.

  • Nick Mullens QB | JAC

    Vikings' Nick Mullens: Takes over at QB in Sunday's win

    Mullens completed nine of 13 passes for 83 yards in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders after replacing Joshua Dobbs under center in the fourth quarter.

    Mullens led Minnesota to the game's only points on his second possession after taking over for Dobbs, putting together a 56-yard drive for the Vikings' only trip into the red zone and setting up a 36-yard Greg Joseph field goal. Dobbs has played poorly two games in a row, so Mullens seems likely to make his first NFL start since he was a member of the Browns in 2021 when Minnesota heads to Cincinnati in Week 15.

  • Joshua Dobbs QB | NE

    Vikings' Joshua Dobbs: Benched in Week 14 win

    Dobbs completed 10 of 23 passes for 63 yards and added 21 rushing yards on five carries before being replaced by Nick Mullens in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders.

    It was the lowest-scoring game in the NFL since 2007, and Mullens led Minnesota to the only scoring drive on his second possession after taking over, taking the Vikings 56 yards for their only trip into the red zone to set up a 36-yard Greg Joseph field goal. With Dobbs having posted poor numbers two games in a row, Mullens seems very likely to get his first start of the season in Week 15 against the Bengals.
