Stafford completed 18 of 25 passes for 249 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Cardinals.

Neither offense could get much going, and when the Rams did get close to the end zone they relied on their ground game to punch in the ball. Stafford had thrown at least one TD in 23 straight games to begin his tenure in Los Angeles, including last year's playoff run to a Super Bowl title, and he'll look to begin a new streak in Week 4 on the road against the 49ers.

Mariota completed 13 of 20 passes for 229 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Seahawks. He added seven rushes for four yards and an additional score but fumbled twice, losing one.

Mariota capped off the Falcons' first offensive possession with a one-yard touchdown run and continued to move the ball efficiently throughout the first half. Atlanta scored on its first three drives of the game as Mariota connected with Kyle Pitts early and often. However, Mariota ended the half on a sour note by throwing an ill-advised pass that was picked off by Tariq Woolen on the final play before halftime. Nonetheless, the offense regained the momentum to start the third quarter, cruising into field-goal range, but a false start and a strip-sack stalled the Falcons' first drive of the second half, forcing them to settle for a 54-yard field goal. On Atlanta's next drive, Cordarrelle Patterson rushed for 58 yards on two carries to set up a 14-yard touchdown pass to Drake London. When it looked like Falcons' offense was going to ice the game with another long drive, Mariota mishandled a read-option play and lost a fumble that almost set up a game-winning touchdown drive for the Seahawks. Aside from a trio of turnover-worthy plays and perhaps a missed deep shot or two, Mariota was efficient while leading Atlanta's revamped offense to a third straight contest with at least 25 points.

Rodgers completed 27 of 35 passes for 255 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Buccaneers.

Rodgers started the game hot, throwing a pair of touchdowns to Romeo Doubs and Allen Lazard by the midway point of the second quarter. However, a subsequent fumble after a reception by Aaron Jones halted Green Bay's momentum prior to halftime, and Rodgers later threw an interception during the second half. Despite the Packers struggling to move the ball after halftime, Rodgers still managed his highest passing yardage of the early campaign, building some chemistry with the rookie Doubs along the way. The back-to-back league MVP will now turn his attention toward Week 4's matchup versus the Patriots.

Lawrence completed 28 of 39 passes for 262 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Chargers.

The second-year QB put together one of the best performances of his young career, hitting all three of his top wideouts (Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones and Zay Jones) for scores while also tossing a two-point conversion to Evan Engram. Lawrence is thriving under new head coach Doug Pederson, posting a 6:1 TD:INT through the first three games of 2022, but he'll likely need to stay productive in Week 4 if the Jaguars are going to stay competitive on the road against Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.

Jones is slated for an MRI on Monday on the ankle that he injured during Sunday's 37-26 loss to the Ravens, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

While X-rays returned negative after the game, there's concern that Jones picked up a high-ankle sprain or some sort of tendon or ligament damage, according to Michael Giardi of NFL Network. Jones had a mediocre Week 3 performance, completing 22 of 32 passes for 321 yards and three interceptions to go with five carries for 31 yards and one touchdown. If Jones is forced to miss any time, Brian Hoyer is next in line to take over the Patriots offense.

Fields completed eight of 17 passes for 106 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Texans. He added 47 rushing yards on eight attempts.

Fields narrowly avoided disaster by recovering his own fumble on Chicago's first offensive play and ended up setting up an opening-drive field goal with a 29-yard scramble later in the drive. Chicago continued to find success on the ground, even after David Montgomery (knee/ankle) left the game, but Fields' struggles throwing the ball persisted. He was intercepted late in the first quarter and again early in the fourth, but it was a Davis Mills interception that proved to be decisive, as it set up Chicago's game-winning field goal as time expired. Fields has thrown for just 297 yards through three starts heading into a Week 4 road matchup with the Giants.

Winston (back/ankle) completed 25 of 41 passes for 353 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 22-14 loss to Carolina. He added five rushing yards on two attempts.

Winston has looked hindered by his injuries over the past two games, as he failed to lead the Saints to any points in the first half before accumulating plenty of second-half yardage as New Orleans went pass-heavy while playing catch-up. Winston's four-yard touchdown pass to Marquez Callaway with 2:22 remaining made it a one-possession game, but his fifth interception in the last two games dashed any hopes of a New Orleans comeback. He'll bring an uninspiring 4:5 TD:INT across the pond for the Saints' Week 4 game against the Vikings in London.

X-Rays on Jones' ankle following Sunday's 37-26 loss to the Ravens, were negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

That said, the QB's ankle will continue to be evaluated, so Jones' status for next Sunday's game against the Packers will be worth monitoring. If he's forced to miss practice reps this coming week, Brian Hoyer would be next in line to handle New England's signal-caller reps.

Jackson completed 18 of 29 passes for 218 yards with four touchdowns and one interception, adding 107 yards and another score on 11 rushes in Sunday's 37-26 win over the Patriots.

Jackson continued the stellar start to his contract season with another lights-out effort that saw him essentially single-handedly topple a resilient Patriots team on the road. Jackson connected with Mark Andrews from five and 16 yards out in the first half for his first pair of scoring tosses before finding Josh Oliver and Devin Duvernay for the latter two touchdown passes, the final one a spectacular play in the right corner of the end zone. Factoring in a nine-yard scoring scamper with three minutes remaining that sealed the game for Baltimore, it was a spectacular fantasy performance for Jackson, who now has 12 total touchdowns through three games. Jackson now turns his sights to a Week 4 showdown at home against Josh Allen and the Bills.

Mahomes completed 20 of 35 passes for 262 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Chiefs' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 26 yards.

The star signal-caller was unable to work his magic Sunday against a desperate Colts team looking for its first win. Mahomes did display some good rapport with his top two wideouts in JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, hitting the duo on nine occasions for 137 yards on 15 targets. Mahomes also connected with Travis Kelce for his one touchdown pass from three yards out late in the first quarter. However, Mahomes was directly responsible for short-circuiting his team's final chance at a win, as his final pass of the day, intended for Smith-Schuster, was picked off by Rodney McLeod at the Colts' 36-yard line with two seconds remaining. Mahomes will look to regroup in time for a Week 4 road showdown against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.
