Jones completed 24 of 35 passes for 194 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets. He added 19 yards on seven rushing attempts.

Jones benefited from a quintessential Jets-Patriots moment late in the first half, as a controversial roughing the passer penalty erased a would-be pick-six that would have put the Jets up 17-3. New England instead got its second field goal on that drive to take a 10-6 deficit into the locker room. On the preceding possession, a questionable Jets unnecessary roughness penalty helped New England drive down to New York's 21-yard line, but Jones threw incomplete on 4th-and-1. Jones got a far better result on 4th-and-1 early in the third, finding Jakobi Meyers for a five-yard touchdown to take the lead. New England's defense led the way from there as the Patriots improved to 4-4. Jones was more lucky than good in this one, but he likely did enough to keep backup Bailey Zappe on the bench in Week 9 against the Colts.

Walker completed 19 of 36 passes for 317 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to Atlanta. He added a 20-yard scramble on his only rushing attempt.

Walker was dreadful in the first half, completing only six of 15 passes for 67 yards and throwing a pick-six in the final minute before halftime. He heated up in the second half and appeared to produce the game-winning play by finding DJ Moore for a 62-yard Hail Mary touchdown with 12 seconds left. Carolina subsequently missed the game-winning PAT attempt and a game-winning field-goal try in overtime, wasting Walker's bounce-back effort before Atlanta converted the game-winning kick. Despite coming up short in this one, Walker likely did enough to maintain the starting job in Week 9 against the Bengals.

Murray completed 31 of 44 passes for 326 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Cardinals' 34-26 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed six times for 36 yards and fumbled once but recovered.

The Cardinals played from behind throughout the contest, so Murray was able to put together a solid performance via sheer volume and some solid runs after catch from his receivers. He unsurprisingly focused the most on DeAndre Hopkins, whom he connected with on 12 of 13 targets for 159 yards and a six-yard, second-quarter touchdown. Murray's other scoring tosses went to Zach Ertz (eight yards) and Rondale Moore (38 yards), giving the star signal-caller his first three-touchdown tally through the air this season. Murray's 300-yard effort was his first since Week 3. and despite the fact he couldn't put Arizona in position to tie the game when he was sacked on back-to-back plays on the Cardinals' final possession, he'll have some momentum going into a Week 9 NFC West clash against the Seahawks.

Goff completed 27 of 37 passes for 321 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Lions' 31-27 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed once for three yards.

Goff and the Lions offense opened the game hot with a pair of first-quarter scoring drives, the second which the veteran quarterback capped with a seven-yard pass to D'Andre Swift. That would end up being Goff's only touchdown toss of the day, but his yardage total was his second highest of the campaign. Goff also couldn't successfully complete a deep pass to Josh Reynolds on 4th-and-1 from the Dolphins' 35-yard line with 2:59 remaining, and he never got another opportunity with the ball due to his defense failing to force a punt from Miami. Goff will look to build on his strong production in a Week 9 home showdown against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Wilson completed 20 of 41 passes for 355 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots. He added two rushing yards on one attempt.

Wilson set up a first-quarter field goal with a 54-yard deep ball to Garrett Wilson, then gave New York a 10-3 lead in the second with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Conklin. He threw a costly interception with New York driving in the final minute of the first half, as that play coupled with a Jets pick-six erased by a shoddy penalty call allowed New England to cut New York's lead to 10-6 heading into halftime. Wilson was intercepted two more times in the second half as the Patriots began to pull away from the demoralized Jets, and his nine-yard touchdown pass to Conklin late in the fourth was too little too late. It was encouraging to see Wilson throw for a season-high 355 yards after totaling 231 yards over the previous two games, but he'll need to cut down on the turnovers to give his team a chance in Week 9 against the AFC East-leading Bills.

Carr completed 15 of 26 passes for 101 yards and an interception in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.

Carr was without tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) but saw fellow targets Davante Adams and Mack Hollins clear respective injury concerns to suit up. Still, the signal-caller struggled mightily, totaling the third-lowest passing yardage of his nine-year career. With Adams gaining merely three yards through the air, both he and Carr will strive to atone in Week 9 versus the Jaguars.

Tagovailoa completed 29 of 36 passes for 382 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 19 yards on five rushes in the Dolphins' 31-27 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Tagovailoa opened the game hot and rarely let up, taking advantage of the highly porous Lions defense to help claw Miami back from an early 14-0 deficit. The third-year pro hit Jaylen Waddle with touchdown passes of five and 29 yards in the first and second quarters, respectively, and he capped off the scoring late in the third quarter with an 11-yard strike to Mike Gesicki. Meanwhile, although he didn't have any end-zone connections with Tyreek Hill, he targeted the perennial Pro Bowler a team-high 14 times, connecting with him on 12 of those occasions for 188 yards. Sunday's stellar effort, despite the caliber of competition, served as a tangible reminder of Tagovailoa's outstanding chemistry with his two top receivers and command of head coach Mike McDaniel's offense. With his first 300-yard-plus/multi-touchdown tally since Week 2, Tagovailoa heads into a Week 9 road matchup against the Bears with an abundance of momentum.

Dalton completed 22 of 30 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Raiders.

Dalton found tailback Alvin Kamara on both of his scores. Without any turnovers or sacks, it was a clean performance from the veteran signal-caller, who was picked off three times in the Week 7 defeat to the Cardinals. On the back of his first multi-touchdown win as a Saint, Dalton has helped his stock ahead of his upcoming matchup versus the Ravens.

Lawrence completed 18 of 31 passes for 133 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos. He added three rushes for 15 yards.

Lawrence had a tough task facing one of the best secondaries in the league, but the results were particularly ugly. He averaged only 4.3 yards per attempt and threw multiple interceptions in a game for only the second time this season -- one of which came at Denver's goal line. After starting the campaign with multiple touchdown passes in three of the team's first four games, Lawrence has now failed to do so in four consecutive matchups.

Wilson completed 18 of 30 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Jaguars. He added four rushes for 17 yards.

In contrast to Denver's Week 6 loss, Wilson got off to a slow start in Sunday's win, as he had 19 passing yards and an interception through the team's first three offensive possessions. However, he managed to effectively distribute the ball from there, particularly to Jerry Jeudy and Greg Dulcich while also finding KJ Hamler for a 47-yard gain to set up the game-winning touchdown. Wilson has still managed multiple touchdowns in a game only once this season, but he managed 8.4 yards per attempt -- his second-highest mark of the campaign.
