Brosmer completed seven of eight passes for 57 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers. He did lose a fumble.

J.J. McCarthy (hand) left the game in the third quarter and didn't return, putting Brosmer under center to finish out the season for the Vikings. The undrafted rookie appeared in eight games overall as McCarthy battled injuries, and Brosmer wound up completing 66.2 percent of his passes (47-for-71) for 328 yards, albeit with zero TDs and five turnovers -- four INTs and Sunday's lost fumble. Minnesota still seems committed to McCarthy as its QB of the future, but given his inability to stay healthy, the team may look to bring in a more established backup in the offseason rather than relying on Brosmer to fill that role in 2026.

Dart completed 22 of 32 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns while rushing five times for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He finishes his rookie season with 2,272 passing yards and a 15:5 TD:INT, as well as 487 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns in 14 games (12 starts).

Dart showed plenty of promise in his rookie campaign, thriving as a runner and making many impressive throws despite working with an injury-riddled supporting cast. He threw touchdown passes of 29 yards to Daniel Bellinger and 13 yards to Tyrone Tracy as the Giants notched their fourth and final win of the 2025 regular season. The Giants will have an early pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but they are unlikely to draft a quarterback, so Dart's expected to head into his sophomore season as the team's starter under center.

Pitts secured six of nine targets for 58 yards in the Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

The veteran tight end played a key role in a Falcons victory that made the Panthers the NFC South champions in the process, leading the way in both receptions and targets on the afternoon while also securing the ball on New Orleans' last-ditch onside-kick attempt. Pitts' Week 18 performance put a fitting cap on a strong stretch run that saw him record at least six receptions and 57 yards in five of his final six games. Pitts wrapped up the 2025 regular season with a well-timed 88-928-5 receiving line across 17 games, and both his reception and touchdown totals qualified as career-high figures with unrestricted free agency looming this offseason.

Brooks carries the ball 13 times for 61 yards in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings.

The No. 3 running back on the Green Bay depth chart saw his most extensive action of the season as the team rested Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle) ahead of the playoffs, and Brooks wound up leading the Packers in rushing yards despite seeing less volume than Emanuel Wilson. Brooks came into the game with just 14 carries for 45 yards on the season, so he's unlikely to make any kind of impact in the wild-card round.

Wilson carried the ball 18 times for 44 yards and caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 16-3 loss to Minnesota.

The Packers rested key players ahead of the playoffs, including Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle), but Wilson wound up being outgained by Chris Brooks out of the backfield as the team deployed a ground-heavy attack. Wilson has seen no more than four carries in four of the last five games, so he isn't likely to have a big role in the wild-card round. The third-year RB wraps up the regular season with 496 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 125 carries.

Whittington (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register, Whittington came out of the blue medical tent with a brace on his right knee and was testing it out before eventually being taken to the locker room. Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell would be in line for more snaps on offense if Whittington is unable to return, and in that scenario, Blake Corum would also serve as the Rams' primary returner on kickoffs.

London secured four of eight targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Despite managing his ongoing knee issue, London set the pace for the Falcons in receiving yards on the afternoon while checking in second in both receptions and targets. The talented wideout added his seventh touchdown catch of the season on a 15-yard grab with just over three minutes remaining in the first quarter. London was on pace for a career-best season before his injury cost him four games, but he still wrapped up his fourth campaign with a 68-919-7 line across 12 contests while averaging a career-high 13.5 yards per reception.

Tune completed six of 11 passes for 34 yards without a touchdowns or an interception in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings. He added 23 rushing yards on four carries.

With Jordan Love and Malik Willis (shoulder/hamstring) being held out ahead of the playoffs, Tune made his second career NFL start but wasn't called upon to do too much, as the Packers focused on their ground game. Tune, a fifth-round pick of the Cardinals in 2023, will likely return to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart in the wild-card round next weekend.

Jackson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Jackson had to be helped off the field after sustaining an ankle injury and couldn't put much weight on his leg, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Deane Leonard and Benjamin St-Juste are in line for more snaps in the secondary for as long as Jackson is out of the game.

Lawrence completed 22 of 30 passes for 255 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Titans. He added two rushes for 11 yards.

Lawrence helped the Jaguars clinch the AFC South with minimal drama, leading three touchdown drives in the first half. He completed each with a throwing score, coming from 23, seven and five yards, respectively, before being pulled with around 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. While the Titans were a particularly soft matchup, Lawrence has finished the regular season in strong form while accounting for multiple touchdowns in seven consecutive games. He'll now turn his attention to the postseason, with the Jaguars guaranteed a top-three seed in the AFC.
