Mariota completed 10 of 19 passes for 211 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants. He added 43 rushing yards on 10 carries and committed two fumbles, losing one.

The Commanders leaned heavily on their ground attack for offense and also benefitted from a punt return TD by Jaylin Lane, but Mariota did hit Terry McLaurin for a 51-yard score in the fourth quarter to help put the game away. Washington's already eliminated from the playoffs and has little reason to rush Jayden Daniels (elbow) back into the lineup, but Mariota and his 10:7 TD:INT through 10 games is still just a placeholder for the second-year QB heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Eagles.

Brown had 13 carries for 53 yards and added seven catches for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Ravens.

Brown's day was a good representation of the Bengals' afternoon against the Ravens' defense. His longest play from scrimmage was 10 yards, and his longest reception went for seven yards. Meanwhile, teammate Samaje Perine left with an ankle injury but returned in time for the Bengals' final drive. Brown should carry a heavy workload next week against Miami.

Allen completed 19 of 28 passes for 193 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed 11 times for 48 yards in the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

The Bills were in dire straits after a sluggish first half, as they went into the halftime locker room with a 24-7 deficit. However, as has often been the case this season, Allen donned his proverbial Superman cape with a significant assist from sidekick James Cook, who was on the receiving end of a five-yard scoring toss from Allen for Buffalo's only first-half points. Allen added four- and 14-yard touchdown passes to Dawson Knox in the second half, finishing with his second consecutive three-TD tally. The Bills naturally improved their chances of catching the Patriots for the AFC East crown with the successful rally, and Allen will aim to carry over the momentum into a Week 16 road matchup against an aggressive Myles Garrett-led Browns pass rush next Sunday.

Andrews caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.

The Ravens defense dominated, which didn't leave much for Lamar Jackson and the passing attack to do. Andrews has caught two or fewer passes in three of the last four games, managing just an 8-83-0 line on 17 targets over that stretch, and his struggles have largely been tied to Jackson's own lack of production. The duo may need to re-establish their connection in Week 16 against the Patriots to keep Baltimore's playoff hopes alive.

Chase had 10 catches for 132 yards on 16 targets in the Bengals' 24-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. No other Bengals pass catcher had more than 37 yards receiving.

The big yardage day was bittersweet for Chase, as he didn't connect with Joe Burrow on a couple of key early plays, including one where he was open deep but Burrow checked down short of the sticks on a third-down play. With Tee Higgins (concussion) missing the game, Chase was targeted frequently but also drew the Ravens' constant attention on defense. The elite wideout's outlook for the rest of the season will be heavily dependent on whether the Bengals deem it wise to keep Burrow active now that they've been officially eliminated from postseason contention.

Mahomes suffered a left knee injury of unknown severity late in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday and had to be helped to the locker room, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. He completed 16 of 28 passes for 189 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for 15 yards and a touchdown.

Mahomes went to the ground near the right sideline after uncorking an incomplete pass on the run while taking a hit with just under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, and he was writhing in pain for several minutes before being helped to the sideline and, eventually, the locker room. Gardner Minshew replaced Mahomes and threw a game-sealing interception that officially eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention. However, Mahomes' health is naturally the overriding concern for the time being, with more information expected as to the severity following further evaluation.

Cook completed 22 of 33 passes for 176 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars. He also rushed six times for 39 yards.

Cook completed his first six passes, the last of which was a nine-yard touchdown pass to Adonai Mitchell for Cook's first NFL touchdown pass. The undrafted rookie quarterback struggled after that point, tossing three interceptions as the Jets fell to 3-11 with a lopsided loss in Cook's first NFL start. Having already been eliminated from playoff contention, the Jets may just ride Cook the rest of the way. He'll be in the mix to start in Week 16 against the Saints, but the return of Tyrod Taylor (groin) or Justin Fields (knee) would muddy the Jets' quarterback situation.

Flowers caught three of five targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.

Lamar Jackson ended up attempting only 12 passes on the day as the Ravens defense dominated, but one of those tosses went for a 28-yard TD to Flowers in the second quarter. It was the third-year wideout's first trip to the end zone since Week 1, but it continued a productive stretch for Flowers that has seen him top 60 yards in six of eight games since Baltimore's bye while compiling a 37-536-1 line on 54 targets. Flowers will likely be a little busier in Week 16 against the Patriots.

Hurts completed 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed seven times for 39 yards in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Coming off a forgettable five-turnover showing against the Chargers in a Week 14 overtime loss, Hurts was near perfect against a considerably inferior opponent. The reigning Super Bowl MVP threw two short shovel-pass TDs to Dallas Goedert before connecting with A.J. Brown from 27 yards out on the first play of the fourth quarter to close out the scoring on the afternoon. Hurts now has multiple TD tosses in two of the last three games after a three-game stretch with one or zero scoring passes, and he lines up for another potentially productive day in a Week 16 road matchup against the Commanders on Saturday afternoon.

Jackson completed eight of 12 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals. He added 26 rushing yards on two carries.

With the Ravens' defense putting together a dominant effort, Jackson didn't need to do too much more after finding Rasheen Ali and Zay Flowers for TDs in the second quarter. It's the first time Jackson has tossed multiple touchdowns since Week 9, as he'd stumbled to a 2:4 TD:INT over his prior five games, but a matchup against Cincinnati's woeful defense wasn't exactly a tough test. The two-time MVP will need to stay sharp in Week 16 against the Patriots if the Ravens are going to stay in the AFC playoff picture.
