Zach Wilson Struggles In A Passing Offense In Week 8

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson struggled in what suddenly became a pass-heavy offense in Week 8 against the New England Patriots.

He also took two […]

Wilson went 18-for-30 for 252 yards, one touchdown and an interception while taking three sacks. He also ran the ball […]

Sam Ehlinger Quiet In First Career Start

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger made his first career start against the Washington Commanders in Week 8. The 24-year-old continued to dink and dunk much like Matt Ryan has been doing in recent weeks. He completed 17-of-23 passing attempts for 201 yards in the loss.

Davis Mills Struggles Against Titans

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was 17-for-29 for 152 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans, throwing one touchdown while also getting picked off. Mills also added eight rushing yards.

Malik Willis Posts Just 55 Passing Yards

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis attempted just 10 passes in the win over the Houston Texans, completing six of them for 55 yards and one interception. It's no surprise the Titans simply leaned on Derrick Henry, who posted 200-plus rushing yards and two-plus touchdowns for the fourth time in his last four games against the […]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton helped snap his team's two-game losing streak on Sunday in the win over the Raiders.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-36 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns while adding 22 yards and another score on the ground.

Jared Goff Throws For 321 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 27 of his 37 passing attempts for 321 yards and one touchdown in the 31-27 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Trevor Lawrence Throws Two Interceptions In Week 8 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 18 of his 31 attempts for only 133 yards and one touchdown while throwing two interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. The second-year quarterback continues to struggle with red-zone turnovers as his first interception came at the one-yard line. Lawrence now has three games where he's turned […]

Joe Flacco Inactive In Week 8

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.

Now, it appears Flacco has lost his backup job to Mike […]
