Skylar Thompson Leads Dolphins To Week 18 Win

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson had an uninspiring Week 18 in which he went 20-for-31 with 152 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Despite his subpar stats, Thompson deserves credit for orchestrating three scoring drives and leading Miami to a win. The victory punched the Dolphins' ticket to the playoffs, where they hope to have […]

Josh Allen Tosses Three Touchdowns In Week 18

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen came ready to play during Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the New England Patriots.

David Blough Throws Two Interceptions In Loss

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills threw a season-high three touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts, completing 22-of-38 pass attempts for 298 yards. He was picked off twice and added six rushing yards. It was arguably the best game of Mills' season, though a pick-six does mar the stat line somewhat. Mills heads into […]

Andy Dalton Game-Manages In Week 18 Loss

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton had a lackluster performance on a day where the Saints lost in a 10-7 defensive battle. Dalton went 15-for-25 for 171 yards and a touchdown in the loss and carried the ball once for a two yard gain. It was likely the last start for Dalton as the Saints' […]

Joe Burrow Does Enough To Lead Cincy To Another Win

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow didn't have the best game of his career in the Week 18 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The signal-caller threw 215 yards and only one touchdown while completing 25 of his 42 passing attempts. Fortunately, he still did enough to lead Cincinnati to its eighth consecutive win.

Carson Wentz Inactive For Season Finale

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz is a healthy scratch for Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Nathan Peterman Returns Sunday, Tim Boyle Benched

Chicago Bears quarterback Nathan Peterman has returned to Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, sending Tim Boyle back to the bench.

Nick Mullens Relieves Kirk Cousins Sunday

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been pulled from Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
