Andy Dalton Has Record-Setting Performance

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was productive despite his team falling to the Seahawks on Sunday, going 35-for-51 for two touchdowns and a career-high 418 yards.

Patrick Mahomes Dealing With Sprained Ankle

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle in the Week 1 blowout win over the Jaguars, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Baker Mayfield Has A Bruised Wrist

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (wrist) suffered a bruised wrist in the Week 1 loss to the Titans and underwent X-rays at the stadium before having his right wrist taped.

Sam Darnold Quiet Against Bills

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold completed 28 of 41 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Bills Sunday.

Cam Newton Goes Without Touchdown In Week 1

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton failed to lead his team past the Rams in Week 1.

It was still […]

Brian Flores Says Ryan Fitzpatrick Will Remain Starter

Even after getting pulled in the second half of a 59-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will keep his job for at least one more week, according to Miami head coach Brian Flores.

Case Keenum Impressive In Week 1

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum had himself a day against the Philadelphia Eagles. Keenum's final line for Week 1 was 30 completions on 45 attempts, 380 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers.

Gardner Minshew Throws Pair Of Touchdowns In Debut

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew wasn't supposed to see serious minutes in the team's season-opening loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but a shoulder injury to quarterback Nick Foles led to Minshew playing the final three quarters.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was pulled in the second half of the Week 1 game against the Ravens after going 14-for-29 for 185 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Cam Robinson Could Miss A Few Weeks

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson (knee), who hyperextended his right knee in practice this week, could miss up to a few weeks, according to a source.
