Bagent completed 12 of 21 passes for 87 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding three rushes for 17 yards in the Bears' 31-7 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Bagent was ultimately benched in favor of Case Keenum after his second interception of the day with under a minute remaining in the third quarter. Prior to that, he wasn't able to keep the Bears competitive on a day when Chicago's defense was consistently victimized by Jordan Love and his top two receivers, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. Bagent had put together a diametrically opposite performance in his Week 4 start against the Jets, and it appears unlikely he'll have a chance to atone for Sunday's struggles anytime soon since Caleb Williams appears to have a good chance of returning from his hamstring injury in next Sunday night's Week 6 road matchup against the Falcons.

Daniels (elbow) completed 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing nine times for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Giants. He also threw a successful two-point conversion.

Daniels wasn't afraid to run in his return from a two-game absence due to a dislocated left elbow. He scored second-half rushing touchdowns of 38 and 26 yards, the latter of which Daniels followed up with a two-point conversion to Terry McLaurin to give the Commanders a 14-point lead with 11:05 left in the fourth quarter. The Giants proceeded to erase that deficit and force OT, where Daniels drove the Commanders down to the Giants' 24-yard line with 55 seconds remaining, but Washington remarkably failed to get a game-winning field-goal attempt off, as the Commanders ran the clock down and then failed to stop the clock when Daniels went down inbounds on their final offensive play. The bizarre ending overshadows what was otherwise an encouraging performance from Daniels, who made it through the game without any physical setbacks and is set to start in Week 6 against the 49ers.

Burrow completed 23 of 32 passes for 190 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for 10 yards in the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Burrow averaged only 5.9 yards per attempt and finished with a season-low passing yardage total, but he offset the modest numbers by throwing a season-high number of touchdown passes. The prolific signal-caller benefited from having both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins available after each carried questionable designations into Sunday, and he connected with Mike Gesicki (four yards), Samaje Perine (six yards), Tanner Hudson (two yards) and Ja'Marr Chase (45 yards) four his quartet of scoring tosses. Burrow spread the ball around to nine different targets overall, and he'll take an 11:3 TD:INT into a Week 7 road matchup against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Shough completed 16 of 25 passes for 96 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Shough's final line underscores the duress he was under throughout the afternoon from an aggressive Vikings defense, even as he took just one sack. Shough nevertheless was intent on getting ball out quickly, leading to him averaging just 3.8 yards per attempt. The second-year quarterback's pair of interceptions didn't lead to any Minnesota points, but they did saddle Shough with his first multi-INT tally since Week 1. Despite Sunday's stumble, Shough and the rest of his teammates on the offensive side of the ball will have a good opportunity to bounce back in a favorable Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Murray completed 24 of 30 passes for 229 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding 10 rushes for 51 yards in the Vikings' 23-13 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

Murray completed a season-high 80.0 percent of his passes while patiently carving up the Saints defense Sunday, and the returning Justin Jefferson unsurprisingly accounted for a significant chunk of the quarterback's production through the air with a 6-79-1 line on seven targets. Murray's yardage total was his second-highest of the season as well, trailing only the 247 he generated against the Dolphins in Week 4. The 2019 first overall pick may be starting to hit his stride in head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense, and he'll to further master the scheme during a Week 6 bye before returning to action in a Week 7 home matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Smith completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 182 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns. He also rushed five times for seven yards and lost a fumble.

Smith threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson on the team's first drive, but New York's passing game was quiet the rest of the way while playing through rainy conditions for the second time in as many home games. The veteran QB, who celebrated his 36th birthday Saturday, has a tidy 6:0 TD:INT, though Smith has put the ball on the ground in all but one game while losing two of four fumbles. Smith and the Jets will hope to get some of their injured skill position players back in Week 6 against the Patriots. Kenyon Sadiq (concussion) joined that growing list during Sunday's win.

Head coach Ben Johnson wouldn't commit to a return date for Williams (hamstring) after Sunday's loss at Green Bay, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports. "He's on track. We'll see if that's Atlanta or after," Johnson said. "I think it's going to be close."

Prior to Williams being deemed inactive for a third straight game due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the quarterback is "pushing to play" next weekend against the Falcons, and the fact he was able to complete a pregame workout backed up that sentiment. Johnson's comments afterward keeps the situation in some limbo for the time being, but the combined play of Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum on Sunday could spur the Bears to turn back to Williams after a second defeat in the last four contests.

Love completed 25 of 31 passes for 367 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding one carry for six yards in the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Love was in prime form all afternoon against the Packers' long-time arch-rival, finishing with the third-highest single-game passing yardage total of his career while facilitating 100-yard efforts for both Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. The veteran signal-caller connected with the former for both of his touchdown passes, which came from 42 and 53 yards out in the first and third quarters, respectively. Love already has a trio of 300-yard games on the season and a 10:3 TD:INT heading into a Week 6 home matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday night.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the 49ers on Sunday.

Milroe remains the third QB behind Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. The 2025 second-rounder will only be able to enter Sunday's contest if both Darnold and Lock cannot return to the game.

Hurts completed 21 of 40 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars. He added two rushing yards on two carries and lost one of two fumbles.

It was another sluggish effort from the Eagles' offense, and the only play longer than 19 yards that they managed on the day was a 62-yard TD from Hurts to Darius Cooper in the second quarter. Even so, the QB appeared to engineer a game-winning field goal drive inside the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, only for Jake Elliott to give Ameer Abdullah a returnable kickoff with eight seconds left on the clock which he took back to the Philly 39-yard line -- setting the stage for a game-winning Cam Little field goal. Hurts will take an 8:3 TD:INT and rough 57.8 percent completion rate through five games into a Week 6 meeting with the Panthers.
