- Patrick Mahomes threw for 382 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover in a 33-30 overtime win over the Colts, orchestrating his 25th career winning drive in just his second game back from a torn ACL and LCL
- Caleb Williams exited the Bears' rain-soaked loss to the Vikings with a right hamstring injury, while Commanders QB Jayden Daniels left the loss to Dallas in the second quarter with an elbow injury — his fourth exit from a game in his past five starts
- Dak Prescott broke Tony Romo's Cowboys career touchdown pass record with four scoring throws in a 37-20 win over Washington, completing better than 80% of his passes while his defense again struggled
- The Indianapolis Colts' defense has now surrendered 506 yards (Week 1 vs. Baltimore) and 523 yards (Week 2 vs. Kansas City) in back-to-back games — the worst two-game stretch for that unit in three seasons
- Kirk Cousins and the Raiders improved to 2-0 without tight end Brock Bowers, with Cousins going 8-of-12 for 181 yards and three touchdowns on throws of 10-plus air yards in a 26-14 win over the Chargers
- Drew Lock won his second straight start in place of injured Sam Darnold, leading the Seahawks to a 31-7 rout of the Cardinals as Seattle's defense dominated
Why it matters: With Williams and Daniels both hurt, two of the NFC's most promising young quarterbacks face uncertain timelines for teams that built their 2025 plans around them. Meanwhile, Mahomes proving he's still a late-game closer just two games removed from ACL/LCL surgery — and Prescott breaking Romo's franchise record — stabilize two AFC contenders, while Indianapolis allowing 1,029 yards in two weeks raises urgent questions about its post-Steichen defense.
