He became the first NFL quarterback to throw for 13,000 yards in his first three seasons.

Philadelphia secured its second straight post-season appearance and fifth in six seasons.Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor threw touchdown passes for the Giants . They have one win in their last six games and their hopes of their first playoff berth since 2016 are slipping with four games remaining.
That was about the only thing that didn’t go right for the 49ers, who thoroughly dominated Brady and Tampa Bay to win their sixth straight game. The last pick in the 2022 draft led the Niners to five touchdowns on their first seven possessions. Goff threw a tiebreaking, 48-yard touchdown pass to DJ Chark, who finished with a season-high six catches and 94 yards. The QB gave Detroit a two-touchdown lead in the third quarter with a 5-yard pass to Josh Reynolds after coach Dan Campbell called a fake punt from his 26.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.
White finished 27 of 44 for 268 yards and no turnovers. Allen was 16 of 27 for a season-low 147 yards.

Derrick Henry ran for 96 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter but didn’t do much after that, finishing with 121 yards on 17 carries. The star quarterback delivered, starting with a 21-yard completion to Dalton Schultz from the 2. Later, an 18-yarder to Schultz put Dallas at the Houston 4. Elliott scored on third down from the 2 to cap the 98-yard, 11-play drive.After going back to Davis Mills as the starter following a two-game benching, the Texans threw in a wrinkle with Driskel offering a hybrid wildcat/throwing role that included his first TD pass since 2020.
Burrow threw a 15-yard TD pass to Ja’Marr Chase and a 45 yard scoring pass on a flea-flicker to Trenton Irwin. Burrow was largely reliant on Chase after his other top receivers, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins, left the game with injuries. Chase had 10 receptions for 119 yards in his second game since missing a month with a hip fracture.
Mahomes threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns, including a no-look hook pass on one of Jerick McKinnon’s two TD receptions.
