Week 17 of the NFL season was a challenging one for many quarterbacks, leading to disappointing performances and raising questions about their futures. Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals threw for 321 yards but continued to struggle with interceptions, leaving fans wondering about his consistency. Geno Smith of the Seattle Seahawks managed to avoid turnovers but could only lead his team to six points against the Chicago Bears, indicating a need for improvement as the playoffs approach.
Mason Rudolph of the Tennessee Titans had a mediocre game with under 200 passing yards, while rookie Drake Maye of the New England Patriots faced a tough outing, throwing for just 117 yards and committing a fumble in a significant loss. Russell Wilson's performance for the Pittsburgh Steelers was marred by a critical interception, further complicating the Steelers' playoff aspirations.
Caleb Williams, quarterbacking for the Chicago Bears, struggled to find rhythm, resulting in a dismal three-point game against the Seahawks. C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans, once a promising star, failed to score any offensive points, raising concerns about his performance. Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets faced significant criticism after a poor showing against the Buffalo Bills, leading to his benching in favor of Tyrod Taylor.
Cooper Rush of the Dallas Cowboys struggled against the Philadelphia Eagles, failing to reach 200 passing yards in both matchups this season. Lastly, Dorian Thompson-Robinson of the Cleveland Browns continued to show inconsistency, making it unclear if he is the long-term solution for the team at quarterback.
