#3 - QB Trevor Siemian, New Orleans Saints

While the other backup QBs knew before the game started that they would be stepping in for the incumbent QB, Siemian had to fill in after a horrible injury to Saints starter Jameis Winston. In a highly-anticipated NFC South matchup that had playoff implications, the New Orleans Saints knocked off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers behind backup QB Trevor Siemian. Siemian guided the Saints with 159 yards and 1 touchdown pass to WR Kevin White.

#4 - QB Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks
