Sunday marked the NFL's final day of regular season games as teams were still playing for Playoff position or just to get in. It was a day in which quarterbacks shined when they needed to. Here are the five stars from winning teams on Sunday (Dec. 30).
Dak Prescott - Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys didn't need a win as they had their playoff spot secured and the seed was known. However, Dak still played and he played quite well, guiding the team to a 36-35 win on the road at New York. Prescott finished with 387 yards and four touchdowns on 27-for-44 passing.

Matt Ryan - Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons were another team that didn't have much to play for as they're not going to the postseason. They were playing the Tampa Bay Bucs, another team that won't be in the playoffs. However, former MVP Matt Ryan turned it up on Sunday. Ryan threw for 378 yards and two touchdowns on 31-for-44 passing. He even had a touchdown reception for the fun of it.

Andrew Luck - Indianapolis Colts
It's always great to have Luck on your side. In a "win and you're in" game Sunday, Luck threw for 285 yards and three TDs on 24-for-35 passing. That helped the Colts defeat the Titans 33-17 for the final AFC Wild Card spot.

Nick Foles - Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles knew they'd need to get at least a victory on Sunday. Their Super Bowl MVP delivered with 221 yards and two touchdown passes in a 24-0 win over the Redskins. Next up, the Chicago Bears on the road in the Wild Card round.

Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs needed a victory in order to clinch the No. 1 seed for the AFC. They did just that behind the man who has been their driving force all season. The second-year QB is on pace for an MVP award. Sunday's game included 281 yards and two touchdowns on 14-for-24 passing in a win over Oakland.
