Dak's accuracy was on full show versus New York, and when faced with additional pass rushers, he spat fire against a strong blitz (a staggering 63.3 percent of drop backs), hitting 14 of 19 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown. He has jumped 4 places on this list, and if he continues this level of performance, we may soon see him in the top 3.
Burrow won a nail-biting match against Tennessee's defense, which had allowed just one sack on Sunday after recording an absurd nine takedowns in the last semifinal round. With a record of 23:8 touchdowns to interceptions and the impending returns of Chase and Mixon, Burrow is a guarantee for huge numbers down the stretch.
In a show of complete faith in his star wideouts, Tua performed at a higher level against a floundering Houston defense, racking up 278 first-half passing yards, the most by a Miami player since at least 1991. When Tagovailoa was benched late in the third quarter, he left the field having set league records for yards per attempt, touchdowns to interceptions ratio, and passer rating.
Allen had a few inaccurate and off-target passes as Buffalo's difficulties in the red zone continued, while showing flashes of Josh-like arm strength and late-game heroics against the Lions — his laser to Stefon Diggs rescued the day. That elbow of his needs some quick recovery.
Hurts blasted the record books on Sunday night by scorching the Green Bay defense for 157 yards at a 9.2 yard average. If Mahomes didn't exist, Philly's star quarterback would win everyone's MVP vote as the first to record 150+ rushing yards, 150+ throwing yards, and two passing touchdowns in the same game since at least 1950.
To be removed from his position at the top of this hierarchy, the reliable Mahomes would have to go completely off the rails. Mahomes delivered a work of art in week 12 to Travis Kelce on a catch-and-run, which saw the 33-year-old quarterback shred Jalen Ramsey into a million pieces. It was the tight end's fifth score in three games.
