2025 NFL Quarterback Rankings Week 8: Patrick Mahomes Breaks PFF’s Grading System and Daniel Jones Joins Elite Company

With the way the “Unc Bowl” kicked things off last Thursday with Aaron Rodgers vs. Joe Flacco in a battle of the oldest quarterbacks in the NFL, that set a high bar for the weekend that was not met by quarterback play around the league.

The 2025 season has been loaded with close finishes, but that was not the case in Week 7. Only 6-of-15 games had a one-score comeback opportunity in the fourth quarter. In many cases, the losing team’s quarterback played so poorly that the ending just wasn’t close. That’s not to say the winning quarterbacks all played well, because a total of 15 quarterbacks had a QBR no better than 40.0 in Week 7.

With that level of quarterback play on display, it’s nice to have some kind of logical, value system to rank these performances and make sense of them. You know, something that would rank the quarterback who wins 31-0 with 29 first downs on his offense’s five possessions ahead of the guy who threw for 67 yards with 66 YAC and had 3 first downs all game.

But we’ll get into that and more below.

Each week at 365Scores, we are going to rank all 32 NFL quarterbacks from top to bottom. The methodology is to start with our preseason quarterback rankings from July, which were based on a mixture of career value and recent play. Then each week, we will adjust the rankings to account for the latest game to get a sense of which quarterbacks are performing the best in the 2025 season.

1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

Week 7 rank: 1 (0)

It took 27 games, but the Chiefs were finally able to have wide receivers Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Hollywood Brown together for the first time. The result was an incredible team performance that was as dominant as any game played this year, and that’s even with rookie left tackle Josh Simmons missing his second straight game and right guard Trey Smith leaving early with an injury.

The Chiefs piled up 31 points and 401 yards of offense on just five possessions before pulling Patrick Mahomes late in the third quarter with a 31-0 lead as the defense pitched the first shutout in the Mahomes era. But that’s 80.2 yards per drive for those keeping count at home. In a typical season, the best offense in the league will average 40 yards per drive, so double that as the Chiefs went on long march after long march.

That’s not to say it was the most breathtakingly dominant performance on offense you’ll ever see. The Chiefs had three plays gain 20+ yards, and two of them were to the tight ends on the opening drive, so there was a lot of grinding out drives out from poor field position, converting third downs (one fourth down), and two drives were extended by a third-down penalty.

Then on the long drive before halftime, Mahomes didn’t see a dropping defender and there was almost an interception. It hit the defender’s one hand, and he almost squeezed it for a pick. That would have been bad but hardly catastrophic with the Chiefs up 14-0 late in the half. On the very next snap, a pass hit one outstretched hand of a defensive back before JuJu-Smith Schuster caught the ball for a first down. That one is definitely not a dropped interception.

Later on the drive, another deflected pass by Mahomes fell harmlessly to the ground, but those sometimes get deflected for picks. Just nowhere close to happening here.

Yet, it’s plays like this which are seemingly at the forefront of a certain company (Pro Football Focus) and their grading system, which was already under fire before this week about where Mahomes has graded this season. Then as some predicted would happen in this game, the grades showed that Mahomes had a lower passing grade (62.2) than Geno Smith (67.2) in the same game.

It’s one thing to go beyond the box score and grade the film on what an individual did. But somewhere along the way, PFF has totally lost the plot of what matters in football: Moving the chains to score points to try winning the game.

Geno Smith wasn’t horrible in this game. He was just completely ineffective. He totaled two first downs in the entire game. Mahomes had two first downs just on scrambles, and was a yard short of a third, gaining 9 yards on 1st-and-10. Combine that with a day where he’s 26-of-35 for 286 yards, 3 touchdowns, and he had a couple of drops and throwaways. No wonder his QBR from ESPN was 89.6, the third highest in Week 7. Smith had a 7.7 QBR, the second lowest.

It’s not just ESPN who disagrees with PFF’s grades on this game. Next Gen Stats has Mahomes with the second-highest EPA/dropback in Week 7 while Geno was the second lowest. Also, it’s not like the Chiefs had all these brilliant YAC plays in the game. They more or less caught the balls in space and got the straight-line yards that were available with few broken tackles. According to NGS, the Chiefs had minus-17 YAC over expected (YACOE), so they may have even left some meat on the bone.

This is what happens when you turn football into some Olympic figure skating-style grading competition with wankery for subjective metrics like “Big Time Throws” and “Turnover-Worthy Plays” instead of giving a quarterback credit for making the right plays that move the chains and score points.

That doesn’t mean you can’t downgrade them for a dropped pick, but even that play would have been an incredible effort by the defender to haul that one in. Then even if he did, the Chiefs are still up 14-0 with barely a minute left in the half. Not like Geno would do anything with the ball.

Yet he still got the higher grade. It’s ridiculous and should just be ignored at this point. You know the Chiefs are fully back when they’re nitpicking dropped interceptions and whether the touchdown throws are too short or easy. Instead, we should be talking about the 80 yards per drive, the way Rice scored two touchdowns with the team using a limited route tree, and the potential this offense has now.

2. Daniel Jones, Indianapolis Colts

Week 7 rank: 2 (0)

We are seven weeks into the 2025 season and Daniel Jones is still leading the most efficient offense in the NFL. Just imagine where the numbers would be if Adonai Mitchell didn’t cost them two touchdowns against the Rams, not to mention a 7-0 record that would result from that.

Given the opponent on the road, you can say Sunday was the best game yet for Indy. Jones got help from Jonathan Taylor with another 94 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns, but he still threw for 288 yards and 2 touchdowns as well. The Colts scored 38 points on their first seven drives before the fourth quarter started.

Jones has thrown 214 passes, his passing success rate is 57.3%, his sack rate is 2.73%, and his passer rating is 105.9. Since 1978, you’ll find only five other quarterback seasons through seven games that were able to hit those benchmarks (200 attempts, 55% success rate, sack rate under 3.0%, 100.0+ passer rating):

  • Dan Marino, 1984 Dolphins (won MVP, threw 48 touchdown passes, first 5,000-yard passing season, and lost Super Bowl)
  • Peyton Manning, 2006 Colts (first-team All-Pro quarterback, won Super Bowl MVP in what I consider the season he played his best football)
  • Tom Brady, 2007 Patriots (18-0 start, 50 touchdown passes, MVP, lost Super Bowl)
  • Peyton Manning, 2010 Colts (hot start that fizzled with a 3-game losing streak after the offense had some injuries; still made playoffs and lost wild card game)
  • Matthew Stafford, 2021 Rams (best season of his career with 41 touchdowns and won the Super Bowl)

Those are legendary seasons from legends of the game. No scrubs here. Even if you dump the sack rate qualifier, which is an important one since Jones usually took a lot of sacks with the Giants, you’ll only find 23 seasons since 1978 that hit the 200 att./55% success/100.0 rating marks. The worst quarterbacks on that list are Jones, Baker Mayfield (2024), Deshaun Watson (2020), and Tua Tagovailoa (2023).

So, we may not be enough games into the season yet to say Jones is primed for an all-time great year. But he’s 41.2% of the way through it. He does have the fewest touchdown passes (10) of any of the 23 quarterbacks on that list, but that’s also a reflection of his rushing (four scores) and Taylor’s scoring at the goal line. The Colts score touchdowns the best of any offense right now.

But tougher tests are on the way. You can already circle Week 12 when the Chiefs will host the Colts in a game that might not feature a punt (again).

3. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

Week 7 rank: 7 (+4)

Dak Prescott only got CeeDee Lamb back on Sunday, but he’s been on a tear for the last month with at least 3 touchdown passes and no interceptions in four straight games. You’d think Dallas would have a better record than 2-1-1 in that time, but that’s the path the team chose this year with the Micah Parsons trade.

But we’ll get a stronger test for Prescott this week when he faces the Denver defense at Mile High.

4. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Week 7 rank: 4 (0)

Buffalo had a bye week, so we’ll see what Josh Allen and the offense have prepared for Carolina next week. The Bills have not lost three games in a row since 2019, and that included a playoff game and a Week 17 game where Allen and starters rested. He has never lost three games in a row he actually finished.

5. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions

Week 7 rank: 5 (0)

A sign of the rough night for offenses on Monday, Goff didn’t really play that well despite the 24-9 win over Tampa Bay. He got an easy YAC touchdown from Amon-Ra St. Brown to start the game, lost a fumble, wasted a long drive with a 4th-down incompletion, threw a pick before halftime to help the Bucs set up a field goal, had a 0-yard field goal drive, and Jahmyr Gibbs did most of the work on a 78-yard touchdown run for another score.

But the Lions go into the bye week with a 5-2 record and Goff’s numbers looking similar or better than they were a year ago with Ben Johnson as his coordinator. Can’t beat that.

6. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams

Week 7 rank: 8 (+2)

Matthew Stafford didn’t have Puka Nacua, but he still threw five touchdowns, including a couple to unknown players and three to Davante Adams, on his way to a 35-7 rout over the Jaguars in London. Who says you need to arrive early to avoid jet lag? The Rams showed up late and dominated.

Stafford didn’t even need to throw for 190 yards to get those touchdowns, finishing with the sixth-fewest passing yards in a 5-touchdown pass game in NFL history. But the game did say more about how inept Jacksonville was than anything else. The Rams actually punted four times in a row in the third quarter before piling it on with two more touchdowns late.

7. Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 7 rank: 3 (-4)

Baker Mayfield’s two lowest passer ratings in games with Tampa Bay (2023-25) are both against Detroit in low-scoring losses. You could argue Monday night was his worst game in a Tampa uniform since the Lions were down their starting corners and safeties, and he kept missing open receivers with high throws all night long.

To his credit, one of those turnovers was a stolen pick by the defender on a controversial replay decision by the officials. Cade Otton also came up short on a fourth-down conversion. Mike Evans suffered a concussion and broken clavicle on a drop deep down the field. He’ll be out most of the season, if not the rest of the year.

But on a night where Mayfield could have made his MVP statement, he may have dug himself a hole he’ll never get out of with this 24-9 loss. It wasn’t quite Carson Beck throwing away the Heisman like the Miami quarterback did against Louisville last Friday night, but it was a damning performance for Mayfield.

8. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers

Week 7 rank: 6 (-2)

You can tell and understand why Justin Herbert is pressing with backup tackles and running backs in the game around him. He also was expected to score a lot against a red-hot Indianapolis offense, but he still threw a bad pick in the red zone early in the game. He also had another deflected pick, a problem in the last month. The Colts were up 20-3 early, leading to Herbert abandoning the run and throwing it 55 times.

He wound up with 420 yards and three touchdowns out of it, but it wasn’t an efficient or ultimately effective game from him. In fact, the last real gasp for the Chargers following the three straight touchdowns was when the game was 38-24 and LA needed another touchdown to make it a one-score game. Herbert led an epic march that featured 21 plays and consumed 9:14 off the clock, but all it did was end in a failed completion on fourth-and-forever after a sack blew things up.

The Chargers need tackle Joe Alt back as soon as possible.

9. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

Week 7 rank: 11 (+2)

The betting markets might be exaggerating how good the Packers have been the last month or so. This was a struggle in Arizona with the offense held to six points late into the third quarter. Jordan Love didn’t even have any bad turnovers early in the game this time to cause that.

But credit to Love for leading the fifth comeback in the fourth quarter of his career. Maybe more apt to say credit Tucker Kraft for making an amazing play on 4th-and-2 on the game-winning drive, a gutsy call from the Arizona 29 when the Packers were still down 23-20 with 2:32 left.

The defense held up and the Packers are 4-1-1, technically the best record in the NFC.

10. Drake Maye, New England Patriots

Week 7 rank: 12 (+2)

Drake Maye had another efficient game against the Titans, but I’m going to do something rare and defend Tom Brady here. It’s been reported that Maye broke the franchise record for completion percentage in a game by completing 21-of-23 passes (91.3%). But the true franchise record should be when Brady was 26-of-28 (92.9%) against the 2007 Jaguars in a divisional round playoff game. That’s better than beating up the Titans in Week 7.

I think people are overselling Maye’s accuracy in an offense that isn’t asking him to throw that many times a game. Just in this game alone, he got an incredible catch by Pop Douglas on a 4th-and-1 throw that was off the mark despite the wide-open receiver.

Austin Hooper also made a great contested catch for a touchdown on a play where the left tackle and left guard both got away with a false start. Then Kayshon Boutte made a great diving touchdown catch on a pass that could have been a hair shorter for the receiver to get easier.

11. Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks

Week 7 rank: 10 (-1)

Sam Darnold’s been having a strong year but Monday night was a rough watch. Houston has a good defense, but the Seahawks kept giving them chances to stay in the game with turnovers, including a pick and fumble return for a touchdown from Darnold. They still got the win, and he should have cleaner games going forward.

12. Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 7 rank: 13 (+1)

Aaron Rodgers must be thinking “why me?” at this point. He goes to the Jets, they’re supposed to have a great defense, and they play poorly and blow six fourth-quarter leads last year. Now he goes to the Steelers, they have a very expensive defense with four Hall of Fame-caliber starters, and when they’re not getting turnovers, they’re horrible. Maybe the worst in the Mike Tomlin era.

Rodgers lost a 33-31 shootout with Cincinnati where he did throw a go-ahead touchdown late, but the defense gave up a late field goal. Rodgers was able to uncork a Hail Mary just under 70 yards but to no avail. He did have two interceptions in the game, but one saw the defender rip the ball away from D.K Metcalf, so that wasn’t on the quarterback.

It’s a huge loss for the Steelers (4-2) on a night they could have put an early stranglehold on the AFC North. Now they have to face the Packers on Sunday night, a game I’m sure Rodgers has been ready for since the schedule came out.

13. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

Week 7 rank: 16 (+3)

It’s another type of offense that isn’t sustainable, but we’ll give credit where credit is due. Jalen Hurts was outstanding on deep throws in Minnesota, finishing with a perfect passer rating for the game and putting the Vikings away with one more deep shot to A.J. Brown.

You still want to see the Eagles convert more third downs, get more from the running game, and not just rely on deep balls in high-leverage situations. But for Sunday’s game against a complex defense, this worked out great for Hurts.

14. Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders

Week 7 rank: 9 (-5)

Things are going south in a hurry for the Commanders, who are 3-4 with games against the Chiefs, Seahawks, and Lions up next. Jayden Daniels was already facing a tough task in Dallas, getting into a shootout without his top three wide receivers and best receiving back (don’t forget Austin Ekeler is out for the season). The game probably would have been more competitive if a scary hamstring issue didn’t knock Daniels out of the game as Marcus Mariota threw a brutal pick-six in the 44-22 loss.

It’s unclear if Daniels will be able to play against the Chiefs on Monday night, but it’s not likely going to matter if he can’t get some of these receivers back. Injuries are just decimating this offense while the defense remains poor. This would already be the second injury to cost Daniels games this year if he should miss Monday night.

15. Bo Nix, Denver Broncos

Week 7 rank: 19 (+4)

It was such a wild comeback for Denver, including a record 33 points for a team that was shut out before the fourth quarter started. The question is why does the offense keep sputtering for three quarters before they play with pace and produce? Similar things happened against the Eagles too, and it’s not like the offense did a whole lot against the Jets last week.

But Nix had a historic day with the first game in NFL history where a quarterback threw 2 touchdowns and rushed for 2 in the same quarter. We just need to see more consistency early in games, but Nix is doing a good job of showing he can deliver in the big moments.

16. Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears

Week 7 rank: 15 (+1)

The Bears (4-2) are the only team in the NFL this season to score at least 21 points in every game. But Caleb Williams and the passing game took a backseat to the running game and defense in a 26-14 win over the Saints. Williams only threw for 172 yards and flirted with some turnovers on a day of bad snaps.

But here’s a big test for him this week against Baltimore, a defense that has been vulnerable all year.

17. Mac Jones, San Francisco 49ers

Week 7 rank: 18 (+1)

It’s time we give the Atlanta defense some respect. No team has had 160 net passing yards against the Falcons yet this year. Mac Jones had been consistently throwing for 270 yards every week, but even he was held to 152 yards in this game. George Kittle returned but Jones didn’t even complete a pass to his future Hall of Fame tight end.

But Christian McCaffrey rushed for 129 yards and was a threat as a receiver again (72 yards) to pace the offense in a 20-10 win.

18. Jaxson Dart, New York Giants

Week 7 rank: 26 (+8)

The kid is crazy, a bit lucky (deflected touchdown pass), but he’s also quite good for a rookie with low expectations. Be honest. Did you see Jaxson Dart throwing for 283 yards and 3 touchdowns in Denver without Malik Nabers? He did that while also rushing for a late touchdown that may have been a dagger, but the kicker missed an extra point, and the defense gave up the game-winning field goal.

In fact, the Giants allowed 33 points in the fourth quarter alone to blow leads of 19-0 and 26-8 in one of the craziest comebacks in NFL history. Dart’s only real mistake during that was the interception that gave the Broncos a short field, but the good outweighed the bad here.

The Giants are only 2-5 after a bummer of a loss, but they should feel really good about Dart’s potential.

19. Michael Penix Jr., Atlanta Falcons

Week 7 rank: 14 (-5)

There were definitely missed opportunities for Penix in San Francisco, including another blunder before halftime when the Falcons came up scoreless after a bad grounding penalty on the quarterback ran out the clock. That negated the two longest gains in the game that preceded the penalty.

That’s how you end up with 241 passing yards and 10 points in the game.

20. Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals

Week 7 rank: 23 (+3)

Much like last week, Jacoby Brissett is out here throwing for big yardage (275+), multiple touchdowns, finding Trey McBride for touchdowns, and giving the team a lead in the fourth quarter against two of the best teams right now in the Packers and Colts.

But much like last week, the Cardinals blew the lead and Brissett came up short on the game-winning drive in a 4-point loss. Story of his career. But while this by no means is a sign that Brissett should take Kyler Murray’s job, it does strongly suggest that Murray is holding this team back, at least offensively, from being better than it has been the last few years.

21. Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals

Week 7 rank: 28 (+7)

This should be quite the interesting case study this season in Cincinnati. Joe Flacco played well in the second half against the Packers despite just joining the team. Then four days later, he had a big game against the Steelers, his old nemesis in the AFC North, as he pulled out a game-winning drive and comeback win against Aaron Rodgers.

Flacco completed 16 passes to Ja’Marr Chase, a franchise record, showing that he can get rid of the ball fast and survive that offensive line. On basically 100 pass plays against the Packers and Steelers, defenses with Micah Parsons and T.J. Watt, Flacco has just 3 sacks and no picks playing behind that offensive line.

Two games with the Bengals, Flacco already has won as many games for the team when trailing in the final 8:00 as Joe Burrow has in his career. It’s going to be interesting to see if he can sustain this, or how much it helped him that he’s already faced Green Bay a few weeks ago with Cleveland, and Mike Tomlin notoriously doesn’t change much of his scheme in Pittsburgh, so Flacco had a lot of the answers before the test was given.

But it was a season-saving win for the Bengals, and with the Jets and Bears up next, don’t be surprised if the Bengals are 5-4 going into that Week 11 rematch in Pittsburgh where the Bengals historically play better than they do at home against their rival.

22. Carson Wentz, Minnesota Vikings

Week 7 rank: 22 (0)

Wentz was a mixed bag against the Eagles in a 28-22 loss. He threw for 313 yards, almost had a big touchdown late to T.J. Hockenson (overturned on end zone drop), but he also had a pick-six and some other turnovers and silly plays like a grounding and fumble.

But with the Vikings on a short week (Thursday at Chargers), it sounds like he’s getting at least one more start before the team might go back to J.J. McCarthy.

23. C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans

Week 7 rank: 17 (-6)

Looks like facing the injured Ravens didn’t fix the Houston offense. Things were as poor as ever on Monday night in Seattle, one of the roughest games to watch this season. Stroud was very fortunate not to cough up a fumble for a touchdown while getting one from his own defense. The Houston offense didn’t find the end zone until it was too late.

The Texans are 31st on third down this season, converting just 30.7% of the time. The 2023 Stroud that was so good as a rookie just doesn’t look to be there anymore. If Kurt Warner can’t explain it, then neither can I.

24. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars

Week 7 rank: 20 (-4)

Getting up early to watch Trevor Lawrence air-mail passes in London against the Rams? Couldn’t be me. Lawrence finished with 5 drops and 13 bad throws (season high) according to the game charting at Pro Football Reference. He also took 7 sacks for the second game in a row, so you basically saw him take a sack, miss a pass badly, or have one dropped. That’s how you end up losing 35-7.

The only good news is Travis Hunter caught a touchdown and showed a lot of receiving skills. But the Jaguars are struggling in a serious way to throw the ball now.

25. Spencer Rattler, New Orleans Saints

Week 7 rank: 21 (-4)

I should have given some thought to the Bears having defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who was fired by New Orleans last year after everyone got injured and the team’s 2-0 start imploded. He saw Spencer Rattler up close and personal, so he probably knew how to scout him well.

Rattler has been playing well this year, but Sunday was easily his worst game with a slew of turnovers and an ineffective finish after making it a 20-14 game.

26. Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers

Week 7 rank: 25 (-1)

For the second time this year, Bryce Young won a game where he didn’t even throw for 140 yards or average better than 5.5 yards per attempt. But he left this one early with a high ankle sprain that could cost him Week 8 against Buffalo, a game that would have been a great litmus test for where he’s at. Instead, we’ll likely see the return of the Red Rifle, Andy Dalton.

27. Geno Smith, Las Vegas Raiders

Week 7 rank: 27 (0)

We talked above in the Mahomes section about Geno’s PFF grade controversy in this game. He threw the ball 16 times, gained 67 yards, and his receivers had 66 YAC, which is hard to fathom. Smith only took one sack and didn’t have any turnovers, so it’s not like he was a hot mess in this game.

But “impotent” might be the nicest way to describe his contribution to a Raiders offense that ran 30 plays for the game and couldn’t stay on the field while the Chiefs were scoring at will. That’s certainly not a game that should get a higher grade than what Mahomes did.

At least Geno didn’t fumble a snap like Kenny Pickett did the moment he entered the game.

28. Dillon Gabriel, Cleveland Browns

Week 7 rank: 29 (+1)

The rookie got his first win but let’s be real. The defense and running game carried the day as Gabriel only had to complete 13-of-18 passes for 116 yards (nothing over 23 yards) in an easy 31-6 win over one of the worst teams and defenses (Miami) in the NFL this year.

29. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins

Week 7 rank: 24 (-5)

Won’t be fooled again. Count me out on Tua Tagovailoa in Miami. Any price it costs to move on in 2026, I’m taking it. He played so terribly on Sunday in Cleveland that it might be the only reason the team didn’t fire coach Mike McDaniel on Monday. It was largely on the quarterback throwing picks that put the Browns in easy position for two touchdowns.

Tua is a bad quarterback and an increasingly lousy teammate too after throwing teammates under the bus in the media last week before he played like this.

30. Cooper Rush, Baltimore Ravens

Week 7 rank: 31 (+1)

The Ravens had their bye week, and this will hopefully be Lamar Jackson next week. But after reports that he still wasn’t practicing after the bye week with that hamstring issue, it’s a big concern for the 1-5 Ravens as they can absolutely lose to Chicago if Jackson doesn’t play again.

31. Justin Fields, New York Jets

Week 7 rank: 30 (-1)

“If we can just complete a pass, it would look good.” Jets owner Woody Johnson gave one of the most scathing public criticisms you’ll see from an owner on quarterback Justin Fields, who was benched in Sunday’s 13-6 home loss to the Panthers that dropped New York to 0-7.

The offense moved better when Tyrod Taylor entered the game, but he still couldn’t get the ball in the end zone either. It sounds like a permanent quarterback change should be coming any day now in New York.

32. Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans

Week 7 rank: 32 (0)

That “new coach boost” lasted about a half for Cam Ward against the Patriots. But in the third quarter with Tennessee down 24-13, he had yet another unforced fumble where he just lost the ball, similar to what he did a week ago against the Raiders. But this one was deadly as it was returned for a touchdown, which ended up being the last points of the game as the Titans fell 31-13.

Ward’s other numbers weren’t bad in this game, but when you gift a team a touchdown like that, there’s no coach in the world that can do anything about it. Hold onto the ball, young buck.
