2025 NFL Quarterback Rankings Week 9: Jordan Love Steals the Shine from Aaron Rodgers’ Night in Pittsburgh
The 2025 NFL season started with a ton of close games every week, but Week 8 was one for the record books with a single game decided by 1-9 points. That hadn’t happened since 1970, and one thing was clear this week: Some old quarterbacks are washed up and probably shouldn’t be starting anymore unless it’s an emergency.
- The week started with Carson Wentz gutting it out for three hours in so much pain that I may have thought I was watching The Pitt via Amazon Prime Video instead of Vikings vs. Chargers. Goodnight, sweet prince.
- Then we saw Kirk Cousins return to the starting lineup in Atlanta after a Michael Penix Jr. injury, and that did not go well at all in a brutal home loss to the Dolphins.
- Andy Dalton was a total disaster for Carolina against the Bills, registering a week-low 4.2 QBR in a 40-9 loss. Dalton might be old enough to have a kid with a 4.2 GPA by now.
- The week of blowouts ended with Marcus Mariota leading a single touchdown drive for the Commanders in Kansas City.
Too many quarterback injuries this year. But the oldest quarterback in the NFL, Aaron Rodgers, was in the prime position on Sunday night to attempt to become the fifth quarterback to beat all 32 teams. But Green Bay’s Jordan Love stole the show with a brilliant performance that has the Packers on top of the NFC and the Steelers looking for answers.
We’ll be back Thursday with an updated look at the NFL award races, including MVP.
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.
Table of Contents
1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
Week 8 rank: 1 (0)
How strong are the Chiefs right now? They were missing 40% of their offensive line starters, they had two interceptions to start the game (another ball went off Travis Kelce’s hands), and they still scored four touchdowns on their next five drives to win 28-7. They even gained 119 yards of offense on one touchdown drive due to penalties.
Patrick Mahomes said after the game that the record (5-3) isn’t as good as last year when the team started 9-0, but it’s been more fun this season. That could be a reference to the pressure the three-peat had on this team in 2024, or it could just mean he’s back to making plays out of structure better than anyone.
It’s Buffalo week already for the Chiefs this Sunday. The game may not be the AFC Regular Season Game of the Year given what the Patriots and Colts are doing, and the fact that the Chiefs host Indy in Week 12. But we’ll see how the Chiefs approach it as there may not actually be a rematch in January this time. The Chiefs are favored on the road too as Mahomes has been on a tear, and with the defense rounding into top form, they look like the best team in the NFL.
2. Daniel Jones, Indianapolis Colts
Week 8 rank: 2 (0)
We should not take it for granted how efficient and consistent Daniel Jones has been this season for the Colts. Even with the Titans sacking him a season-high 3 times, he threw a season-high 3 touchdown passes, averaged a season-best 9.4 yards per pass, and he converted a third-and-long with the longest completion by air yards of his NFL career to Alec Pierce.
We’ll see the Colts in Pittsburgh on Sunday, so another chance to light up a reeling defense for the team with the best record in the league.
3. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
Week 8 rank: 3 (0)
Rough day for Dak in Denver with the way the Broncos were pouring on touchdowns against that awful defense. But that’s to be expected of Dallas this year. Dak knows that going into these games, and it just never seemed like the Cowboys had a real plan or were prepared to take on a team that’s rolling right now.
We’ll see him in prime time next Monday night against Arizona, a game the Cowboys will desperately need to win to stay alive in this playoff race. Prescott still leads all quarterbacks in QBR (79.5) this season, but he’ll need a bounce-back game at home here.
4. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Week 8 rank: 4 (0)
In any other week, Josh Allen would be moving ahead of Dak Prescott again after the game he had in Denver. But this was not a normal week. Actually, I would say Allen had the most misleading stat line of any quarterback in Week 8.
On the surface, it looks like he had a solid game manager type of day in an easy 40-9 win in Carolina as Andy Dalton gave the game away for free with turnovers. Allen was 12-of-19 for 163 yards, a touchdown pass, and he had two short touchdown runs. So, your quarterback accounts for three touchdowns and averages over 8.0 yards per pass attempt. Very good, right?
But this is why we look at more numbers beyond the general box score. Allen’s QBR was 46.3, which is a below-average game that only ranked 18th in Week 8. His raw QBR was only 40.9, so he’s actually getting a healthy opponent adjustment for reasons I couldn’t explain as the Panthers have a middling defense at best.
Why such a low QBR in a 40-9 win with three touchdowns and a 108.0 passer rating? For starters, Allen’s 54-yard touchdown pass to Khalil Shakir was all Shakir. It was a 4-yard throw short of the sticks where Shakir broke a tackle and gained the last 50 in YAC for the touchdown, so Allen gets marginal credit for that play, the type of short throw with huge YAC for a touchdown that he’s lapping the league in the last year.
Second, advanced stats hate sacks, and Allen had two early ones in this game to already match his 2024 season total of 14 sacks with 10 games to go. The first came on a third down to start the game, pushing the field goal attempt back to 45 yards. The second was on third down in the red zone where Allen’s jersey was ripped, but he ended up losing 16 yards here.
Third, the game was such a blowout because of James Cook and the defense. Cook rushed for 216 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He’s now leading the NFL in yards per carry (6.0) and rushing yards per game.
Maybe Cook would be getting the MVP talk that Jonathan Taylor is getting in Indy if he had a few more touchdowns on his total this year, but that’s where Allen’s two scores in this game come into play.
What’s the weakest touchdown drive you can think of a quarterback getting credit for on a drive where he throws or runs for the touchdown in a game? I think Allen may have given us the perfect example in this game. Up 12-3 at the two-minute warning, Dalton’s pass was intercepted and returned to the Carolina 1-yard line. Allen immediately got the call on the Tush Push for a 1-yard touchdown drive. One play, one yard, and it’s a Tush Push on top of that. Gross, unethical field general work here (my 2025 way of calling him a stat padder).
Later in the third quarter, the Bills were up 33-3 and Dalton fumbled again, setting up the offense in the red zone immediately at the Carolina 19. At this point, you could have justified pulling Allen for backup Mitch Trubisky to finish the game. But Allen stayed in, threw two passes for 13 yards, then on 3rd-and-goal, he again plowed in for the 1-yard touchdown run to go up 40-3 with 1:19 left in the third. Allen then sat out the fourth quarter.
But between the massive YAC touchdown, the third-down sacks, and QB sneak touchdown drives he didn’t do anything to earn, that’s how you end up with a below-average QBR for a 31-point win.
This is why there’s still chatter about the direction of Buffalo’s passing game coming out of the bye week, because this game didn’t really answer much for their issues. Keon Coleman didn’t really do anything again, Dalton Kincaid had one catch for 23 yards, and Allen seems to be more indecisive this year and falling in love with retreating to the sideline before making throws down the field. He’s been successful in the past with that, but this isn’t sustainable offense.
With the Chiefs up next for their annual regular-season showdown, you’d like to see Allen sharper than this going into it as that game suddenly takes on a higher level of importance with the way these division races no longer guarantee the Chiefs and Bills will win their divisions and meet again in January.
And if we’re still entertaining this idea of Allen for MVP in 2025, he needs to be much better than he has been the last month.
5. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
Week 8 rank: 5 (0)
The Lions (5-2) had their bye week, so Goff was able to join the ManningCast and have a good time watching the Chiefs-Commanders game and discuss his touchdown catch that was taken away by penalty against Kansas City, and his Halloween costume this year. And I still say if we were ranking quarterbacks by their wives, Goff is No. 1 in the league (watch Season 2 of Quarterback on Netflix for evidence).
We’ll see him against the Vikings in Week 9.
6. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
Week 8 rank: 8 (+2)
I’m still not sure Justin Herbert didn’t get away with a pick-six on his first pass of the night against Minnesota. But after that fortunate reversal, he marched right down the field for a touchdown, and it ended up being that kind of night for the Chargers.
Herbert was happy to have Joe Alt back at left tackle, and he still rushed for 62 yards to show off his scrambling ability. His most complete game in many weeks.
7. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
Week 8 rank: 9 (+2)
Sunday night in Pittsburgh wasn’t the biggest win of Jordan Love’s career, but it might be No. 2 right now behind his playoff upset in Dallas two seasons ago. That was very impressive to go in there on a night that was all about Aaron Rodgers facing his former team and be the star of the game.
Love completed 20 consecutive passes at one point, tying Brett Favre for a franchise record that even Rodgers didn’t hold. He threw for 360 yards and 3 touchdowns, he overcame his kicker missing early twice, he scored 28 points after halftime after trailing 16-7, and he technically had another fourth-quarter comeback as the Packers were trailing on the first play of the quarter.
This was the best Love and the Packers have looked since those first two games this season, and it’s why this team could be the NFC Super Bowl representative. Love is playing some of his best ball right now.
8. Drake Maye, New England Patriots
Week 8 rank: 10 (+2)
Drake Maye faced what is likely the best defense he’ll see all year in the Cleveland Browns. It was a rough game early with a bad pick, and Myles Garrett (5.0 sacks) kept sacking Maye, who went down 6 times total, to limit the Patriots to field goals early. But he got it together with some deep balls late, threw 3 touchdowns (Stefon Diggs finally got one), and finished with 282 yards passing and 50 more rushing in an easy 32-13 win.
Scoring 30 points on 12 offensive drives? You’ll take that against the Browns. But with Maye taking 10 sacks over the last two weeks, you do have some concerns with that part of this offense as that could matter when you’re playing teams better than the Titans and Browns who don’t have the offenses to match with New England.
In fact, Maye already has five games this season where he’s taken at least 4 sacks. It looks like completing 75.2% of your passes is coming at the expense of a staggeringly high 11.0% sack rate. Maybe a few more throwaways wouldn’t be a bad idea.
9. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
Week 8 rank: 6 (-3)
Obviously, Matthew Stafford did nothing wrong on his bye week for the Rams (5-2). He just falls a bit in the rankings here as the three quarterbacks directly ahead of him had big showings. We’ll see the Rams at home against the Saints, which should be another good opportunity for Stafford to put up some numbers.
10. Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Week 8 rank: 7 (-3)
The Tampa Bay offense is clearly slipping without Bucky Irving, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin active. But is Baker Mayfield nursing an injury too? He hasn’t had a single rushing attempt in his last two games and his last scramble was that 3rd-and-14 against the 49ers a few weeks back.
Mayfield was not good in Sunday’s 23-3 win that was powered by the defense. He almost threw a pick twice from the 1-yard line before the Bucs finally rushed for the touchdown after getting stopped on eight consecutive snaps from the 1-yard line.
The Bucs have a bye week, so if Baker’s MVP campaign is going to have a rebound, they’ll need to get healthy and he’ll need to play much better the next three games against the Patriots, Bills, and Rams.
11. Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks
Week 8 rank: 11 (0)
The Seahawks (5-2) had their bye week, so we’ll see Sam Darnold this Sunday night against a Washington defense that has been struggling. Sounds like a golden opportunity to light it up with Jaxon Smith-Njigba again.
12. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
Week 8 rank: 13 (+1)
The game gets easier when you rush for over 250 yards like the Eagles did against the Giants, looking more like the offense we saw last year with Saquon Barkley. That was needed on a day where A.J. Brown was inactive, but Hurts was very solid again. Not quite as good as the touchdown number (4) suggests as he only threw for 179 yards and also took four more sacks.
But you can’t argue with results like a 38-20 win as the Eagles finally blew a team out for the first time this season.
13. Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 8 rank: 12 (-1)
In all of NFL history, I think you can pin down the top five quarterback revenge games when a legend faces his former team for the first time. Aaron Rodgers has played in two of them, he played a different role in each game, and he lost both with his defense getting shredded:
- Joe Montana, 1994 Chiefs vs. 49ers (W 24-17): Montana’s new defense forced MVP Steve Young into three turnovers while Montana passed for 203 yards and 2 touchdowns.
- Brett Favre, 2009 Vikings at Packers (W 30-23): The Vikings pulled away late with Favre throwing for 271 yards and 3 touchdowns to negate a 384-yard passing game for Rodgers.
- Peyton Manning, 2013 Broncos at Colts (L 39-33): Manning threw for 386 yards and 3 touchdowns in his return to Indy, but Andrew Luck had a special game with 4 total touchdowns.
- Tom Brady, 2021 Buccaneers at Patriots (W 19-17): Bill Belichick’s defense held Brady without a touchdown pass (22-of-43 for 269 yards) but the Bucs still won after the Patriots missed a 56-yard field goal with 0:55 left.
- Aaron Rodgers, 2025 Steelers vs. Packers (L 35-25): Pittsburgh led 16-7 at halftime but was blown out 28-9 after the half as Jordan Love put on a show.
That’s actually very fitting. Montana and Brady won their games with their defenses showing up and they didn’t have to do as much. Manning and Rodgers saw their teams give up 30+ points. That’s the kind of luck those quarterbacks had throughout their careers.
The Steelers led 16-7 at halftime, but the second half really exposed how far the defense has fallen, and it showcased just how limited the Steelers are at wide receiver. Once you get past D.K. Metcalf, there’s just not much there. They’ll need to make some move before the trade deadline as signing Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a former Rodgers teammate from Green Bay, isn’t enough.
14. Bo Nix, Denver Broncos
Week 8 rank: 15 (+1)
We needed to see some early production from that Denver offense after a sluggish few weeks in the first three quarters. Thankfully, the Dallas defense is everyone’s get-right game, and Bo Nix finished with four touchdown passes in a 44-24 rout, a great rebound after getting picked on the opening drive.
Tougher tests are on the way though.
15. Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears
Week 8 rank: 16 (+1)
In a league of 32 teams, it makes sense that No. 15 is about the spot where you start to get nervous or disappointed about how good the quarterback really is this season. Jadyen Daniels would likely be in this spot had he played this week.
It’s hard not to be disappointed with Caleb Williams and his offense in the 30-16 loss in Baltimore. The Bears scored a season-low in points against the 32nd-ranked scoring defense. They settled for a field goal four times, only found the end zone once, and Williams couldn’t even deliver on a final drive in a two-score game to keep things going.
Let’s just hope it’s not the start of another collapse as the Bears were 4-2 last year too before finishing 5-12.
16. Jaxson Dart, New York Giants
Week 8 rank: 18 (+2)
Tough week for Jaxson Dart as his Giants lost to the Eagles and he lost his buddy in rookie back Cam Skattebo, who dislocated his ankle. That means he’ll have to go the rest of the way without his best receiver (Malik Nabers) and back. Can’t even blame MetLife Stadium for this one as it happened in Philadelphia.
Still, Dart has produced enough offense in these games that it’s hard not to be impressed and bullish about his future.
17. Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals
Week 8 rank: 21 (+4)
Joe Flacco had another game for Cincinnati where he threw no interceptions, only took one sack, the running game was popping, and he had 223 yards and 2 touchdown passes. He even ran for a quarterback sneak TD and converted a 3rd-and-12 on a scramble.
But Flacco learned quickly about the incompetence of coach Zac Taylor and the worthless Bengals defense, which allowed three straight touchdowns in the fourth quarter to one of the worst comeback quarterbacks in NFL history (Justin Fields).
But Flacco had the ball, down 39-38, with 1:48 and all three timeouts – an eternity of time in this league to set up a field goal. They weren’t in much of a hurry on the drive either, so that time quickly got under 50 seconds. Then Flacco’s pass for Iosvias was defensed after a catch there could have set up a long field goal.
But then the cardinal sin happened. The Bengals ran the ball on 2nd-and-10 and only gained a yard. Just like that you’re in 3rd-and-9, and there goes the pass rush forcing Flacco into a couple of incompletions to end the game at midfield.
That run call might haunt the Bengals (3-5) for the rest of the year as it just blew up the drive and made no sense. That’s what happens when you’re a team that routinely comes up small in moments like this.
18. C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans
Week 8 rank: 23 (+5)
What a league. Six days after C.J. Stroud had one of the worst games of his career in Seattle, he had one of his best against the 49ers without top receiver Nico Collins. Of course.
But sometimes that can help if only you get other guys stepping up, and the 49ers’ defense, which is missing top dogs Nick Bosa and Fred Warner, wasn’t sure who to cover. Stroud was on pace for almost 450 yards at halftime and finished with 318 in the win. He found Xavier Hutchinson and Jayden Higgins for touchdowns.
Maybe this will get the offense on track, but I think I said the exact same thing after the Baltimore win, and we know what happened next in Seattle. But good for Stroud to play more like the rookie we loved in 2023.
19. Mac Jones, San Francisco 49ers
Week 8 rank: 17 (-2)
Have defenses “figured out” Mac Jones with the 49ers? Over the last three games, he’s thrown 2 touchdowns to 4 interceptions with 9 sacks, and he hasn’t even broke 200 yards passing the last two weeks.
Houston has a good defense, but with the Texans not allowing Jones to spam passes to Chrisitan McCaffrey, the San Francisco offense was largely held in check in the 26-15 loss.
20. Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals
Week 8 rank: 20 (0)
The Cardinals (2-5) had their bye week and will face Dallas on Monday night. It’ll probably be Kyler Murray back at quarterback, but Brissett did a very respectable job in the last two games.
21. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 8 rank: 24 (+3)
The Jaguars (4-3) had their bye week after that awful loss in London to the Rams. We’ll see if Trevor Lawrence can get on the same page with his receivers against a Vegas defense that gave up over 400 yards and 31 points on five possessions to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in their last game.
22. Geno Smith, Las Vegas Raiders
Week 8 rank: 27 (+5)
The Raiders (2-5) had their bye week and will face Jacksonville this week. That’s a defense that gets a lot of takeaways this season, so Geno Smith (10 picks) will need to be sharper with the ball. We’ll see if he can get any of his top receiving weapons back in time for Sunday.
23. Tyler Huntley, Baltimore Ravens
Week 8 rank: N/A (Cooper Rush was No. 30)
Like I said last time the Ravens played, it made no sense why they opted for Cooper Rush to back up Lamar Jackson, who was a surprise scratch for this game. Had Tyler Huntley started against the Rams, maybe they win that game too. Alas, they were able to win this one against Chicago after a very efficient game from Huntley.
After going three-and-out on the opening drive, Huntley led the Ravens to scores on 6-of-7 drives to close the game out. Huntley’s 90.1 QBR was the second highest in Week 8, but we need to see Lamar back this Thursday against Miami.
24. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins
Week 8 rank: 29 (+5)
No, you will not convince me that Tua Tagovailoa should be the Dolphins’ starting quarterback in 2026. But props for delivering the best game of the season anyone’s had against this Atlanta defense in a stunning upset win. Tua threw four touchdowns and dominated Atlanta’s pass rush by getting rid of the ball quickly. He also did this with a bad eye.
But I’m still not moved to not want to move on from him for next season.
25. Justin Fields, New York Jets
Week 8 rank: 31 (+6)
One of my favorite NFL streaks is over. Justin Fields was 0-26 when the opponent scored more than 20 points but you can make that 1-26 now after a 39-38 comeback win against the Bengals (of course it was Zac Taylor and his defense).
Hats off to Fields for playing a very good game on a tough week where owner Woody Johnson threw him under the bus about not completing enough passes.
However, you have to laugh at Fields getting the first shootout win and just the third fourth-quarter comeback of his career on a week where the NFL was historically in blowout mode as every other game was decided by 10+ points. That hadn’t happened since the 1970 season. Also, let’s not forget the game-winning touchdown pass in this game was a double-clutch throw by running back Breece Hall on a trick play.
So even when Fields comes back to win a shootout, he still leaves an asterisk with it as Hall threw the game-winning touchdown pass.
26. Spencer Rattler, New Orleans Saints
Week 8 rank: 25 (-1)
It looks like Week 8 will be the end of the line for Spencer Rattler starting at quarterback for the Saints. They benched him during Sunday’s loss for rookie Tyler Shough, and it’s going to be Shough starting the next game.
The move is fine as the coaching staff had no real commitment to Rattler, a 2024 fifth-round pick. I think he’s played better than expected this year and helped the team remain competitive in games they probably should have been blown out it, but there are limitations with him, and the draft capital spent on Shough at his advanced age for a rookie meant it was only a matter of time before this happened.
But Rattler has played his way into a likely long NFL career, backup or otherwise. As for Shough, he did some okay things in relief of Rattler on Sunday. The pick wasn’t his fault.
But we’ll see how Shough can perform as the starter this week against the Rams on the road. Not an ideal start against a great pass rush.
27. Marcus Mariota, Washington Commanders
Week 8 rank: N/A (Jayden Daniels was No. 14)
Monday night may have been the first time in several years I sat down and watched a full Marcus Mariota performance live, and I forgot how annoying he can be to watch. When he’s not getting rid of the ball immediately, he hesitates a lot, he throws hospital balls, he throws weird-arcing passes that require incredible catches, and he’s not as fast as a runner as he used to be.
The early pick was 100% on Deebo Samuel to start the game, but Mariota really didn’t have a big impact on this one. Got bailed out by some incredible Terry McLaurin catches on the sidelines.
The Commanders need Jayden Daniels back ASAP. Also, I was correct in my NFL Week 8 picks that the Chiefs would end Washington’s 27-game streak of scoring 18+ points, the second-longest streak ever behind a pair of 28-game streaks by Kansas City. Mariota helped keep that streak alive a few times when Daniels was injured, but it’s now over with him losing 28-7 in Kansas City.
28. Carson Wentz, Minnesota Vikings
Week 8 rank: 22 (-6)
Props to Carson Wentz for toughing it out last Thursday night in LA as he was grimacing after every play. It’s been reported he’s expected to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, so there’s a chance Thursday night is the last NFL game you’ll ever see him start after paying for six teams the last six seasons.
At this point, you’ve come to expect players wanting to play despite being too injured, and coaches have long seemed disinterested in telling them no. That’s just the nature of the NFL.
29. Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons
Week 8 rank: N/A (Michael Penix Jr. was No. 19)
Oof. Kirk Cousins might be cooked for good if he can’t get more offense than that going against a defense as poor as Miami. The old Cousins would have easily threw for over 225 yards and a few touchdowns with a solid completion percentage against this defense.
Instead, the Falcons didn’t find the end zone until way late in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss. Granted, it didn’t help that Drake London was out too as he’s such a pivotal part of this receiving corps, which is lacking at wide receiver. Darnell Mooney also just returned from injury and was barely a factor.
So, the Falcons had a lot of issues besides Cousins on Sunday, but it still doesn’t look like he’s a viable starter anymore even in spot duty. They need Penix to heal up quickly.
30. Dillon Gabriel, Cleveland Browns
Week 8 rank: 28 (-2)
I think we’re on Shedeur Sanders watch in Cleveland. Any week now. The Browns lost 32-13 in New England, and there were certainly more issues than rookie Dillon Gabriel. But his lack of stretching the field is a problem. He’s not really good for much else than targeting the two tight ends underneath.
But this grounding penalty in the end zone for a safety is why we might see Shedeur sooner than later.
31. Andy Dalton, Carolina Panthers
Week 8 rank: N/A (Bryce Young was No. 26)
Most of the passes Andy Dalton threw against Buffalo weren’t bad, save for a pick on an athletic play that sniffed out a WR screen all the way. But everything else was an absolute mess with the 7 sacks, 2 fumbles, and looking quite old and slow in a 40-9 beatdown.
I still say Bryce Young doesn’t win this game for Carolina either, but yeah, he would have protected the ball better than this.
32. Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans
Week 8 rank: 32 (0)
If I can offer Titans fans some hope beyond the promise of a new head coach in 2026, the team has played a tough schedule to this point with five likely playoff opponents. A sixth game was against Houston, a quality defense.
So, it hasn’t been easy on Cam Ward in any way. He never had a chance to outscore the machine that is Indy on Sunday, and he did at least finish with respectable standard passing numbers (22-of-38 for 259 yards). But only one touchdown on the first nine drives isn’t going to cut it. Three sacks on late downs are also a killer.
