In a thrilling Week 14 of the NFL season, Josh Allen has surged to the top of the quarterback rankings following a commanding victory over the 49ers. The snowy conditions in Buffalo contributed to a game that showcased Allen’s versatility, even as he had a relatively low number of passing attempts. His performance exemplified efficiency, with two touchdown passes, one of which was a remarkable play where he caught a lateral from Amari Cooper. While his running game was less active, the stability provided by the Bills’ ground attack, which amassed 170 yards, helped propel Allen into the top spot for the first time since early in the season.
Lamar Jackson, formerly ranked number one, dipped to second. Despite a strong performance against the Eagles, including two touchdown passes, key missed opportunities and communication errors impacted his standing. The Ravens’ reliance on running back Derrick Henry became evident as Jackson’s dynamic playmaking seemed slightly muted.
Joe Burrow remains a consistent force in Cincinnati, holding steady at third following another strong outing. Although turnovers marred the Bengals’ chances in their latest game, Burrow’s ability to lead and produce touchdowns cannot be overlooked.
Jared Goff continues to impress in Detroit. Despite facing a fierce challenge on Thanksgiving, he executed well within a productive offense, ranking fourth this week. His capacity to succeed even against tough defenses remains noteworthy.
Patrick Mahomes maintains a presence in the top five, ranking fifth. His effectiveness was dampened by unfinished drives, indicating a need for better execution, especially in high-pressure situations against less formidable defenses.
Jordan Love has emerged as a promising talent, rising in the ranks as a sixth-year player. His efficient play against the Dolphins demonstrated an upward trend in his development, showcasing confidence and precision.
Meanwhile, Russell Wilson has found new life with the Steelers, placing seventh after an impressive performance that included significant passing yardage and a celebrated touchdown throw. His ability to make plays in tough conditions has turned heads in the competitive AFC.
Justin Herbert slid to eighth, plagued by insufficient protection; however, he managed to keep the Chargers competitive, despite lower-than-expected outputs.
Jayden Daniels continues to attract attention as a rookie, now at ninth. A lethal combination of passing and rushing kept his Commanders competitive, reaffirming his role as a candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Sam Darnold rounds out the top ten after a resilient performance against the Cardinals. His ability to battle through pressure highlighted his growth as a clutch performer.
As the season unfolds, these rankings reflect the ongoing evolution of quarterbacks in the league. Each week delivers new challenges and opportunities, with some players thriving while others face struggles. The remainder of the season promises to be an exhilarating race as teams fight for playoff positioning.
