Joe Theismann Division

12. Kirk Cousins (LW: 13)

Cousins played well against the Dolphins, save for his pick-six on a screen pass. The Vikings need him to be virtually flawless down the stretch, especially with Philadelphia suddenly in the mix. If Cousins can earn that $84 million, Minnesota is a threat

11. Ben Roethlisberger (LW: 12)

Roethlisberger continues to throw interceptions, adding another two to his total on Sunday. Despite the 15 picks, through, Big Ben has the Steelers leading the AFC North, and he’s been heavily relied upon. It’s been a mixed bag for the veteran, but he’s doing enough.

10. Jared Goff (LW: 6)

Goff had to take a serious fall after the last two weeks. the Rams have lost both games largely because the offense has been awful. In those contests, Goff has one touchdown and six interceptions. Los Angeles isn’t going anywhere if Goff doesn’t learn to

9. Matt Ryan (LW: 10)

Ryan notched another 4,000-yard season in 2018, his eighth consecutive. The Falcons are ravaged by injury and going nowhere, but that doesn’t change the fact that Ryan is continuing to play at an elite level. Atlanta should be a major bounce-back candidate next year.
