NFL quarterback rankings, Week 9: Baker Mayfield isn’t dangerous
Ken Stabler Division
12. Carson Wentz (LW: 14)
Wentz has been uneven this year, and he played average ball in Philadelphia’s win over the Bills. The wind was whipping at New Era Field, but Wentz needs to do more than 172 yards and a touchdown on 24 attempts. Next up? The Chicago Bears come to Philadelphia.
11. Philip Rivers (LW: 11)
Rivers threw for 201 yards on 6.9 YPA with a touchdown and interception. It wasn’t exactly a tour de force, but it was enough to win against a very good defense. Still, Rivers has made too may mistakes and not enough plays to put the Chargers in contention.
10. Jared Goff (LW: 12)
Goff had his best game of the year on Sunday, with a massive hat tip to Cooper Kupp. The Rams rolled to a 24-10 win over the Bengals, and Goff went for 372 yards and a pair of scores. If Los Angeles is going to threaten in the NFC West, Goff needs to keep improving.
9. Matthew Stafford (LW: 10)
Stafford continued his fine season on Sunday, throwing for 342 yards on a whopping 10.7 YPA. Tack on another three touchdowns — giving him seven in the past two weeks — and Stafford is keeping Motown in the playoff chase.
