NFL quarterback rankings, Week 13: Aaron Rodgers tumbles
Bart Starr Division
8. Aaron Rodgers (LW: 4)
Rodgers was horrendous on Sunday. This isn’t his first bad games this season, either. At some point, there has to be blame cast upon the quarterback in Green Bay. Rodgers has been good this year, but a 64.5 completion rate when your running backs are constantly targeted? Eh. Also, 7.4 YPA ranks 15th, tied with Marcus Mariota and Garnder Minshew.
7. Matt Ryan (LW: 9)
Ryan is also throwing for 7.4 YPA, but he’s on a team with no line, consistently behind in the score and with a defensive-minded coach. When Ryan had Kyle Shanahan calling the plays, he looked like Peyton Manning. After a rash of interceptions to start the year, Ryan has been fantastic.
6. Deshaun Watson (LW: 7)
Watson rebounded from an ugly game in Baltimore to beat the Colts, 20-17, on Thursday night. His line was buoyed by a ton of big plays, the kind elite quarterbacks make. All told, Watson was 19-of-30 for 298 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
5. Dak Prescott (LW: 5)
Prescott has been fantastic most of the year, and was average on Sunday against a great New England defense. Despite a driving rain, Prescott threw for 212 yards and moved throughout. He’ll need a big showing on Thanksgiving against a good defense in the Buffalo Bills.
