Roethlisberger comes off the bye to get Philadelphia, a team with a good pass rush but holes in the secondary. The Steelers need Big Ben to play more consistently after what has been three consecutive uneven performances.
2020 stats: 1,006 yards | 71.3 completion % | 8 TDs | 2 INTs | 7.8 YPA | 80.1 QBR

After falling seven spots last week, Brees regains a few rungs. After throwing an interception (batted ball) on his first attempt in Detroit, he settled in with 246 yards and a pair of scoring strikes. Also, Brees was more aggressive, with 13-of-25 targets being 10+ yards.

Tannehill has a huge opportunity to impress with the Bills coming to town. So far, Buffalo’s talented defense has been shredded by the likes of Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jared Goff and to an extent, Derek Carr. With COVID dominating the headlines — and roster — in Nashville, can Tannehill lead the Titans to an upset win at home?

Two trains of thought on Watson … He’s incredibly talented and surrounded by a complete s**t sandwich in Houston … He’s also erratic in the pocket and makes a bad situation worse by not getting rid of the ball on time. Overall, his talent, intellect and arm talent make him a top-10 quarterback, but this has been a tough year.
2020 stats: 1,063 yards | 72.1 completion % | 6 TDs | 2 INTs | 8.7 YPA | 72.5 QBR

Goff and the Rams did all they could to leave the Giants in it last weekend. However, they did enough, largely on the back of a strong defensive showing. When Goff has a running game aiding him and can get into a rhythm, he’s deadly. If not, he’s what we saw Sunday.
2020 stats: 1,246 yards | 64.6 completion % | 7 TDs | 2 INTs | 7.4 YPA | 65.8 QBR

Tough week to grade Ryan. He was average against Green Bay, but was largely throwing to receiver nobody has heard of. Additionally, Atlanta was down big most of the night, putting him under siege. Ryan can still play, but the Falcons can’t.
