10 weeks. That’s all we have left in the 2026 NFL regular season. By the end of next week, we will be halfway done with the year, which feels so wrong considering how long the offseason was.

Usually at the beginning of the year, you get some outlier performances that can skew things, but by after eight weeks, we usually have a pretty good idea of which quarterbacks are playing well and which ones aren’t.

After every week, we’ve been ranking all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks, and let’s just say the entire list got a pretty big shake up this week.

32. Justin Herbert

25. Tyler Huntley

24. Cam Ward

23. Deshaun Watson

22. Michael Penix Jr.

Look, I get the weather was awful, but you can’t complete 33.3 percent of your throws and have four interceptions with no touchdowns. You just can’t. Penix tumbles down the list after that performance.

21. J.J. McCarthy

20. Bo Nix

I got a lot of hate for this in a comment section last week so let me go into more detail. In their five losses, they’ve played the 14th, 15th, 24th, 27th and 30th ranked defenses in the NFL, and he’s averaging 21 PPG, which would rank 26th in the league. It’s empty calories most of the time.

1. Joe Burrow

You can criticize Joe Burrow for his three interceptions, but when his team needed him, he stepped up. He completed 79.2 percent of his passes for 462 yards and five touchdowns while adding a game-winning rushing touchdown in overtime on top of that. If they had anyone else under center, they lose that game.
