We saw some great quarterback play in week 11 from some big names the likes of Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, and Dak Prescott but we also saw some quarterbacks go down with season-ending injuries like Joe Burrow and Deshaun Watson, and we saw some quarterbacks absolutely struggle to the point where they got benched in favor of someone else.
Here is where all 32 NFL Teams quarterbacks look after week 11 games:
Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray: C (Last week C+)
Kyler Murray played an okay game against the Houston Texans and almost led the Red Birds to a comeback victory only to have his pass to Marquise Brown deflected by Steven Nelson with 35 seconds left in the game. Murray completed 20 passes for 214 yards, threw one touchdown against one interception, rushed for 51 yards on seven carries, and scored a rushing touchdown but was sacked three times in the game. Murray is still shaking off the cobwebs from not playing for most of the season due to recovering from his ACL surgery. Murray certainly will help the Cardinals earn more wins, but could also suffer more losses for the remainder of the season if his game remains in the average range.
Atlanta Falcons: Taylor Heinicke: Bye Week (Last week D)
The Falcons need to do everything in their power to keep Taylor Heinicke healthy and prepared for the coming weeks as well as make sure Desmond Ridder is on par with Heinicke’s production just in case he needs to get back out on the field.
Baltimore Ravens: Lamar Jackson: B+ (Last week C+)

It was all business for Lamar Jackson as he and the Ravens secured the 34-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson completed 16 passes for 264 yards and threw two touchdowns but was sacked three times. Jackson also rushed for 54 yards on nine carries as his performance was a massive improvement from his week 10 performance against the Cleveland Browns. It’s upward and onwards for Jackson as he continues to lead the Ravens to a possible AFC North crown.
Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen: B (Last week C-)
Josh Allen had a very good bounce-back performance as he and the Bills snapped their two-game losing streak with a 32-6 victory over the struggling New York Jets. Allen completed 20 passes for 275 yards, threw three touchdowns against one interception, rushed for 15 yards on five carries, and was sacked once. Allen is a great quarterback who can lead this Bills team very far in the regular season and this victory was well earned for Allen as he helps the Bills try to regain control of the AFC East.
Carolina Panthers: Bryce Young: F+ (Last week D+)
Bryce Young had a very tough outing in the Panthers’ week 11 10-33 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Young completed 16 passes for 123 yards, threw one touchdown to Tommy Tremble in the third quarter against one interception returned for a touchdown which hurt the Panthers even more, and was sacked seven times. It was a disastrous performance for Young as the offense couldn’t do much to protect him from a vicious Cowboy defense. Young needs to move forward and try to get the Panthers a couple more wins on the season before it’s too late.
Chicago Bears: Justin Fields: C (Last week C-)
Justin Fields made his triumphant return to action in the Bears week 11 26-31 loss to the Detroit Lions. Fields completed 16 passes for 169 yards, threw one touchdown pass to DJ Moore, threw no interceptions, and rushed for 104 yards on 18 carries but was sacked twice. Fields can be a great game manager and leader for the Bears, but needs to get more going on offense if the team wants to earn more wins.
Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow: C (Last week B-)
It was a very tough game for Joe Burrow against the Baltimore Ravens’ defense. Burrow completed 11 passes for 101 yards and threw one touchdown but was sacked twice. Burrow did leave the game with an injured wrist and has to miss the remainder of the season with wrist surgery. Jake Browning stepped in and completed eight passes for 68 yards and threw a touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase but was sacked three times. It’s going to be very painful for the Bengals to continue without Joe Burrow but Browning must be ready and prepared to take the starting snap against opponents for the rest of the season.
Cleveland Browns: Dorian Thompson-Robinson: C (Last week: No grade)
With Deshaun Watson out for the remainder of the 2023 season. Dorian Thompson-Robinson got the start for Cleveland as he completed 24 passes for 165 yards, and threw one interception against no touchdowns but was sacked only once by T.J. Watt. Thompson-Robinson isn’t the best backup quarterback in the league as the last time he started a game resulted in a 28-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens but he did command the offense to a victory over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns did sign Joe Flacco to the practice squad, adding a Super Bowl-winning veteran quarterback to help them out as their season continues.
Dallas Cowboys: Dak Prescott: A (Last week A-)
Dak Prescott truly shined in the Cowboys’ week 11 33-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Prescott completed 25 passes for 189 yards, threw two touchdowns against zero interceptions, and was not sacked at all in the entire game. Prescott proved once again he is the true leader of the Dallas Cowboys leading them to a very impressive victory over a struggling team as they await more challenging opponents down the road.
Denver Broncos: Russell Wilson: C+ (Last week C+)
Russell Wilson continued to be a good and successful game manager for the Broncos as they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 21-20 in the last minutes of Sunday Night Football. Wilson completed 27 passes for 259 yards, threw a touchdown against zero interceptions, and rushed for one yard on two carries but was sacked twice. Wilson and the Broncos are surprisingly cooking fairly well and can sneak into the playoffs if they continue winning more games out of nowhere and cause some noise like the 2011 Broncos did with Tim Tebow at the helm.
Detroit Lions: Jared Goff: C+ (Last week A-)
Jared Goff may not have played his best game but he was still able to help the Lions come from behind and defeat the Chicago Bears 31-26. Goff completed 23 passes for 236 yards, threw two touchdowns against three interceptions, and rushed for three yards on two carries but was sacked twice. Goff needs to not turn the ball over as much as he did in week 11 if the Lions want to capture the NFC North crown as well as be competitive in the playoffs. However, this was a divisional game and most divisional matchups are extra competitive.
Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love: C (Last week C-)
Jordan Love may not be the long-term success plan for the Packers since trading Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets but he can manage games somewhat well. Love completed 27 passes for 322 yards, threw two touchdowns against zero interceptions but was sacked three times and fumbled the ball twice and recovered one of his fumbles. If Love wants to be successful in the NFL, he needs to up his offensive performance some more as well as make key passes but at the end of the day, a win is a win and that’s what the Packers got in their week 11 23-20 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Houston Texans: C.J. Stroud: C- (Last week B)
CJ Stroud did not have a good performance against the Arizona Cardinals despite the 21-16 victory. Stroud completed 27 passes for 336 yards, threw two touchdowns against a career-high three interceptions, and rushed for negative one yard on one carry but was sacked three times. Stroud needs to improve in the coming weeks if the Texans want to compete for the AFC South crown and possibly in the playoffs.
Indianapolis Colts: Gardner Minshew: Bye Week (Last week C)
Gardner Minshew is a great backup quarterback so far as he is leading the Colts to a potential Wildcard appearance depending on how the team will finish the 2023 season.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence: B+ (Last week F)
Trevor Lawrence had a refreshing game after his week 10 disappointment against the San Francisco 49ers in the Jaguars’ week 11 34-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Lawrence completed 24 passes for 262 yards, threw two touchdowns against zero interceptions, rushed for 17 yards on five carries, and scored two rushing touchdowns but was sacked only once. This is the Trevor Lawrence that fans want to see continually get better and better against opposing defenses. If Lawrence continues to play like this, he can lead the Jaguars to the AFC Championship game.
Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes: B- (Last week Bye Week)
Despite losing to the Philadelphia Eagles, Patrick Mahomes played fairly well. Mahomes completed 24 passes for 177 yards, threw two touchdowns against one interception, and rushed for 38 yards on six carries but was sacked once. Mahomes also had a quarterback rating (QBR) of 42.4 in the game and did everything he could to get the win only for a couple of incomplete passes that stung the Chiefs at the end of the night.
Las Vegas Raiders: Aidan O’Connell: D- (Last week C)
It was a downward turn for the rookie Aidan O’Connell as he and the Raiders fell to the Miami Dolphins 13-20. O’Connell completed 24 passes for 271 yards, threw one touchdown against three interceptions, and rushed for three yards on one carry but was sacked twice. It was a brutal game for O’Connell as incompletions and interceptions hurt his performance as well as tossing the game-ending interception to Jalen Ramsey in the endzone with 32 seconds left on the clock. O’Connell needs to rebound fast in week 12 or he’ll end up back on the bench in place of Jimmy Garoppolo.
Los Angeles Chargers: Justin Herbert: C+ (Last week A-)
Justin Herbert may have outplayed Jordan Love in the Chargers vs Packers week 11 showdown only Herbert to throw an incomplete pass to Quentin Johnston at the very tail end of the game. Herbert completed 21 passes for 260 yards, threw two touchdowns against zero interceptions, and rushed for 73 yards on eight carries but was sacked twice. Herbert also had a quarterback rating of 82.9 while Jordan Love had a QBR of 54.6 in the showdown. Unfortunately, that final incomplete pass gave Herbert and the Chargers the loss on the road that hurt them in the end.
Los Angeles Rams: Matthew Stafford: C (Last week Bye Week)
Matthew Stafford may not be the quarterback he was in his Detroit days or his 2021 season, but he can still help the Rams to victory. Stafford completed 17 passes for 190 yards, threw one touchdown against one interception, and rushed for one yard on two carries but was sacked once. Stafford looks like he’ll possibly call it a career after this season but you never know as Stafford does have some gas left in the tank as he tries to help the Rams try to salvage their season.
Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa: B (Last week Bye Week)
After a sloppy performance by Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins in their week nine matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, Tagovailoa returned from the team’s week 10 bye to help the Dolphins secure a 20-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Tagovailoa completed 28 passes for 325 yards, threw two touchdowns against one interception, and rushed for six yards on two carries but was sacked once. It was a well-needed victory for Tagovailoa and the Dolphins as they look to get back on track to conquer the AFC East and get back into the playoffs by the end of the season.
Minnesota Vikings: Joshua Dobbs: C+ (Last week B)
Joshua Dobbs continued to play well despite losing in the final minutes of Sunday Night Football 20-21 to the Denver Broncos. Dobbs completed 20 passes for 221 yards, threw a touchdown against an interception, rushed for 21 yards, and scored a rushing touchdown but was sacked twice. It was a tough gut-wrenching loss for Dobbs and the Vikings in the final minutes but Dobbs will bounce back from this and keep the Vikings afloat in the NFC North.
New England Patriots: Mac Jones: Bye Week (Last week D)
Mac Jones is not having a great season with the Patriots and eventually needs to improve or find a new home that will greatly utilize his talents for the better.
New Orleans Saints: Jameis Winston: Bye Week (Last week C-)
Derek Carr needs to stay healthy and Jameis Winston needs to be prepared to lead the Saints if Carr gets hurt and is out long-term.
New York Giants: Tommy DeVito: C (Last week D)
Tommy DeVito isn’t the best quarterback in the league but he managed to help the Giants get the 31-19 win over the Washington Commanders. DeVito completed 18 passes for 246 yards, threw three touchdowns against three interceptions, and rushed for seven yards on one carry but was sacked nine times all game. The New York Giants’ offensive line continues to show it is a massive problem as DeVito was sacked too many times by the Commanders in the game. DeVito may have played a fair game but needs a lot more protection from a better offensive line if he wants to stay relevant in the NFL.
New York Jets: Zach Wilson: F (Last week D+)
Zach Wilson truly struggled in the Jets 6-32 loss against the Buffalo Bills in their week 11 loss. Wilson completed seven passes for 81 yards as he threw one touchdown against one interception and rushed for 15 yards on four carries but was sacked five times. Wilson was an absolute disaster in Western New York as the Jets fell apart very quickly on the field. Because of his poor performance, Wilson was benched for backup Tim Boyle who’ll make the start in the Jets’ week 12 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
Philadelphia Eagles: Jalen Hurts: C+ (Last week Bye Week)
Jalen Hurts didn’t play as well as Patrick Mahomes but he did lead the Eagles to victory over the Chiefs in a revenge game. Hurts completed 14 passes for 150 yards, but did not throw a touchdown as he threw an interception, rushed for 29 yards on 12 carries, and scored two rushing touchdowns but was sacked five times. Hurts was merely a game-manager in the Eagles’ Super Bowl 57 revenge victory but needs to play better as the season winds down to the select few teams who’ll make the playoffs.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Kenny Pickett: D+ (Last week C+)
Kenny Pickett had a below-average performance in the Steelers’ week 11 10-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Pickett completed 15 passes for 106 yards and threw no touchdowns or interceptions but was sacked three times. With Matt Canada relieved of his duties as offensive coordinator for the Steelers, Pickett’s production might improve but for now, other quarterbacks will continue to produce more. Pickett does have the talent to be a great game-managing quarterback in the league, but he needs to bounce back from this loss.
San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy: A- (Last week A-)
Brock Purdy continued to shine as he and the 49ers dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-14. Purdy completed 21 passes for 333 yards, threw three touchdowns against zero interceptions, and rushed for 14 yards on four carries but was sacked four times. Purdy played a near-flawless game as he and the 49ers continue to cruise in the NFC West.
Seattle Seahawks: Geno Smith: C (Last week B-)
Geno Smith did everything he could to give the Seahawks a chance to win the game but the Seahawks fell short 16-17 to the Los Angeles Rams due to Jason Myers missing a field goal. Smith completed 22 passes for 233 yards, threw a touchdown to DK Metcalf, and zero interceptions but was sacked twice. Smith also left the game briefly with bruised triceps which saw Drew Lock take some snaps before Smith returned and finished the job. Lock threw an interception in his try. The Seahawks are wise to start Smith in the team’s next game because the team would certainly struggle with Drew Lock commanding the offense.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Baker Mayfield: C- (Last week B-)
Baker Mayfield played an average game in the Buccaneers’ 14-27 week 11 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mayfield completed 29 passes for 246 yards, threw one touchdown against one interception, and rushed for five yards on three carries but was sacked four times. Mayfield’s effort was there but he couldn’t get the victory on the road against a tough and physical 49ers team.
Tennessee Titans: Will Levis: D+ (Last week F)
Will Levis played slightly better than he did in the Titans week 10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but the Titans came up short in their week 11 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Levis completed 13 passes for 158 yards, threw two touchdowns against zero interceptions, and rushed for two yards on four carries, but was sacked twice. Levis needs to drastically improve and find a way to get himself and the Titans out of the losing streak they’re currently in or continue losing to obtain a better draft pick.
Washington Commanders: Sam Howell: D (Last week C+)
Sam Howell’s performance took a step back in the Commanders’ 19-31 week 11 loss to the New York Giants. Howell completed 31 passes for 255 yards, threw one touchdown against three interceptions, rushed for 35 yards on three carries, and scored a rushing touchdown but was sacked four times. One of Howell’s interceptions was returned for a 54-yard pick-six. Howell’s production and performance need to improve and not turn the ball over if he wants to make the Commanders a relevant team as the team continues to trek forward for the rest of the 2023 season.
