Week 15 saw some great quarterbacks play well as well as some of the great names struggle in trap games and games that can determine what playoff seeding the team will likely end up with once all of the dust is settled when the regular season concludes.
Here is where all 32 NFL Teams quarterbacks look after week 15 games:
Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray: D (Last week Bye Week)
Kyler Murray had a tough outing in the Cardinals’ 29-49 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Murray completed 26 passes for 211 yards, threw a touchdown against two interceptions, and rushed for 49 yards on six carries but was sacked three times and fumbled the ball twice. Murray and the Red Birds need to step up and improve their offensive play, if they want to finish the 2023 season on a high note, with only three games left on the schedule.
Atlanta Falcons: Desmond Ridder: D (Last week C-)
Desmond Ridder is a true hit-or-miss quarterback who played pretty badly in the Falcons’ week 15 7-9 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Ridder completed 12 passes for 152 yards, threw a touchdown to Cordarrelle Patterson against an interception, and wasn’t sacked at all but lost a fumble. Ridder’s struggles continued, and it may be time for the Falcons to potentially find another quarterback that is more worthy of the starting role, whether it’s through free agency or in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Baltimore Ravens: Lamar Jackson: B- (Last week B+)

Lamar Jackson played fairly well against the Jacksonville Jaguars and helped the Ravens defeat them 23-7 on Sunday Night Football. Jackson completed 24 passes for 171 yards, threw a touchdown to Isaiah Likely against an interception, and rushed for 97 yards on 12 carries but was sacked three times. Jackson played a good game but needs to avoid throwing those annoying picks, but he managed the Ravens very well, as they clinched a playoff berth.
Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen: B (Last week C)
Josh Allen performed well as the Bills shocked the Dallas Cowboys at home 31-10. Allen completed seven passes for 94 yards, threw a touchdown pass to James Cook against zero interceptions, rushed for 24 yards on eight carries, and scored a rushing touchdown but was sacked once. It was a good performance at home for Allen. He and the Bills kept their playoff hopes alive, and look on to the final three games of the regular season with hope to secure a playoff spot.
Carolina Panthers: Bryce Young: D+ (Last week F)
Bryce Young continued to struggle but he helped the Panthers secure their second win of the season against the Atlanta Falcons in a 9-7 rainy victory. Young completed 18 passes for 167 yards, threw no touchdowns or interceptions, and rushed for nine yards on four carries but was sacked three times and lost a fumble but recovered it. Young was a good game manager in this divisional victory, but the struggle still showed. The Panthers have to make a lot of improvements to the offensive line, and get Young a true offensive weapon or two, in the 2024 offseason, if they want Young to step up in the 2024 regular season.
Chicago Bears: Justin Fields: D+ (Last week B-)
Justin Fields still has a lot of work to do if he wants to be a great and effective quarterback but losing in a 17-20 close game to the Cleveland Browns doesn’t help. Fields completed 19 passes for 166 yards, threw one touchdown to Cole Kmet against two interceptions, and rushed for 30 yards on seven carries but was sacked three times and lost two fumbles. The incompletions and turnovers continue to hurt Fields’ production, which he needs to improve upon for next season, as well as have the Bears offensive line improve to protect him better.
Cincinnati Bengals: Jake Browning: B- (Last week C+)
Jake Browning stepped up in the Bengals 27-24 overtime victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Browning completed 29 passes for 324 yards and threw two touchdowns against one interception but was sacked four times. It was a very good afternoon for Browning as he kept the Bengals playoff hopes alive, as Joe Burrow recovers for the 2024 season.
Cleveland Browns: Joe Flacco: C- (Last week B-)
Joe Flacco is past his prime but is an excellent game manager who helped the Browns secure a 20-17 last-second win over the Chicago Bears. Flacco completed 28 passes for 374 yards, threw two touchdowns against three interceptions, and rushed for negative one yard on one carry but was sacked four times. Despite taking four sacks and throwing three interceptions (one of them being a pick-six), Flacco has the Browns moving in the right direction, as they get prepared for a possible playoff run, if they finish the 2023 season with three more victories.
Dallas Cowboys: Dak Prescott: D- (Last week A-)
Dak Prescott took a massive step back as the Cowboys fell 10-31 on the road to the Buffalo Bills. Prescott completed 21 passes for 134 yards, threw an interception against a touchdown, and rushed for 27 yards on four carries but was sacked three times. It was a rocky performance for Prescott and company, as the Cowboys were stunned by Buffalo, despite still holding onto first place in the NFC East with the Philadelphia Eagles losing on the road to the Seattle Seahawks.
Denver Broncos: Russell Wilson: C- (Last week B+)
Russell Wilson didn’t have a strong showcase in the Broncos 17-42 loss on the road to the Detroit Lions. Wilson completed 18 passes for 223 yards, threw a touchdown against zero interceptions, and scored a rushing touchdown from rushing six yards on seven carries but was sacked twice and lost a fumble. Despite the decent numbers, the Broncos still lost on the road to a tougher Lions team looking to secure a playoff spot. The Broncos remain on the hunt, but, thus far, they are on the outside looking in.
Detroit Lions: Jared Goff: A- (Last week D)
Jared Goff had a strong game against the Denver Broncos in a 42-17 victory. Goff completed 24 passes for 278 yards and threw five touchdowns against zero interceptions but was sacked twice in the statement victory. It was a well-earned statement victory for the Lions as they continue their quest for a playoff spot and the NFC North crown.
Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love: C (Last week C-)
Jordan Love played fair but couldn’t help the Packers get the win as they fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-34. Love completed 29 passes for 284 yards, threw two touchdowns against zero interceptions, and rushed for one yard on two carries but was sacked twice and lost a fumble. Love played fair, but couldn’t help the Packers defeat the high-powered Buccaneers’ offense, in the very end.
Houston Texans: Case Keenum: C- (Last week F)
Case Keenum who filled in for C.J. Stroud as he remained on concussion protocol filled in well and helped the Texans defeat the Tennessee Titans in a 19-16 overtime victory. Keenum completed 23 passes for 229 yards, threw a touchdown to Noah Brown against one interception, and rushed for one yard on two carries but was sacked three times. Not the best performance by a quarterback in a winning game, but at least Keenum helped the Texans get the win over the Titans, in overtime.
Indianapolis Colts: Gardner Minshew: B (Last week D)
Gardner Minshew played another great game as the Colts secured a 30-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Minshew completed 18 passes for 215 yards, threw three touchdowns against zero interceptions, and rushed for zero yards on two carries but was sacked three times. It was a good day for Minshew Mania as he continues to help secure another solid victory for the Colts, as they continue their quest for a good regular season finish and possibly a strong showing in the playoffs.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence: C- (Last week C-)
Trevor Lawrence didn’t play bad in the Jaguars 7-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens but he could’ve played a lot worse. Lawrence completed 25 passes for 264 yards, threw a touchdown against an interception, and rushed for 41 yards on four carries but fumbled the ball twice and was sacked once. The only thing that prevented Lawrence and the Jaguars from scoring more points was running into a very strong Ravens’ defense, that kept the Jaguars in check, all night long.
Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes: C (Last week C-)
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were able to snap the team’s two-game losing streak on the road against the struggling New England Patriots. Mahomes completed 27 passes for 305 yards, threw two touchdowns against two interceptions, and rushed for negative five yards on three carries but was sacked three times and recovered a lost fumble. Not the best performance for Mahomes, but he helped KC get the win, which is all that matters at the end of the day.
Las Vegas Raiders: Aidan O’Connell: A- (Last week F)
Aidan O’Connell rebounded from the Raiders week 14 loss with a massive lopsided week 15 63-21 victory. O’Connell completed 20 passes for 248 yards and threw four touchdowns against zero interceptions but was sacked once. It was a well-deserved victory for O’Connell and the Silver and Black as they clobbered the Chargers at home, in one of their largest victories of the season, as well as a chance to show the league they can be playoff spoilers against other opponents coming up!
Los Angeles Chargers: Easton Stick: C (Last week D-)
Easton Stick didn’t play a bad game statistically even though the Chargers lost to the Las Vegas Raiders 21-63. Stick completed 23 passes for 257 yards, threw three touchdowns against one interception, and rushed for 11 yards on two carries but was sacked three times and lost two fumbles. It was a brutal first half for Stick and the Chargers, but he managed to get some points on the board in the lopsided loss. He has to put the loss behind him, with three weeks to go in the regular season.
Los Angeles Rams: Matthew Stafford: B- (Last week B-)
Matthew Stafford had another good game as the LA Rams defeated the Washington Commanders 28-20. Stafford completed 25 passes for 258 yards, threw two touchdowns against zero interceptions, and rushed for two yards on one carry but was sacked three times. Stafford is a good game manager at this point in his career, and is doing everything he can to help the Rams return to the playoffs, since they won Super Bowl LVI.
Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa: B- (Last week D+)
Tua Tagovailoa had a good Sunday afternoon as the Dolphins shut out the New York Jets 30-0. Tagovailoa completed 21 passes for 224 yards and threw a touchdown to Jaylen Waddle against zero interceptions but was sacked three times. Tagovailoa played well but needs to avoid getting sacked multiple times for the Dolphins to be successful in the playoffs.
Minnesota Vikings: Nick Mullen: C (Last week F)
Nick Mullen, who replaced a struggling Joshua Dobbs in week 13, played fairly well but came up short in the Vikings’ 24-27 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Mullens completed 26 passes for 303 yards, threw two touchdowns against two interceptions and rushed for 10 yards on six carries but was sacked three times. Mullens played well but needs to play better, if he wants to keep the Vikings in the hunt for the upcoming playoffs.
New England Patriots: Bailey Zappe: D (Last week C)
Bailey Zappe can play better than Mac Jones at times but still deals with his share of struggles as he and the Patriots lost to the Kansas City Chiefs at home. Zappe completed 23 passes for 180 yards, threw a touchdown to Hunter Henry against one interception, and rushed for two yards on one carry but was sacked four times and fumbled the ball. Zappe isn’t the best quarterback for the Patriots, but he can serve as a reliable backup for the team, or any other team, depending on what happens in the 2024 offseason.
New Orleans Saints: Derek Carr: A (Last week B-)
Derek Carr has been a hit-or-miss quarterback all season long but when it comes to getting wins for the Saints like they did against the New York Giants in week 15, it’s very satisfying for Carr. Carr completed 23 passes for 218 yards, threw three touchdowns against zero interceptions, and was only sacked once. If Carr continues playing like he did against the Giants and wins out with the Saints and if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lose a game or two during the final stretch, the Saints can find themselves in the playoffs.
New York Giants: Tommy DeVito: F (Last week A)
What a difference a week makes as Tommy “Cutlets” DeVito fell back down to earth in the Giants’ 6-24 loss on the road to the New Orleans Saints. DeVito completed 20 passes for 177 yards, threw no touchdowns or interceptions, and rushed for 36 yards on four carries but was sacked seven times. Despite not throwing any touchdowns or picks, getting sacked seven times hurts, and it continued to show how much the Giants need to improve their offensive line so they can protect DeVito, Tyrod Taylor, Daniel Jones, or anyone else under center, for the Giants moving forward.
New York Jets: Trevor Siemian: F (Last week C+)
Zach Wilson originally started the game for the Jets against the Miami Dolphins but left the game early with a concussion. Wilson did complete four passes for 26 yards threw no touchdowns or touchdowns or interceptions and was sacked four times. Trevor Siemian took his place and struggled on the field. Siemian completed 14 passes for 110 yards, threw two interceptions against zero touchdowns, and was sacked twice. Whether it is Wilson, Siemian, or Aaron Rodgers, once he recovers for next season, who are under center, the Jets need to drastically improve their offensive line and improve their passing game to score more points against opposing defenses.
Philadelphia Eagles: Jalen Hurts: C- (Last week C-)
Jalen Hurts played his heart out against the Seattle Seahawks but couldn’t get the win in the Eagles’ 17-20 loss. Hurts completed 17 passes for 143 yards, threw two interceptions against zero touchdowns, rushed for 82 yards on 13 yards, scored two rushing touchdowns, and wasn’t sacked at all. Hurts played his heart out in his efforts against the Seahawks, but threw a game-ending interception to Julian Love, sinking the Eagles’ chances of winning the game and snapping their now three-game losing streak.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Mitch Trubisky: D (Last week C-)
Mitch Trubisky had a rough Saturday afternoon as the Steelers fell 13-30 against the Indianapolis Colts on the road. Trubisky threw 16 passes for 169 yards, threw one touchdown against two interceptions, rushed for one yard on two carries, and scored a rushing touchdown but was sacked three times. Despite his efforts, Trubisky was benched for Mason Rudolph who threw two passes for three yards and was sacked once. After this loss, will Trubisky start again while Kenny Pickett recovers from his sprained ankle? Only time will tell.
San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy: A (Last week B+)
Brock Purdy played an incredible game as the 49ers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 45-29. Purdy completed 16 passes for 242 yards, threw four touchdowns against zero interceptions, and wasn’t sacked at all in the victory. If Purdy continues performing as he did in week 15, he can potentially reach and win the Super Bowl with the 9ers, and dominate the league for years to come.
Seattle Seahawks: Drew Lock: B- (Last week C-)
Drew Lock played very well in the Seahawks’ 20-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles after an average performance in week 14. Lock completed 22 passes for 208 yards, and threw a touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba against zero interceptions but was sacked twice. It was a good rebound night for Lock, as he filled in very nicely for Geno Smith recovering from his groin injury.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Baker Mayfield: B- (Last week B-)
Baker Mayfield played fairly well as the Bucs defeated the Green Bay Packers 34-20. Mayfield completed 22 passes for 381 yards, threw four touchdown passes against zero interceptions, and rushed for negative two yards on two carries but was sacked five times and lost a fumble. Mayfield played well and was a great game manager for the Bucs, as they still control first place in the wide-open NFC South, and can win the division, if the Bucs win out.
Tennessee Titans: Will Levis: D- (Last week C+)
Will Levis had a tough Sunday afternoon in the Titans’ 16-19 overtime loss to the Houston Texans. Levis completed 17 passes for 199 yards, threw an interception against no touchdowns, rushed for 25 yards on four carries, and scored a rushing touchdown but was sacked seven times and fumbled the ball once. Levis needs to step up and have much better protection on the offensive line, so he can make more passing plays against opposing defenses moving forward in the 2024 season.
Washington Commanders: Sam Howell: D- (Last week Bye Week)
It was a rough afternoon for Sam Howell as he and the Commanders fell to the Los Angeles Rams 20-28. Howell completed 11 passes for 102 yards, threw a touchdown against an interception, and rushed for 22 yards on three carries but was sacked once and benched for Jacoby Brissett who completed eight passes for 124 yards and threw two touchdowns against zero interceptions. If the Commanders want to finish the 2023 season on a positive note, they need to start Brissett for their last three games or have Howell finish out the 2023 season and lose more games- if they want stronger draft capital for 2024.
