Week 10 was a great week for quarterbacks who were able to lead their NFL teams to victories, whether they played very well from the outset or struggled and somehow managed to see their teams pull off victories.
Some quarterbacks unraveled and witnessed their team losing games painfully. With the second half of the season underway and the playoffs on their minds, the real fun begins, whether we see these quarterbacks turn it up or fall apart right before our very eyes.
Here are the grades for all 32 NFL teams’ quarterbacks after week 10.
Which quarterbacks have the highest grades for each NFL team after week 10?
Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray: A-
Murray had a very nice day for the Cardinals, as they dominated the New York Jets 31-6. Murray completed 22 passes for 266 yards, threw a touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison Jr. with no interceptions, rushed for 21 yards on three carries, and scored two rushing touchdowns but was sacked once. Murray and the Redbirds are moving in a very positive direction, as they have full command of the NFC West… for now.
Atlanta Falcons: Kirk Cousins: C-
Cousins played an average game as the Falcons were stunned 17-20 against the New Orleans Saints. Cousins completed 23 passes for 306 yards and threw an interception against no touchdowns, but he was sacked three times and fumbled the ball twice, which was recovered by his Drake London and Jake Matthews. Cousins slow start left a bad taste in the mouths of Falcons’ fans, but he and the team have to move on and get prepared for their week 11 match-up against the Denver Broncos on the road.

Baltimore Ravens: Lamar Jackson: A
Jackson played an excellent game against the Ravens’ AFC North rivals, the Cincinnati Bengals, and earned the team a very close 35-34 victory under the lights. Jackson completed 25 passes for 290 yards, threw four touchdowns with no interceptions, rushed for 33 yards on seven carries, and wasn’t sacked at all. The superstar NFL quarterback continues showing why he’s very likely going to win his third NFL MVP, thanks to his amazing game-play and offensive knowledge.
Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen: C
Josh Allen played okay against the Colts, but interceptions came back to bite him, even though the Bills defeated the Colts 30-20. Allen completed 22 passes for 280 yards, threw two interceptions against no touchdown passes, rushed for 50 yards on five carries, scored a rushing touchdown, and was sacked twice. Allen’s rushing helped the Bills out, along with throwing key passes to Mack Hollins and Khalil Shakir, as the team didn’t have Keon Coleman or Amari Cooper due to injuries.
Carolina Panthers: Bryce Young: B
Young and the Panthers built some good momentum abroad as they defeated the New York Giants 20-17 in overtime. Young completed 15 passes for 126 yards, threw a touchdown to Ja’Tavion Sanders against no interceptions, rushed for 30 yards on two carries, and was sacked only once. Young continued to show signs of improvement, but his challenge is to keep this momentum going moving forward.
Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams: F
Williams had a brutally painful afternoon as he and the Bears were humiliated in their 3-19 loss at home against the New England Patriots. Williams completed 16 passes for 120 yards, threw no touchdowns or interceptions, rushed for 15 yards on two carries, and was sacked nine times. A painful afternoon Williams would like to forget, as the Bears have completely unraveled around him. Williams and company have to move on quickly as the team gets prepared to host the visiting Green Bay Packers to town in week 11.
Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow: A-
Burrow played an excellent game for the Bengals, even though they lost a very close 34-35 battle against the Baltimore Ravens. Burrow completed 34 passes for 428 yards, threw four touchdowns with no interceptions, and rushed for six yards on two carries but was sacked three times. Burrow played a phenomenal game and connected excellently with Ja’Marr Chase, who had 264 receiving yards and scored three touchdowns on the night. Burrow and the Bengals need to rebound as they travel west for a week 11 showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football.

Cleveland Browns: Jameis Winston: Bye Week
Winston may not be the best quarterback in the NFL, but he’s played better than Deshaun Watson at times in the two games he started so far. Winston and the Browns travel south for a showdown against the New Orleans Saints.
Dallas Cowboys: Cooper Rush: F
Dak Prescott’s season is officially over, as he will undergo surgery to repair an injured hamstring. Rush attempted to help the Cowboys against the Philadelphia Eagles, even though they lost 6-34. Rush completed 13 passes for 45 yards, threw no touchdowns or interceptions, and rushed for three yards on three carries but was sacked once and lost two fumbles. Rush was benched in the game for Trey Lance, who threw an interception and was sacked twice. Regardless of who the Cowboys start at quarterback, Rush or Lance will have to step it up and try to salvage what’s left of their 2024 NFL season.
Denver Broncos: Bo Nix: B
Nix played a good game, but the Broncos lost 14-16 due to the Kansas City Chiefs blocking Will Lutz from kicking a game-winning field goal. Nix completed 22 passes for 215 yards, threw two touchdowns to Courtland Sutton and Devaughn Vele, respectively, with no interceptions, and rushed for negative five yards on three carries but was sacked twice. Nix is slowly emerging as the offensive leader for the Broncos as they continue to fight for relevancy in the AFC West.
Detroit Lions: Jared Goff: D
Even though the Lions were able to come back from being down 16 points and win 26-23, thanks to Jake Bates kicking the game-winning field goal, in the last second of the game, Goff didn’t play his best game. Goff completed 15 passes for 240 yards, threw two touchdowns against five interceptions, rushed for two yards on a carry, and, oddly enough, wasn’t sacked at all. Goff experienced firsthand that anything can happen in the blink of an eye to the very best teams in the NFL, whether it’s winning games in dominating fashion, or this case, things unraveling very quickly. Goff and the Lions return home for a week 11 showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars coming to town.
Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love: Bye Week
Love struggled in week nine against the Detroit Lions, but Love and the Packers have a lot of fight left in them in a very competitive NFC North. Love and the Packers travel to the Windy City for a divisional clash against the Chicago Bears in week 11.
Houston Texans: C.J. Stroud: D
Stroud didn’t play his best game against the Detroit Lions, as the team lost a tough 23-26 battle. Stroud completed 19 passes for 232 yards, threw a touchdown to John Metchie III against two interceptions, and rushed for five yards on a carry but was sacked four times. The new-look offensive line had a hard time adjusting as the unit was dealing with injuries. Additionally, the sophomore NFL quarterback is missing Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins. Diggs is out for the season recovering from an ACL injury. Stroud and the Texans travel to AT&T Stadium for a week 11 showdown against the Dallas Cowboys.
Indianapolis Colts: Joe Flacco: C-
Flacco played an okay game, as he and the Colts were defeated by the Buffalo Bills 20-30. Flacco completed 26 passes for 275 yards and threw two touchdowns against three interceptions but was sacked four times and lost a fumble. A tough outing for Flacco and the Colts, but head coach Shane Steichen said he’ll remain the starter… for now. Flacco and company travel east for a showdown against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Mac Jones: D
Jones started in week 10, as Trevor Lawrence was out due to a left shoulder sprain, but he couldn’t help the Jaguars, as they lost 7-12 against the Minnesota Vikings. Jones completed 14 passes for 111 yards, threw two interceptions against no touchdowns, rushed for eight yards on five carries, and scored a rushing touchdown, but was sacked three times and lost a fumble. If Lawrence is out long-term, Jones needs to rebound quickly. Otherwise, he’ll have a rough road ahead of him. Jones and the Jaguars travel north for a week 11 showdown against the Detroit Lions.
Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes: B
Mahomes had a good game for the Chiefs, as they narrowly defeated the Denver Broncos 16-14, thanks to Leo Chenal blocking Will Lutz’s potential game-winning kick. Mahomes completed 22 passes for 266 yards, threw a touchdown to Travis Kelce against no interceptions, and rushed for 19 yards on three carries but was sacked four times. Mahomes played well and kept the team afloat long enough for them to secure the win in last-second fashion, along with keeping their undefeated season alive.
Las Vegas Raiders: Gardner Minshew: Bye Week
Minshew has struggled for the 2024 season due to inconsistency and poor accuracy, even though the team has talent like rookie tight end Brock Bowers and veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. In week 11, Minshew and company travel east for a showdown against the Miami Dolphins in South Beach.
Los Angeles Chargers: Justin Herbert: A-
Herbert played very nicely for the Chargers as they defeated the Tennessee Titans 27-17. The star NFL quarterback completed 14 passes for 164 yards, threw a touchdown pass to Quentin Johnston with no interceptions, rushed for 32 yards on nine carries, scored a rushing touchdown, and wasn’t sacked at all. Another nice game for Herbert, as he has the Chargers moving in a positive direction. Herbert and the Bolts stay home for week 11 and will get prepared to welcome the Cincinnati Bengals to town on Sunday Night Football.
Los Angeles Rams: Matthew Stafford: D+
Stafford had an okay night, which could’ve been better as the Rams were stunned 15-23 against the Miami Dolphins. Stafford completed 32 passes for 293 yards, threw an interception against no touchdowns, and was sacked four times. Stafford did what he could, but the Dolphins’ defense emerged and made his night a painful one. Stafford and the Rams hit the road and will square off against the New England Patriots in week 11.
Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa: C+
Tagovailoa had a good game in Hollywood as he and the Dolphins stunned the Los Angeles Rams 23-15. The Miami star NFL quarterback completed 20 passes for 207 yards, threw a touchdown to Tyreek Hill against an interception and rushed for negative one yard on a carry but was sacked three times and lost a fumble. Tagovailoa helped the Dolphins return to the win column and snap a three-game losing streak. Tagovailoa and the Dolphins return home and prepare to host the Las Vegas Raiders coming to South Beach.
Minnesota Vikings: Sam Darnold: D
Darnold didn’t play a good game, even though he led the Vikings to a 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars without throwing a single touchdown. Darnold completed 24 passes for 241 yards, threw three interceptions against no touchdowns, and rushed for 28 yards on seven carries but was sacked once. Darnold looked underwhelming, like how he entered the league when he played for the New York Jets, rather than the guy who can potentially win Comeback Player of the Year. If Darnold continues to have rough games, he and the Vikings can potentially kiss their season goodbye. Darnold and the Vikings travel to the Music City for a week 11 showdown against the Tennessee Titans.
New England Patriots: Drake Maye: C+
Maye had a good afternoon in the Windy City as he and the Patriots defeated the Chicago Bears 19-3. Maye completed 15 passes for 184 yards, threw a touchdown to Ja’Lynn Polk against an interception, and rushed for 24 yards on four carries but was sacked once. Maye performed well and was able to connect with tight-end Austin Hooper very nicely on the road. Maye and the Patriots return home and will host the Los Angeles Rams in week 11.
New Orleans Saints: Derek Carr: B+
Carr finally had a nice game for the Saints, as they won 20-17 against the Atlanta Falcons in interim head coach Darren Rizzi’s debut. Carr completed 16 passes for 269 yards, threw two touchdowns to Marques Valdes-Scantling against no interceptions, rushed for 17 yards on four carries, and wasn’t sacked at all. Carr played nicely and snapped the Saints’ seven-game losing streak in his second game back, but the team still has a lot of work ahead of them.
New York Giants: Daniel Jones: D-
Jones had a rough Sunday abroad in Munich, Germany, as the Giants fell 17-20 in overtime against the Carolina Panthers. Jones completed 22 passes for 190 yards, threw two interceptions against no touchdowns, rushed for 26 yards on seven carries, scored a rushing touchdown, and was sacked twice. Questions are starting to emerge as to whether Jones can continue being the Giants’ starting NFL quarterback moving forward. Luckily for Jones and the Giants, the team has a bye week for week 11.
New York Jets: Aaron Rodgers: F
Rodgers and the Jets had a terrible afternoon, as they lost a painful 6-31 battle against the Arizona Cardinals in the desert. Rodgers completed 22 passes for 151 yards, threw no touchdowns or interceptions, and was sacked three times and lost a fumble. Rodgers, who is nearing the age of 41, is no longer the all-mighty quarterback he used to be when he was a four-time MVP with the Green Bay Packers. After the 2024 NFL season, the Jets may need to keep backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, draft another young quarterback for him to mentor, and potentially part ways with Rodgers.
Philadelphia Eagles: Jalen Hurts: A-
Hurts played a very nice game for the Eagles, as they dismantled the Dallas Cowboys 34-6. Hurts completed 14 passes for 202 yards, threw two touchdowns against an interception, rushed for 56 yards on seven carries, and scored two rushing touchdowns, but was sacked five times and lost a fumble. Hurts’ performance and near dominance against the Cowboys also got the Eagles back in first place in the NFC East… for now.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Russell Wilson: A-
Wilson had a very nice game for the Steelers, as they defeated the Washington Commanders in a very close 28-27 battle. Wilson completed 14 passes for 195 yards, threw three touchdowns against an interception, and rushed for three yards on four carries but was sacked three times. Ever since Wilson made his Steelers debut, he has looked incredible, and his performance against the Commanders paid off. Wilson and the Steelers return home for the team’s first divisional match-up of the 2024 season against the Baltimore Ravens.
San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy: A-
Purdy had a nice performance for the 49ers in central Florida, as they defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20. Purdy completed 25 passes for 353 yards, threw two touchdowns against no interceptions, and rushed for 17 yards on four carries but was sacked three times. Purdy and company returned from the bye week well-rested and built upon their week eight win over the Dallas Cowboys with a nice week 10 win against the Bucs. Purdy and company return home for a week 11 divisional showdown against the Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle Seahawks: Geno Smith: Bye Week
Smith has had his struggles, as he has thrown 11 touchdowns against 10 interceptions so far. Smith had an average game in week nine, where he found Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the end zone two times. Smith and the Seahawks travel south for a week 11 divisional showdown against the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara, CA.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Baker Mayfield: B
Mayfield played a good game for the Bucs, even though they lost a close 20-23 battle against the San Francisco 49ers. Mayfield completed 18 passes for 116 yards, threw a touchdown pass to Rachaad White against no interceptions, and rushed for three yards on three carries, but was sacked twice and fumbled the ball three times while he recovered two of them. Despite everything the star NFL quarterback was trying to do, the Bucs’ passing attack was missing Chris Godwin (who’s out for the season) and Mike Evans, who is projected to possibly return after the Bucs’ week 11 bye week in week 12, when the team square off against the New York Giants, on the road.
Tennessee Titans: Will Levis: C
Levis and the Titans had a decent afternoon against the Los Angeles Chargers but came up short in their 17-27 loss on the road. Levis completed 18 passes for 175 yards, threw two touchdowns to Calvin Ridley against no interceptions, and rushed for 41 yards on five carries but was sacked seven times. Levis’ play is improving from how he started the 2024 season, even though he still has a lot of work ahead of him if the Titans want to have a somewhat respectable 2024 season.
Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels: C
Jayden Daniels didn’t play his best game of the season, but he played decently enough even as the Commanders lost 27-28 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie NFL quarterback completed 17 passes for 202 yards, threw no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed for five yards on three carries but was sacked three times. It would’ve been nice to see Daniels throw a touchdown in the game, but the Steelers’ defense is an aggressive unit, and he held up well against them. Daniels and the Commanders travel north for a week 11 divisional match-up against the Philadelphia Eagles on the road.
