Week 11 was a very crazy week for NFL quarterbacks, as some of the best signal callers in the league played their hearts out on the gridiron, whether they won games or lost.
Other quarterbacks struggled on the field. Well, no one is perfect, but they can’t continue to drop their production. Otherwise, the positives from their seasons will be forgotten with a shroud of negativity. There’s still time to turn things around, but there are only a few weeks left in the regular season. Time is quickly running out.
Here are the grades for all 32 NFL teams’ quarterbacks after week 11.
Which NFL quarterbacks have the highest grades after week 11?
Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray: Bye Week
Kyler Murray has had a very nice 2024 season, as he and the Cardinals are currently in first place in a very competitive NFC West. Murray and company have a tough road test in week 12 when they square off against the Seattle Seahawks.
Atlanta Falcons: Kirk Cousins: D-
Kirk Cousins had another disastrous performance for the Falcons, as they were dropped 6-38 against the Denver Broncos. Cousins completed 18 passes for 173 yards, threw an interception against no touchdowns, and rushed for zero yards on four carries but was sacked three times. It was Cousins’ second straight week where he didn’t throw a touchdown pass and struggled on the field offensively. If Cousins continues to struggle, head coach Raheem Morris needs to consider starting rookie Michael Penix Jr. sooner rather than later.

Baltimore Ravens: Lamar Jackson: C-
Jackson played a rough game in the Steel City, as he and the Ravens were defeated 16-18 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson completed 16 passes for 207 yards, threw a touchdown to Zay Flowers against an interception, and rushed for 46 yards on four carries, and was sacked twice. Jackson did everything he could to help the team, but the Steelers’ defense was too much for Jackson and company. They also stopped Jackson from attempting a two-point conversion to tie the game up and possibly head into overtime and possibly win the game. What ifs just don’t count.
Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen: A-
Josh Allen stepped up as he and the Bills conquered the Kansas City Chiefs in a David and Goliath-styled 30-21 victory over the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. Allen completed 27 passes for 262 yards, threw a touchdown to Curtis Samuel against an interception, rushed for 55 yards on 12 carries, scored a rushing touchdown, and wasn’t sacked at all. It takes a special kind of NFL quarterback to overcome one of the best defenses in the league. Allen played a great game against the Chiefs’ defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo’s elite defense. Allen and the Bills get to relax and enter a bye week in week 12.
Carolina Panthers: Bryce Young: Bye Week
Young has played pretty well as of recently, even though the Panthers are a complete mess. Young and the Panthers will have a very tough week 12 matchup at home when they welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to town.
Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams: C
Williams had a much better performance for the Bears under new offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, but the Bears fell 19-20 thanks to Green Bay Packers defensive end Karl Brooks blocking Cairo Santos’ field goal. Williams completed 23 passes for 231 yards, threw no touchdowns or interceptions, rushed for 70 yards on nine carries, and was sacked three times. Williams looked like the star the Bears envisioned, as he played confidently in the passing attack and helped the rushing attack despite the loss. Williams and company continue their home defense as they get set to welcome the Minnesota Vikings to town in week 12.
Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow: A-
Burrow played a very good game for the Bengals under the lights of Sunday Night Football, but he and the Bengals lost a tough 27-34 battle against the Los Angeles Chargers. Burrow completed 28 passes for 356 yards, threw three touchdowns against no interceptions, and rushed for 28 yards on two carries but was sacked three times. Burrow’s excellent performance, even in the loss, wasn’t enough, as the Chargers outdid them with one more touchdown on the board. Burrow and the Bengals luckily enter a week 12 bye week.

Cleveland Browns: Jameis Winston: B
Winston had a good game for the Browns statistically, but he couldn’t help the Browns overcome the New Orleans Saints in the team’s 14-35 loss on the road. Winston completed 30 passes for 395 yards, threw two touchdowns against no interceptions, and rushed for eight yards on a carry but was sacked three times. Even though Winston almost threw for 400 yards, his efforts weren’t enough, as he threw 16 incompletions in the game, which ultimately cost the Browns their chance at more points on the board.
Dallas Cowboys: Cooper Rush: C-
Rush played a somewhat decent game for the Cowboys in Dak Prescott’s absence, even though the Cowboys lost 10-34 against the Houston Texans. Rush completed 32 passes for 354 yards, threw a touchdown to KaVontae Turpin against an interception, and rushed for two yards on two carries but was sacked five times. As decent of a passer as Rush is, his efforts weren’t enough against the fierce Texans’ defense. Rush and the Cowboys travel east for a week 12 divisional showdown against the Washington Commanders.
Denver Broncos: Bo Nix: A
Bo Nix had himself an amazing game for the Broncos, as they cruised past the New Orleans Saints in a commanding 38-6 victory at home. Nix completed 28 passes for 307 yards, threw four touchdowns against no interceptions, and rushed for five yards on two carries but was sacked once. Nix showed drastic improvement from his start in the league. Nix has become the team’s new franchise NFL quarterback as he continues to improve and help the Broncos return to relevance.
Detroit Lions: Jared Goff: A+
Goff had himself a field day as he and the Lions dismantled the Jacksonville Jaguars 52-6. Goff completed 24 passes for 412 yards, threw four touchdowns with no interceptions, rushed for 21 yards on four carries, and wasn’t sacked at all. Goff and the Lions are on a mission to return to the NFC Championship game and potentially punch their ticket to the Super Bowl.
Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love: B+
Love played a good game for the Packers in the Windy City, as they narrowly defeated the Chicago Bears 20-19. Love completed 13 passes for 261 yards, threw a touchdown to Jayden Reed against an interception, rushed for 18 yards on four carries, and scored a rushing touchdown but was sacked once. Love had a very nice rebound game after the team’s week nine loss against the Detroit Lions. Love was instrumental in the Packers’ victory over the Bears, which was a very close divisional battle.
Houston Texans: C.J. Stroud: C
Stroud had a decent performance against the Dallas Cowboys as the Texans won 34-10 on Monday Night Football. Stroud completed 23 passes for 257 yards, threw an interception against no touchdowns, and rushed for 26 yards on three carries but was sacked once. Stroud may not have played his best game for the Texans, but his offensive leadership helped guide the team to a very nice victory against their in-state rivals.
Indianapolis Colts: Anthony Richardson: A-
Who are you? And what have you done with Richardson, as he led the Colts to a very nice 28-27 victory on the road against the New York Jets? The team finally benched Joe Flacco due to his struggles. Richardson completed 20 passes for 272 yards, threw a touchdown to Josh Downs against no interceptions, rushed for 32 yards on 10 carries, and scored two rushing touchdowns. Richardson needs to continue playing like this for the Colts as they try to right the ship for a positive finish to the 2024 season. Richardson and the Colts return home for week 12 and will welcome the Detroit Lions to town.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Mac Jones: F
Jones had a very brutal afternoon, which he would like to forget about, as he and the Jaguars were dismantled 6-52 against the Detroit Lions. Jones completed 17 passes for 128 yards, threw an interception against no touchdowns, rushed for seven yards on two carries, and was sacked once. A very painful afternoon Jones would like to forget about while Trevor Lawrence recovers from his left shoulder sprain.
Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes: B
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ quest for an undefeated season came to an end as they lost a very tough and intense 21-30 battle in the late afternoon against the Buffalo Bills in Western New York. Mahomes completed 23 passes for 196 yards, threw three touchdowns against two interceptions, and was sacked twice. Mahomes played very well statistically, but he threw a costly interception intended for Travis Kelce to Terrell Bernard with 1:17 seconds left in the game, ending the Chiefs’ chance of getting more points on the board. Mahomes and company travel to the Tar Heel state in week 12 for a showdown against the Carolina Panthers.
Las Vegas Raiders: Gardner Minshew: C
Minshew and the Raiders showed some improvement on offense under interim offensive coordinator Scott Turner but fell 19-34 against the Miami Dolphins. Minshew completed 30 passes for 282 yards, threw two touchdowns against an interception, and was sacked three times. Minshew and Brock Bowers flowed nicely in Turner’s system but weren’t able to earn the win over the Dolphins, as the Raiders’ defense fell flat in the game.
Los Angeles Chargers: Justin Herbert: A-
Herbert had a very nice game for the Chargers, as they won a very tight neck-and-neck battle against the Cincinnati Bengals. Herbert completed 17 passes for 297 yards, threw two touchdowns against no interceptions, and rushed for 65 yards on five carries but was sacked twice. The star NFL quarterback continued to shine and look like an MVP-like candidate under head coach Jim Harbaugh’s tutelage as the Chargers compete for a spot in the playoffs, with only a few more weeks to go in the regular season.
Los Angeles Rams: Matthew Stafford: A
Stafford had a very productive game, as he and the Rams defeated the New England Patriots 28-22. Stafford completed 18 passes for 295 yards, threw four touchdowns against no interceptions, rushed for no yards on four carries, and wasn’t sacked at all. A great afternoon for Stafford as he led the Rams to a nice rebound victory over the rebuilding Patriots.
Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa: A-
Tagovailoa had a nice afternoon for the Dolphins as they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 34-19. Tagovailoa completed 28 passes for 288 yards, threw three touchdowns with no interceptions, and was only sacked twice. Tagovailoa has continued to improve, ever since his return from dealing with a concussion. He’s helping the Dolphins return to relevance as the second half of the season continues to move forward.
Minnesota Vikings: Sam Darnold: B+
Darnold started the game shaky, as he lost a fumble, but overcame that error and helped the Vikings secure a 23-13 win over the Tennessee Titans on the road. Darnold completed 20 passes for 246 yards, threw two touchdowns against no interceptions, rushed for 18 yards on eight carries, and scored a rushing touchdown, but was sacked twice and lost a fumble. Darnold has shown he can overcome mistakes with his lost fumble and can push on through with the offense beside him, helping him out each step of the way on the path to victory.
New England Patriots: Drake Maye: C+
Maye continued to show promise as the Patriots’ focal point in their rebuild, even though the team lost 22-28 against the Los Angeles Rams. Maye completed 30 passes for 282 yards, threw two touchdowns against an interception, and rushed for 27 yards on three carries but was sacked three times and lost a fumble. The turnovers hurt, but Maye will move on from them as he continues to improve as an NFL quarterback in a very competitive league.
New Orleans Saints: Derek Carr: A-
Carr has been playing a lot better ever since Darren Rizzi was named the Saints’ interim head coach, as he and the team earned a very nice 35-14 win over the Cleveland Browns. Carr completed 21 passes for 248 yards, threw two touchdowns with no interceptions, and rushed for eight yards on a carry but was sacked once. Carr needs to continue playing like this for the remaining weeks to come, as the Saints are doing everything they can to stay relevant in their 2024 season.
New York Giants: Daniel Jones: Bye Week
The Daniel Jones era for the Giants may have come to an end, as the struggling signal caller was benched in favor of Tommy DeVito. Will this help the Giants turn things around? Eh, only time will tell.
New York Jets: Aaron Rodgers: B
Rodgers played a very nice game for the Jets, but he couldn’t get the job done, as the Jets fell 27-28 against the Indianapolis Colts. Rodgers completed 22 passes for 184 yards, threw two touchdowns with no interceptions, and rushed for seven yards on a carry but was sacked three times. Despite everything Rodgers did for the Jets in week 11, the former star NFL quarterback was sacked in the final seconds of the game, which ended an attempt to get the Jets at field goal range or a chance to score a touchdown to get in the win column.
Philadelphia Eagles: Jalen Hurts: B+
Hurts played a nice game for the Eagles, as they came back from a 3-7 halftime deficit against the Washington Commanders and won 26-18 under the Thursday night lights. Hurts completed 18 passes for 221 yards, threw no touchdowns or interceptions, rushed for 39 yards on 10 carries, and scored a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter but was sacked twice. Hurts continues to impress as an offensive leader, as he completed eight of his final passes against the blitz for 109 yards in the fourth quarter.
Hurts said, “There was never a shadow of a doubt,” after the game. Hurts and the Eagles travel to the West Coast for a Sunday night showdown against the Los Angeles Rams.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Russell Wilson: D+
Russell Wilson may not have thrown a touchdown in the team’s Week 11 divisional showdown against the Baltimore Ravens, but he managed a good game and helped set up kicker Chris Boswell to kick six field goals in the 18-16 victory. Wilson completed 23 passes for 205 yards, threw an interception against no touchdowns, and rushed for a yard on four carries but was sacked four times. Wilson connected quite nicely with George Pickens, as he hauled in eight receptions for 89 yards, but it would’ve been nice to see Wilson throw a touchdown pass in the game.
San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy: C
Purdy played a good game for the 49ers, but he and the team couldn’t secure the win, as they lost 17-20 against their divisional rivals, the Seattle Seahawks. Purdy completed 21 passes for 159 yards, threw a touchdown pass to Jauan Jennings against an interception, rushed for 40 yards on five carries, and scored a rushing touchdown but was sacked twice. Purdy played well even though the rest of the 49ers’ offense struggled as they missed George Kittle, who was out due to a hamstring injury. Purdy and company hit the road in week 12 when they square off against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Seattle Seahawks: Geno Smith: C+
Geno Smith played an alright game as he helped guide the Seahawks to a close 20-17 victory on the road against the San Francisco 49ers. Smith completed 25 passes for 221 yards, threw an interception against no touchdown passes, rushed for 29 yards on four carries, and scored a rushing touchdown but was sacked four times. When it comes to helping the Seahawks come through with victories, Smith has stepped up and helped the team earn their stripes when it matters the most. Smith and the Seahawks return home for a week 12 divisional showdown against the Arizona Cardinals coming to town.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Baker Mayfield: Bye Week
Mayfield continues to play well even though the Bucs were on a four-game losing streak, as the team’s passing attack has struggled without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Luckily for Mayfield, Evans took the field for practice and could potentially be back for the Bucs in week 12 when they square off against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
Tennessee Titans: Will Levis: D+
Levis had an okay game, but mistakes hurt his production as the Titans fell 13-23 against the Minnesota Vikings. Levis completed 17 passes for 295 yards, threw a touchdown to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine against a costly interception, and rushed for 18 yards on seven carries but was sacked five times. The struggling NFL quarterback has improved after taking some time off, but he needs to avoid throwing those costly turnovers and getting sacked by opposing defenses, which is easier said than done.
Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels: C-
Daniels had an okay night, which could’ve been worse, as the Commanders lost 18-26 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Daniels completed 22 passes for 191 yards, threw a touchdown pass to Zach Ertz against an interception, and rushed for 18 yards on seven carries but was sacked three times. The Eagles’ secondary made things miserable for Daniels, as none of his wide receivers were able to top 10 yards in the air, while Ertz and Austin Ekeler combined for 136 receiving yards. Daniels and company return home for another divisional showdown against the woeful Dallas Cowboys in week 12.
