Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season will begin on Thursday night, and the Ravens will begin preparation for a critical Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Baltimore is 7-4, and Lamar Jackson may have slipped some in the MVP race, and one of the actual measuring sticks of his candidacy will be where he lands in Total QBR entering the playoffs.
When evaluating quarterback play, a trusted metric is ESPN’s Total QBR rating, which does more than take into account statistics.
According to ESPN, Adjusted Total Quarterback Rating (QBR) “values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses.”
So where do Jackson and other NFL quarterbacks, including the Bengals’ Joe Burrow, Cardinals’ Kyler Murray, Eagles’ Jalen Hurts, 49ers’ Brock Purdy, Bills’ Josh Allen, and Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, rank entering Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season?
Here’s a look at the QBR ratings for all 32 NFL quarterbacks ahead of Steelers (8-2) at Browns (2-8).
