Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings: Ranking All 32 QBs With 6 Weeks Left In The Season

We are officially thirteen weeks into the 2025/26 NFL season and there are only six weeks remaining until the NFL Playoffs begin. There was a LOT of movement in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings with the #1 overall QB being unseated after holding down that #1 spot for most of the season.

I dare say the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings saw more movement than any other week this season. The top 5, top 10, and top 20 all look drastically different this week compared to last.

Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings: Ranking All 32 NFL QBs From Worst To Best

It was only a matter of time until the league’s best quarterback this season slipped up. He tied his season total of interceptions in Week 12 alone. That enabled two QBs to shift up while the rest of the top 10 got shuffled around as well. Let’s get to it!

32. Max Brosmer – Minnesota Vikings (Prev. Unranked)

Minnesota’s J.J. McCarthy was out with a concussion and that led to rookie QB Max Brosmer getting the start. Suffice it to say, however Max Brosmer dreamed his NFL debut would go this was not that.

Brosmer was 19/30 passing for 126 yards. He threw for 0 touchdowns and 4 interceptions while taking 4 sacks. The Vikings got shutout, losing 26-0 on the road at Seattle. It was ugly and it was well deserving of the last place spot in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings.

31. Cam Ward – Tennessee Titans (Prev. 29)

Why does Tennessee insist on rolling Cam Ward out every week at this point in the season? The Titans are 1-11 this season, winless at home, and if they think Cam Ward is the future they might want to protect him at this point and start thinking about bolstering the line and offensive weapons for next season.

Ward was 24/38 passing this week for 141 yards, 0 TDs and 0 interceptions. He also had 1 fumble. In most weeks he would be ranked 32nd in the NFL QB Power Rankings but Max Brosmer might’ve had the worst week of any NFL QB this season.

30. Jaxson Dart – New York Giants (Prev. Unranked)

Getting the nod at starter again after Jameis Winston looked ELECTRIC last week, Jaxson Dart got blown out by the New England Patriots. He was 17/24 passing for 1 touchdown, 0 INTs, and a meager 139 yards.

The Giants are now just 2-11 on the season. And I’m beginning to wonder if it’s not the Giants/Jets that are cursed but if it is perhaps their stadium or the fact that they share one that is the root of the curse…

29. Tyrod Taylor – New York Jets (Prev. 32)

After debuting at #32 last week, Jets QB Tyrod Taylor moves to 29th in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings after picking up a home win against the Atlanta Falcons.

Tyrod Taylor was 19/33 passing for 1 touchdown and 172 yards. He also ran in a TD and had 44 yards on the ground. If he can do this again in his next start then it could be the first time this season a Jets QB cracks the top 20 of the NFL Quarterback Power Rankings.

28. Tyler Shough – New Orleans Saints (Prev. 27)

Tyler Shough drops one spot in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings to 28th. The Saints lost on the road to Miami, falling 21-17.

Tyler Shough was 26/38 passing. They have to find a way to run the ball! He threw for 2 touchdowns, 1 interception, had 18 rushing yards, and 1 lost fumble. New Orleans fell to 2-10 on the season, just in time to spoil either the Bucs’ or Panthers’ Playoffs hopes in the weeks ahead…

27. Kirk Cousins – Atlanta Falcons (Prev. 26)

Kirk Cousins drops one spot in the Week 13 QB Power Rankings, falling to 27th. Atlanta lost a close one on the road to the Jets, falling 27-24.

Kirk was 21/33 passing for 234 yards, 1 touchdown, 0 INTs which is fine and dandy but it wasn’t enough to beat the Jets who are a cursed franchise. Do more, Kirk. Do more.

26. Shedeur Sanders – Cleveland Browns (Prev. 28)

Shedeur Sanders is back in our weekly NFL Quarterback Power Rankings which is pretty wild given that he came into the season as the third stringer. He was 16/25 passing this week for 149 passing yards, 1 touchdown, 0 interceptions, and 0 fumbles. Ultimately, his offensive contributions were not enough as the Browns lost 26-8 at home to San Francisco.

25. Tua Tagovailoa – Miami Dolphins (Prev. 25)

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa’s holds onto the #25 spot in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings. He was just 12/23 passing for 157 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 1 interception.

Miami got the W. They beat NOLA 21-17 at home. Tua had 1 fumble. Running back De’Von Achane was the only player in this game that looked like a true star.

24. Aaron Rodgers – Pittsburgh Steelers (Prev. Unranked)

Former Super Bowl champion Aaron Rodgers had nothing but excuses after the ugly 26-7 loss at home to the Buffalo Bills. But at some point, he has to look in the mirror.

Rodgers only connected on 10 of his 21 passing attempts. He threw for 0 touchdowns (0 INTs) and lost a fumble. Rodgers’ QBR of just 6.2 has to be his lowest of the season, right?

23. Marcus Mariota – Washington Commanders (Prev. 30)

Coming off of a bye week, Marcus Mariota looked sharper/better than he has in recent appearances in place of the injured Jayden Daniels. Mariota was 28/50 passing for 294 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception.

He also led his team in rushing with 55 yards (1 fumble). The Commanders were *this close* to beating the Broncos at home but ultimately fell in overtime.

22. Geno Smith – Las Vegas Raiders (Prev. 21)

When Geno Smith is having a good week he throws for a ton of yards. Last week he was 7th in passing yards (but still lost). This week he was 22nd in passing yards with only 165.

Geno connected on 18 of 23 passing attempts though and had 2 TDs and 1 interception. He did fumble the ball. And Las Vegas lost 31-14 on the road.

21. Lamar Jackson – Baltimore Ravens (Prev. 18)

Lamar Jackson falls 3 more spots in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings. At some point we have to question whether there is something going on behind the scenes with Lamar because he is not the player we have seen in years past.

Lamar was 17/32 passing for 0 TDs and 1 INT. He fumbled the ball twice and lost the ball both times. Lamar only rushed for 27 yards. It was another dismal performance in a string of bad games from Jackson.

20. C.J. Stroud – Houston Texans (Prev. Unranked)

After weeks of backup Davis Mills showing up big time for the Texans, their franchise quarterback C.J. Stroud was back in Week 13. The bright side is he threw for a lot of yards and the team won!

C.J. Stroud was 22/35 passing for 276 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 1 interception. So while he did move the ball up and down the field it wasn’t really Stroud putting the ball in the end zone. But a win on the road against the Colts is huge no matter how you look at it.

19. Sam Darnold – Seattle Seahawks (Prev. 10)

Sam Darnold dropped even further in the Week 13 QB Power Rankings after another uninspired performance. In Sam’s defense, he didn’t really have to do much. The QB on the other team threw 4 interceptions.

Darnold was 14/26 passing for 128 yards. He had a 0/0 INT/TD split and 2 fumbles. The Seahawks had just 1 rushing TD. Their 26-0 shutout of the Vikings was all on the defense.

18. Bo Nix – Denver Broncos (Prev. 17)

Coming off a bye week, Bo Nix and the Broncos eked out a 27-26 road win against the Commanders who are not a great team at all but a win’s a win. Nix was 29/45 passing for 321 yards, the most in the league in Week 13.

Bo Nix threw for 1 touchdown, had 1 interception, and 1 fumble. Upon reflection, this is a character building win for the team as they managed to win by *1 point* in overtime. That has to feel great to Bo Nix today.

17. Justin Herbert – Los Angeles Chargers (Prev. 15)

Coming off a bye week, Just Herbert picked up a win at home against the Raiders but still falls two spots in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings.

Herbert was 15/20 passing for 151 yards and a 2/1 TD/INT split. He only scrambled for 8 yards as well. Herbert started off the season red hot but has cooled down considerably in recent weeks.

16. Brock Purdy – San Francisco 49ers (Prev. 12)

Brock Purdy drops 34spots in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings. This was his third week back from injury and he got an easy win on the road this week in Cleveland.

Purdy was 16/29 passing for just 168 yards. He threw for 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions. Purdy also ran a TD in from 2 yards out.

15. Trevor Lawrence – Jacksonville Jaguars (Prev. 13)

Don’t look now but Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars are 8-4 this season. Trevor Lawrence comes in at 15th this week in the QB Power Rankings after throwing for 229 yards (16/27), 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions.

While Trevor Lawrence has had some wild games this season there does appear to be some consistency showing in recent weeks. If he continues to improve over the next six weeks the Jags could be a problem for AFC teams in the Playoffs.

14. Jared Goff – Detroit Lions (Prev. 19)

Jared Goff looked sharp again this week. He moved up five spots in the Week 13 QB Power Rankings to 14th after connecting on 20 of his 26 pass attempts.

Goff threw for 256 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. He also recovered a fumble. The Leos ultimately fell at home, 31-24, losing to Green Bay on Thanksgiving but Goff looked rock solid. He also had a 24-yard rush that paid (me) out handsomely as his O/U for rushing yards in the game was just 0.5yds.

13. Caleb Williams – Chicago Bears (Prev. 9)

So I might have gotten a little ahead of myself last week putting Caleb Williams in the top 10. He is a great QB for Chicago but he came back to earth this week (and still won).

Caleb was 17/36 passing for 1/1 TD/INT. He threw for just 154 yards and rushed for 13. But Chicago picked up the 24-15 win over the Philadelphia Eagles and moved to 9-3 on the season.

12. Bryce Young – Carolina Panthers (Prev. 20)

Bryce Young is surging in my weekly NFL Quarterback Power Rankings. For Week 13, he handed Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams an L.

Bryce Young was 15/20 passing for 206 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. He tacked 23 rushing yards on top of that and is now on the verge of cracking the top 10 in the QB Power Rankings. This is an ascension I simply could not have imagined 2 or 3 weeks into the season.

11. Baker Mayfield – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Prev. 23)

Last week Baker Mayfield, who had been in the top 5 of the NFL QB Power Rankings for most of the season, fell to the bottom third after an injury but he was back this week and got a win at home.

Baker was 18/28 passing for 194 yards, 1 touchdown, and 0 interceptions. He also had 27 yards on the ground. Bakerand Tampa picked up a gritty win at home, beating the Cards by 3pts and are now 7-5 on the season.

10. Jacoby Brissett – Arizona Cardinals (Prev. 6)

Jacoby Brissett looked sharp again. He has been pretty spectacular for the Cards since he got the nod in place of an injured Kyler Murray. But Arizona took the L this week on the road in Tampa as the booms from the cannons in the pirate ship proved to be too much for the Cardinals to handle and had them rattled.

Jacoby Brissett was 29/40 passing for 301 yards, the third-most of any QB in Week 13, and he threw for 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Ultimately, they lost by a field goal on the road to a team that’s leading their division. Is there such thing as a ‘quality loss’ in the NFL?

9. Jordan Love – Green Bay Packers (Prev. 16)

I don’t know if y’all got the memo but Toyotathon has begun which means Jordan Love transitions from being a middling QB to elite overnight. He absolutely balls out every year during Toyotathon like clockwork and he moved up 7 spots in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings.

Jordan Love connected on 18/30 passes for 234 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. He firmly moved into the top 10 this week and I doubt he’ll backslide anytime soon.

8. Josh Allen – Buffalo Bills (Prev. 7)

Josh Allen, my dude, I don’t know what is going on with you. After making NFL history with a 6 TD performance in Week 11 you have strung together back-to-back weeks of dog doodoo.

Josh falls another spot in this week’s NFL Quarterback Power Rankings. He’d fall further if it wasn’t for that 6 TD performance just two games prior… Josh Allen was 15/23 passing for a measly 123 yards, 1/1 TD/INT, and 1 rushing TD. It was an easy and dominating win over the Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers though so perhaps Josh Allen just didn’t need to do much…

7. Jalen Hurts – Philadelphia Eagles (Prev. 5)

Jalen Hurts drops two spots in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings from 5th to 7th. He took the L at home to the 9-3 Bears.

Jalen was 19/34 passing for 2 TDs and 1 INT. He had 230 passing yards which was his 5th most in a game this season. The Eagles fell at home (8-4) but still seem to be in the driver’s seat of the NFC East and that all goes through Jalen Hurts.

6. Joe Burrow – Cincinnati Bengals (Prev. Unranked)

Cincinnati Bengals fans were on Cloud 9 with what they saw from Joe Burrow in his return. After being out injured most of the season, he returns to the #6 spot in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings.

Burrow led the Bengals to a massive 32-14 road win against Baltimore on Turkey Day. He was 24/46 passing and definitely needs to work on his accuracy but threw 2 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, and had 0 turnovers. At this point, the Bengals are 4-8 so there isn’t a ton left to be done this season but Burrow still looked great in his return.

5. Patrick Mahomes – Kansas City Chiefs (Prev. 8)

For the second straight week, Patrick Mahomes looked like a former Super Bowl MVP. He threw for 261 yards, connecting on 23 of 34 pass attempts, and had 4 touchdown passes (0 INTs).

After a major emotional win in Week 12, the Chiefs just couldn’t seal the deal on Thanksgiving against Dallas. They are now 6-6 on the season (1-5 on the road) and their playoff hopes are diminishing by the day.

4. Daniel Jones – Indianapolis Colts (Prev. 4)

This was a puzzling week for the Colts. They took their first loss at home, falling 20-16 to the Texans in a game where Houston QB C.J. Stroud didn’t having a single touchdown.

Meanwhile, Daniel Jones threw for 2 touchdowns, 201 yards, and connected on 14 of 27 pass attempts. He did have a recovered fumble and on paper you can’t really point to any negative impact Daniel Jones had on the game as he continues his dominant season.

3. Matthew Stafford – Los Angeles Rams (Prev. 1)

It had to happen at some point, didn’t it? Matthew Stafford had been holding onto the #1 spot in my weekly NFL Quarterback Power Rankings with a vice grip. Coming into Week 13, Stafford had thrown just 2 interceptions all season but he finally had an off game.

Stafford matched his season INT total after throwing 2 against the Carolina Panthers. He was 18/28 for 243 yards, 2 TDs, and 2 INTs. Matthew also coughed up one fumble for three total turnovers in the game. Looking at the totality of the season, Stafford is the clear #1 QB but for the Week 13 power rankings he has to drop two spots after the three turnover game.

2. Dak Prescott – Dallas Cowboys (Prev. 3)

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys moved to 6-5-1 in Week 13. Dak also moved up 1 spot in the Week 13 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings and is knocking on the door of that #1 spot.

Prescott was 27/39 passing for 320 yards, the second-most passing yards in the league in Week 12. He threw for 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. They got a major win at home against the Chiefs and now have their sights set on the Playoffs.

1. Drake Maye – New England Patriots (Prev. 2)

And just like that, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has taken over as the #1 ranked QB in our weekly NFL Quarterback Power Rankings. If you predicted this would happen before the season started I would like to shake your hand.

Drake Maye steadily climbed our NFL Quarterback Power Rankings week after week until he ascended to the throne after Stafford’s off week. Maye was 24/31 passing for 2 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, and 282 yards.

Through 13 weeks, Drake Maye leads all passers with 3,412 yards. He ranks 4th overall in touchdown passes with 23. And Drake Maye has only coughed up 6 interceptions this season. He leads the league in passer rating (111.9) and is 4th in QBR (72.8). It is clear New England has found something special in Drake Maye and unlocked his potential this season.
