Week 14 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings: 4 Weeks Until The Playoffs

With 14 weeks of the 2025/26 NFL season in the books and only 4 weeks left until the NFL Playoffs, the race for the regular season’s best QB is tightening. Matthew Stafford, Dak Prescott, and Drake Maye have all been phenomenal in recent weeks (months?) and the race at the top has been exciting to watch unfold. That said, there was a lot of movement in the Week 14 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings.

In last week’s NFL Quarterback Power Rankings we saw the #1 QB unseated for the first time in months. This week we saw handful of QBs move in and around the top 10. Sadly, Daniel Jones, who has been a QB Power Rankings top-5 fixture this season went out for the season with an injury.

Week 14 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings: All 32 Starting QBs Ranked

Due to that injury, I’ve placed him last in the Week 14 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings. That is not a reflection of how Daniel Jones has played this season but rather it reflects that his season is over and next week his slot will be replaced with his backup. Now let’s get to the latest NFL QB Power Rankings!

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

After having a top-5 season among all QBs this year, Daniel Jones’ 2025/26 NFL season is over. He suffered a torn Achilles against the Jaguars. He’d already suffered a fractured fibula this year. You hate to see this happen to a guy who was having a breakout season and the best of his career.

31. Brady Cook – New York Jets (Prev. Unranked)

In his first start for the New York Jets, QB Brady Cook was probably seeing stars. He was sacked six times, threw 2 interceptions, and fumbled the ball twice.

Brady Cook connected on 14/30 passes for 163 yards. Which is a positive to be sure. But 4 lost balls in his NFL debut has to sting. The Jets lost 34-10 to Miami and his NFL future remains unclear at this time.

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

Jaxson Dart and the New York Giants were on bye this week. Jaxson got the start last week coming back from injury in place of Jameis Winston. He was 17/24 for 1/0 TD/INT and 139 yards. The Giants only have 2 wins on this season and everything football-related at the Meadowlands is just depressing these days.

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

Kirk Cousins drops two spots in the Week 14 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings. He got smoked by the Seahawks at at home.

Kirk was 15/30 passing and threw 2 interceptions (0 TDs). Nothing went his way. It was ugly… Is 37 years old too young to retire? Asking for a friend.

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

After losing to Baker Mayfield and the Bucs on 10/26, Tyler Shough and the Saints got their revenge. To say that Tyler won this game though would be a bit of a stretch.

Shough was 13/20 passing for 144 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 1 interception. He did run two scores in though and had 55 yards on the ground. Is he the future franchise QB in New Orleans? That remains to be seen at this point but they had to like what they saw from him this week.

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

Cam Ward and the Titans picked up their second win of the season, taking down the Browns on the road. Cam Ward threw for 2 touchdowns and 1 interception, connecting on 14 of 28 pass attempts for just 117 yards. Tony Pollard was a ground machine in the game, rushing for 161 yards. Ultimately, it is nice to see Cam Ward actually move up in the NFL Quarterback Power Rankings after week of lingering at the bottom.

26. Jayden Daniels – Washington Commanders (Prev. Unranked / Back From Injury)

Coming back from injury, Jayden Daniels looked pretty rusty. Then he got injured again but the outlook this time looks a lot better.

Jayden was 9/20 passing for 78 yards and 1 interception. Washington got shut out by the Vikings. It was the ugliest game of the season for Washington and a lot of that rests on the shoulders of Jayden Daniels.

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

Tua got the job done this week. He threw for 127 yards, 1 TD, and 0 interceptions. He holds down the #25 spot in the NFL QB Power Rankings for Week 14.

Miami had 239 rushing yards, 3 rushing TDs, and won 34-10. That’s the story of the game here. Not Tua’s safe play.

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

At this point we don’t even see shades of the former Geno Smith anymore from when he was throwing for hundreds of yards and having great games. The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-11 this season and Geno drops 2 spots in this weeks NFL QB Power Rankings from 22nd to 24th.

Geno Smith was 13/21 passing for 116 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs. In the end, they lost to the Broncos in a game where Bo Nix didn’t have a single passing touchdown.

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

Sheduer Sanders and the Browns lost by just 2pts at home to the lowly Tennessee Titans and it is hard to claim the loss was Sheduer’s fault. He connected on 23 of 42 pass attempts for 3 touchdowns, 1 interception, and a massive 364 yards. Shedeur also ran one into the end zone for 4 TD contributions.

When the smoke had cleared, Shedeur Sanders took the high road and didn’t throw his coach under the bus for his failed 2-point conversion decision. But that has to sting!

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

Texans QB C.J. Stroud was back in his second week coming off an injury. He was 15/31 passing for 203 yards, 1 touchdown, and 0 interceptions.

Compared to what was going on over on the other side of the field, C.J. Stroud looked brilliant.

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

Lamar Jackson holds onto the #21 spot in the Week 14 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings this week. Something is up in Baltimore and it seems to run through him.

While the offensive production was slightly back this week, Lamar Jackson took another L. He connected on just 19 of 35 passing attempts for 1 touchdown and 1 interception. He did have 43 rushing yards and 1 TD on the ground, the first time he’s used his legs in months.

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

After a horrible performance last week, Aaron Rodgers moves up 4 spots from 24th to 20th this week following a Steeler win over the Ravens. Aaron Rodgers threw for 1 TD and ran in another.

He was 23/34 passing for 284 yards and had 0 turnover in the game. The Steelers moved to 7-6 on the season and are 1st in the AFC North somehow. Aaron would later claim his motivation in this game was driven by reporters calling out his horrible play last week.

19. J.J. McCarthy – Minnesota Vikings (Prev. Unranked)

Vikings franchise QB J.J. McCarthy is back in the NFL Quarterback Power Rankings this week. The Vikings blew Washington out, winning 31-0 at home.

J.J. connected with receivers on 16 of 23 passing attempts for 163 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. It was a clinical game for him and everyone on the Vikings side of the ball.

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

Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers were on bye this week. He has had three weeks back from injury at this point and had a solid showing last week. He’s only dropped a little this week due to other QBs around him having decent weeks. Their next game is at 4:25 on Sunday (at home) against the Titans. This should be a bloodbath.

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

Bo Nix and the Broncos won again. They are 11-2 on the season. How is that possible? It remains unclear.

Bo Nix was 31/38 passing which is incredible. He threw for 212 yards. But had 0 TDs in the air (0 INTs as well). He did run one into the end zone along with 15 total yards on the ground. They handled the Raiders 24-17 easily enough and moved on.

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

It is high time we start judging Patrick Mahomes on his play this season and not his past results. Patrick was 14/33 passing for 160 yards and 3 interceptions. He had 59 rushing yards and 0 touchdowns on the ground or through the air.

With the 20-10 loss at home to the Texans, the Chiefs are now out of the division title race and are 6-7 on the season. To say that there is trouble in paradise would be an understatement.

One positive of Patrick’s season so far is he ranks 3rd overall in passing yards (3,398), but he ranks 6th in the league for most interceptions thrown with 10. His completion percentage (63.1%) ranks in the bottom third of the league. And he has just not been able to find the end zone.

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

After starting the season red hot, the Buccaneers have been plagued by injuries and Baker Mayfield’s offensive weapons have evaporated. He was a fixture in the top 5 of the weekly NFL Quarterback Power Rankings until things went south, and south they’ve gone.

Baker was 14/30 in passing this week for 122 yards and a 1/1 TD/INT split. He scrambled for 42 yards. And the Bucs fell to NFC South Division rival Saints 24-20 at home to drop to 7-6 on the season with Baker’s stats seemingly regressing week after week.

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

Jalen Hurts drops 7 full spots in the Week 14 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings from 7th to 14th. He threw FOUR INTERCEPTIONS in a loss to the Chargers on Monday Night Football. FOUR!

Jalen was 21/40 passing for 240 yards, 0 TDs, 4 INTs, and a lost fumble. All of that and the Eagles only lost by 3 on the road, falling 22-19 to the Chargers. Just an all around gross game from JalenHurts.

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

Justin Herbert went out and beat the Eagles with what appeared to be a broken hand. Jalen Hurts threw those 4 INTs and while Herbert didn’t have the prettiest game he looked a heck of a lot better than his competition.

Herbert was 12/26 passing for 1/1 TD/INT. He had 139 yards through the air and 66 rushing yards to lead his team on the ground. He did lose a fumble (2 overall) but with the broken hand managed to not throw 4 interceptions like Jalen Hurts and for that reason he is above Jalen this week, the grit it took to dig down and beat the Eagles.

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

Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers were on bye this week. Young has been hot in recent weeks as the Panthers began to surge just as the Bucs got cold. He remains in the 12th spot in the Quarterback Power Rankings while his team is inactive.

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

Trevor Lawrence moves up from 15th to 11th in the Week 14 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings after another impressive Jags win. Lawrence dazzled with his arm this week, throwing for 244 yards.

Connecting with Jags receiver on 17 of 30 pass attempts, Trevor Lawrence threw for 2 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, and had 0 turnover in the game. Jacksonville moved to 9-4 on the season and are staring down the Playoffs at this point. Should the rest of the AFC be worried?

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

Caleb Williams is back in the top 10 of the NFL Quarterback Power Rankings this week, his second time this season in the top 10. Caleb was 19/35 passing for 186 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT. The Bears lost this game 28-21 to the Packers on the road but Caleb has really come alive in the second half of the season.

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

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold was a big mover in the Week 14 NFL Quarterback Power Rankings and comes in at #9 this week. He secured a massive win over the Falcons. Though it has really been Seattle’s defense in recent weeks that has been on fire.

Darnold was 20/30 passing for 249 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception. At no point in the game other than the INT did he seem to be out of control of what was happening. At this point, the 10-3 Seahawks have to be considered a serious Super Bowl contender.

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

Jacoby Brissett continued to put up huge stats under center for the Cardinals with Kyler Murray out. He was 25/44 passing for 271 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. He also scrambled for 22 yards which somehow led the Cards in rushing, a sign that they are living in poverty when it come to their running back and offensive line situation.

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

For what feels like the umpteenth week in a row, Jared Goff looked crisp and ready. He moves up a full 7 spots in the Week 14 NFL quarterback power rankings from 14th to 7th.

Goff was at home against the Cowboys and out-dueled Dak Prescott. He threw for 309 yards (25/34), 1 touchdown, 0 interceptions, and helped his team to a 44-30 win that moved them to 8-5 on the season with the NFL Playoffs just around the corner.

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

This week’s Bengals-Bills game was an instant classic. Both QBs were slinging the ball. Joe Burrow, in his second week back from injury, threw for 4 touchdowns (2 INTs) and 284 yards.

The Bengals couldn’t get anything going on the ground and only had 62 rushing yards in the snowy game. Buffalo on the other hand had 183 yards on the ground. That’s the difference maker right there. Joey B is back and he’s hot.

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

It is a tale as old as time: Death, Taxes, and Jordan Love getting hot as soon as Toyotathon begins. Jordan Love went out and beat the Bears, throwing for 3 touchdowns and 1 interception.

He connected on 17 of 25 passing attempts for 234 yards (0 fumbles), and Green Bay beat the 9-4 Bears at home 28-21 to move to 9-3-1 on the season and take sole possession of 1st place in the NFC North.

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

Dak Prescott fell to Jared Goff and the Lions in a weird instance of both teams playing back-to-back Thursday games due to Thanksgiving. Dak was back to his old self, throwing for 376 yards and 1 touchdown.

He did, however, throw 2 interceptions and had a fumble. Dallas was having a lot of trouble securing the ball. And ultimately the Cowboys lost 44-30 on the road to Detroit to fall to 6-6-1 on the season. Dak continue to prove that he’s one of the league’s best QBs though with another busy night.

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

Josh Allen is back. He moves from 8th to 4th in this week’s NFL QB Power Rankings after a stellar game that puts those past two weeks out of mind.

Josh Allen connected on 22 of 28 pass attempts for 251 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. He also ran a TD in for a total of 4 TD contributions and zero turnovers. It’s hard to top that.

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

After his first wobbly week of the season, LA Rams QB Matthew Stafford was back in true form this week against the Cardinals. The Rams were on the road and Stafford threw for 281 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions.

Stafford held down the #1 spot in the NFL Quarterback Power Rankings for the bulk of this season and he looked like that QB again this week. Drake Maye earned the #1 spot though and with the Patriots on bye, it didn’t feel right to bump Maye out after Stafford redeemed himself in Week 14.

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

The New England Patriots and Drake Maye were on bye this week. So he holds onto his #1 spot which he earned with consistent play this season. In Week 13, he was 24/31 passing for 2/0 TD/INT and 282 yards. He led all passers in yards through week 13 with 3,412 and ranked 4th overall in TD passes. Stafford had another amazing week but it doesn’t feel right to bump Drake Maye off the throne just because he is on bye.
