Tom Brady is in the first place of the ranking thanks to an incredible ‘cluch victory’ against the Buffalo Bills 33-27 in OT. That game was special for Brady as it was his fifth game of the season with over three hundred yards for a total of 363 passing yards and it was also the second game of the 2021 NFL season that Brady scored a rushing touchdown.
Kyler Murray is back after three weeks injured, after that injury he won his first game against Chicago 33-22, but in the Monday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14 he lost 23-30. Kyler threw for 383 passing yards but with 2 interceptions.
Mac Jones is in the top ten of the Bolavip Quarterback Rankings, but he has a low QBR so far. The game against the Bills was easy enough for Jones in Week 13, he threw only 5 passes for 19 yards. It was Jones’ most boring game of the 2021 NFL season, but the Patriots won 14-10.
