If you love good quarterback play, I hope you didn’t miss the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens go at it on Sunday. It was the kind of game that reminded us why we make time for football.
Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow both seemed to know the last man with the ball was going to win. Defenses didn’t really matter. And while it — briefly — seemed like that guy would be Burrow, it ended up being Lamar — and a Ravens’ win.
And it was a nice piece of redemption, because of what we saw in Week 1 when Lamar dueled with Patrick Mahomes and Isaiah Likely’s toe was an inch out of bounds on the final drive as the Chiefs won. So, while that outcome went against the Ravens, this one ended in their favor. And this win is a big reason why Baltimore is back on track to make a playoff run.
By now, you can probably guess who is still sitting atop this week’s QB Stock Market.
For these rankings, we weigh this week’s performance with 30% importance with 70% applied to the rest of 2024. One question holds importance above all others: What have you done for your team lately?
Previous weeks:1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (↔)
2. Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders (⬆️ 3)
3. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals (⬆️ 5)
What else can Joe Burrow do?
It’s not his fault the Bengals won’t pay Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins. It’s not his fault the Bengals let Joe Mixon, Tyler Boyd, Jonah Williams, Chidobe Awuzie and D.J. Reader sign elsewhere in free agency this year. It’s not his fault Zac Taylor has proven incapable of recreating the success he had en route to Super Bowl LVI.
All Burrow did on Sunday was drop 392 passing yards, five touchdowns and one interception.
You don’t really see this: Burrow is an elite QB playing extremely well — and yet he’s on a 1-4 team. What a waste. Cincy is letting Burrow’s prime pass them by.
4. Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (⬆️ 3)
5….
