Welp, there are about 15 minutes between the end of Week 12 and the beginning of Week 13, so let's squeeze in some QB power rankings.

"},{"title":"32. Sam Darnold, Jets","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/article/hero/Darnold_Sam_USATSI_14928054.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: N/A

Week 12 stats: 16-of-27, 197 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT

Season stats: 58.7 completion %, 177.4 yards/game, 3 TD, 8 INT, 147 rush yards, 1 rush TD

Darnold's days are obviously numbered with the Jets. It's just a matter of how much worse his trade stock gets.

"},{"title":"31. Brandon Allen, Bengals","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Allen_Brandon_USATSI_14848820.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 32

Week 12 stats: 17-of-29, 136 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 25-of-42, 198 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

The Bengals are in line for the No. 3 overall pick. Maybe they can use it to protect Joe Burrow so Brandon Allen won't be playing any games next season, no offense to Allen.

"},{"title":"30. Drew Lock, Broncos","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Lock_Drew_USATSI_15118793.jpg","credit":"Getty Images","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 30

Week 12 stats: N/A

Season stats: 55.6 completion %, 220.9 yards/game, 7 TD, 11 INT, 2 rush TD

Welp, at least Week 12 told us that the Broncos can do worse than Lock. They had to start a receiver at QB, yielding only one completion on nine attempts. Thankfully, Lock and the rest of the Broncos' QBs are good to go now.

"},{"title":"29. Alex Smith, Washington Football Team","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Smith_Alex_USATSI_15063495.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 29

Week 12 stats: 19-of-26, 149 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 69.0 completion %, 3 TD, 5 INT

Smith has always been considered a game manager, even when he was more than that. Now he's for real just a game manager.

"},{"title":"28. Daniel Jones, Giants","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Jones_Daniel_USATSI_15248303.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

8. Whoever Starts for the Giants, Giants

Last week's ranking: 28 (Daniel Jones)

Week 12 stats: 16-of-27, 213 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT, 19 rush yards (Jones)

Season stats: 63.2 completion %, 212.3 yards/game, 8 TD, 9 INT, 403 rush yards, 1 rush TD (Jones)

Daniel Jones has a hamstring injury and his status is up in the air. If he can't go, it will be Colt McCoy. There's a possibility he's better than Jones.

"},{"title":"27. Nick Mullens, 49ers","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Mullens_Nick_USATSI_14957553.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 26

Week 12 stats: 24-of-35, 252 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 67.5 completion %, 234.6 yards/game, 6 TD, 7 INT

If wins aren't a QB stat, we can't get too excited about the fact that Mullens "beat" the Rams Sunday. He's a backup doing his best.

"},{"title":"26. Andy Dalton, Cowboys","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/article/hero/Dalton_A_USATSI_15089778.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 27

Week 12 stats: 25-of-35, 215 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 65.1 completion %, 870 yards, 5 TD, 5 INT

I pray there aren't any more prime time Cowboys games the rest of the season. I'm sure there are :( (Editor's Note: You bet there are... Weeks 13 and 15.)

"},{"title":"25. Cam Newton, Patriots","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/newton_c_USATSI_15224892.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 20

Week 12 stats: 9-of-18, 84 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT, 46 rush yards

Season stats: 66.9 completion %, 198.4 yards/game, 4 TD, 9 INT, 387 yards, 9 TD

Newton was positively horrid against the Cardinals. If he can't perform against the Chargers, the offense is a lost cause. It probably is even if Newton does go off against the Chargers.

Curran: One year of Cam Newton will be plenty for Patriots

"},{"title":"24. Carson Wentz, Eagles","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/article/hero/Wentz_C_US_15001093.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 25

Week 12 stats: 25-of-45, 215 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT, 42 rush yards

Season stats: 58.1 completion %, 231.0 yards/game, 16 TD, 15 INT, 258 rush yards, 5 rush TD

For the first time since the second half of Week 1, Wentz has more passing touchdowns than he has interceptions. Encouraging and depressing at the same time.

"},{"title":"23. Taysom Hill, Saints","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Hill_Taysom_USATSI_15223934.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 22

Week 12 stats: 9-of-16, 78 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 44 rush yards, 2 rush TD

Season stats: 31-of-44, 70.5 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 279 rush yards, 5 rush TD

I can't get excited about that performance against the Broncos. The multiple rushing touchdowns are obviously good, but, like ... throw for 100 yards?

"},{"title":"22. Mitchell Trubisky","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/short_form_video/hero/trubisky_m_usatsi_14991136.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 21 (as "Whoever Starts for the Bears")

Week 12 stats: 26-of-46, 242 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT

Season stats: 58.3 completion %, 802 yards, 9 TD, 5 INT, 101 rush yards

The numbers didn't look that horrible by game's end, but Trubisky kind of stunk in his return as the Bears' starter.

"},{"title":"21. Mike Glennon, Jaguars","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Glennon_Mike_USATSI_14753188.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Week 12 stats: 20-of-35, 235 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT

Season stats: 29-of-51, 342 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT

Well hey there, yet another Jaguars quarterback who steps in and has a good game! I will now make a joke about the Jaguars hating that for like the sixth time this season.

"},{"title":"20. Whoever Starts For The Dolphins","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Tagovailoa_Tua_Fitzpatrick_Ryan_USATSI_15178037.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 23 (Tua Tagovailoa)

Week 12 stats: 24-of-39, 257 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT (Ryan Fitzpatrick)

We'll see whether the Dolphins bring Tagovailoa back from a thumb injury. Honestly, they should take it slow and blame the injury. The team's contending and Fitzpatrick's better right now.

"},{"title":"19. Matthew Stafford, Lions","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/article/hero/Stafford_M_USATSI_15000802.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1599679242,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 17

Week 12 stats: 28-of-42, 295 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 63.2 completion %, 261.5 yards/game, 18 TD, 8 INT

It's a new day for the Lions! We'll find out whether Matt Patricia being gone will actually improve Stafford's season.

"},{"title":"18. Jared Goff, Rams","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Goff_Jared_USATSI_13771288.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 16

Week 12 stats: 19-of-31, 198 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT

Season stats: 67.2 completion %, 274.6 yards/game, 16 TD, 10 INT, 2 rush TD

Bruce Arians isn't the only coach being honest about his QB. Sean McVay called out Goff after Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

"},{"title":"17. Baker Mayfield, Browns","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Mayfield_Baker_USATSI_15072537.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 19

Week 12 stats: 19-of-29, 258 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT

Season stats: 61.2 completion %, 191.6 yards/game, 17 TD, 7 INT

Mayfield hadn't thrown a touchdown pass for three straight games prior to last week. Unfortunately for him going forward, every game isn't against the Jaguars.

"},{"title":"16. Teddy Bridgewater, Panthers","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Bridgewater_T_USATSI_14956031.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 15

Week 12 stats: 19-of-36, 267 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 70.2 completion %, 256.3 yards/game, 14 TD, 8 INT, 208 rush yards, 3 rush TD

Bridgewater was unremarkable in his return from a sprained knee. He'll have another week to rest it with the Panthers on the bye.

"},{"title":"15. Matt Ryan, Falcons","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Ryan_Matt_USATSI_14955511.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 18

Week 12 stats: 22-of-39, 185 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 64.9 completion %, 287.5 yards/game, 17 TD, 8 INT, 1 rush TD

After stinking up the joint against the Saints, Ryan took a step in the right direction against Vegas. He's on pace for 25 touchdowns and 12 picks, which honestly sounds like a pretty standard Matt Ryan season.

"},{"title":"14.

Brady's second in the league in interceptions. You hate to see it.

Week 12 stats: 22-of-34, 215 lads, 0 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 69.3 completion %, 240.5 yards/game, 19 TD, 4 INT

Carr kind of stunk against the Falcons. Not too many quarterbacks have been able to say that this season.

"},{"title":"12. Philip Rivers, Colts","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Rivers_Philip_USATSI_14925904.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Week 12 stats: 24-of-42, 295 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 67.3 completion %, 270.7 yards/game, 16 TD, 9 INT

Rivers, who has historically dominated the Titans, was good against them last week despite the loss.

"},{"title":"11. Lamar Jackson, Ravens","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Jackson_L_Getty_1228496966.jpg","credit":"Getty Images","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 11

Week 12 stats: N/A

Season stats: 63.4 completion %, 194.8 yards/game, 15 TD, 6 INT, 575 rush yards, 3 rush TD

The Ravens were surprisingly entertaining against the Steelers with Jackson on the COVID-19 list. They could have pulled the upset if they had him, though.

"},{"title":"10. Kirk Cousins, Vikings","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/cousins_k_USATSI_14956040.png","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Season stats: 68.1 completion %, 251.6 yards/game, 23 TD, 11 INT

Cousins in the top 10? What a world. He's got back-to-back 300-yard, three-touchdown, no-pick games.

"},{"title":"9. Kyler Murray, Cardinals","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/article/hero/MURRAY_k_USATSI_14928594.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 6

Season stats: 68.2 completion %, 255.8 yards/game, 19 TD, 9 INT, 650 rush yards, 10 TD

Murray's been sliding the last three games. The Rams boast the league's No. 4 defense by Pro Football Focus' measure. Sunday should be interesting.

"},{"title":"8. Josh Allen, Bills","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/allen_j_USATSI_14959848.png","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 7

Week 12 stats: 18-of-24, 157 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 32 rush yards, 1 rush TD

Season stats: 68.8 completion %, 275.3 yards/game, 22 TD, 8 INT, 311 rush yards, 6 rush TD

Allen suffered an ankle injury during the Bills' win over the Chargers. He only left for one play, but he wasn't exactly dominant the rest of the way. We'll see Thursday if he's on Buffalo's injury report for Monday.

"},{"title":"7. Ryan Tannehill, Titans","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/article/hero/Tannehill_R_USATSI_14956293.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Last week's ranking: 8

Week 12 stats: 13-of-22, 221 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT

Season stats: 65.0 completion %, 237.1 yards/game, 23 TD, 4 INT, 152 rush yards, 2 rush TD

Maybe it's because of the shock value last season, but Tannehill's thrown for more touchdowns through 11 games this season than he did in 12 games last season, yet his performance hasn't had nearly the fanfare.

"},{"title":"6. Justin Herbert, Chargers","video":"UXuWWcbpwSsd","thumbnail":{"uri":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/short_form_video/hero/OC_PATS_VS_HERBERT_120120_DIGITAL_1920x1080_1826242115825.jpg","alt":"Patriots vs. Chargers: Taking a look at Justin Herbert","title":"Patriots vs. Chargers: Taking a look at Justin Herbert"},"credit":"Getty Images","published":1600892429,"caption":"

Week 12 stats: 31-of-52, 316 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 66.9 completion %, 301.5 yards/game, 23 TD, 7 INT, 185 rush yards, 3 rush TD

Sunday against the Bills was Herbert's worst game of the season. It speaks to how dominant he's been that a rookie's worst game of the season was a 316-yard performance with a touchdown and a pick.

"},{"title":"5. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/roethlisberger_b_USATSI_14992251.png","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Week 12 stats: 36-of-51, 266 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Season stats: 67.1 completion %, 253.4 yards/game, 24 TD, 5 INT

I'll be honest: Roethlisberger hasn't been particularly impressive over the last couple of weeks, but it's not like any of the guys in the 6-to-10 range have been good enough to surpass him.

"},{"title":"4. Deshaun Watson, Texans","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Watson_Deshaun_USATSI_13767541.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Season stats: 68.9 completion %, 291.0 yards/game, 24 TD, 5 INT, 293 rush yards, 2 rush TD

Watson has gone six games without a pick. He's thrown 15 touchdown passes in that span. It's a shame he's wasting a career year on the season the Texans are having.

"},{"title":"3. Russell Wilson, Seahawks","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/article/hero/Wilson_Russell_USATSI_14927726.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Season stats: 70.7 completion %, 292.4 yards/game, 31 TD, 10 INT, 379 rush yards, 1 rush TD

Wilson has strung a couple of decent games together after a two-week skid against the Bills and Rams. Even after an up-and-down November, he's already matched his passing touchdown total from last season and is four shy of a career-high.

"},{"title":"2. Aaron Rodgers, Packers","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/Rodgers_A_USATSI_14927510.jpg","credit":"USA TODAY Sports photo","published":1607004000,"caption":"

Rodgers' performance against the Bears marked his fourth four-passing-touchdown game of the season. He had three in the last three seasons combined.

Ho-hum performance for Mahomes against a good Bucs defense. Just another 462 yards. This guy's the best to ever do it.
