Turmoil at the top! There is new No. 1 in the Miami Herald’s latest NFL QB rankings
SEAHAWKS’ WILSON WINS WEEK 9 TITLE, TAKES OVER SEASON LEAD IN MIAMI HERALD NFL QUARTERBACK RANKINGS: Patrick Mahomes’ injury absence has the thrown the race wide open in the Miami Herald’s 2019 NFL quarterback rankings. The Seahawks’ Russell Wilson wins the Week 9 title with a 53.90-point game to over take the season lead -- the fifth different passer to top the chart. Miami’s Ryan Fitzpatrick enjoyed the third-best week leaguewide with a 40.40-point game in the win over the Jets. Our rankings, which began in 1998, factor accuracy, passing yardage, touchdown/interception ratio and team result (they do not include a QB’s running statistics). Most major passer rankings, including the NFL’s and ESPN’s, are percentile-based, allowing players who miss half a season to still win a title. Our system is cumulative, rewarding players who are consistently productive and avoid injury or benching. Players on a bye week take a temporary hit that evens out over the course of a season. The Top 20 (and Dolphins) entering Week 10:
