Bengals’ Burrow wins Week 7 and there is a new No. 1 overall in latest Miami Herald NFL QB Rankings
BENGALS’ BURROW WINS WEEK 7 TITLE, CHIEFS’ MAHOMES ELEVATES TO NO. 1 OVERALL IN MIAMI HERALD NFL QUARTERBACK RANKINGS: Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow Wins Week 7 honors with a season-best 64.05-point game to leap from seventh place to No. 2 in the Miami Herald’s updated NFL quarterback rankings. Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes climbs one spot to No. 1 overall, taking advantage of a bye week for Buffalo’s Josh Allen, who led the previous four weeks. Our ratings system is cumulative not percentile based, rewarding players who are consistently productive and avoid injury or benching. QBs on a bye take a temporary hit that evens out over the course of a season. Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa, who returned from his concussion after missing most of three games, holds steady at No. 18. This is the 25th year for the Herald’s Passer Success System (PASS) rankings, which began in 1998, the year before Dan Marino retired, with Steve Young the first ever season champion. Our rankings factor accuracy, passing yardage, touchdown/interception ratio and team result. They are passer ratings per se and do not include a quarterback’s running statistics. Our updated top 25 (plus other Dolphins) for 2022:
