Purdy good game wins Week 11 but Dolphins’ Tua regains No. 1 overall in latest Herald NFL QB ranking
SAN FRAN’S PURDY WINS WEEK 11 TITLE, MIAMI’S TAGOVAILOA REGAINS NO. 1 OVERALL IN MIAMI HERALD’S UPDATED NFL QUARTERBACK RANKINGS: San Francisco’s Brock Purdy wins the Week 11 title with a 47.65-point game while Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa regains the overall No. 1 spot for the season in the Miami Herald’s latest NFL quarterback rankings. Purdy is the 10th different winner in 11 weeks; only Buffalo’s Josh Allen has won weekly honors twice. Tagovailoa is No. 1 for a sixth different week, most of anybody. His four-point lead on Allen overall is bigger than it seems, because Tua has played one fewer game, with Allen still having a bye week coming. Our ratings system is cumulative not percentile-based, rewarding players who are consistently productive and avoid injury or benching. Because it is cumulative, players on a bye take a temporary hit that evens out over the course of a season. This is the 26th year for the Herald’s Passer Success System (PASS) rankings, which began in 1998 with Steve Young the inaugural season champion. Our ratings formula factors accuracy, passing yardage, touchdown/interception ratio and team result. They are passer ratings per se and do not include a QB’s running statistics.
