Cote: Brissett takes Week 12 crown in Herald’s latest NFL QB Ranking
JACOBY BRISSETT’S RECORD DAY WINS WEEK 11 TITLE, DRAKE MAYE BOLSTERS SEASON LEAD AND SEE WHERE TUA LANDS IN MIAMI HERALD’S LATEST NFL QUARTERBACK RANKINGS: The 28th season of the Herald’s Passer Success System (PASS) rankings saw the Cardinals’ Jacoby Brissett complete a league-record 47 passes to spark a season-high 59.60-point game and win the Week 11 title in the Herald’s latest NFL Quarterback Rankings. Brissett, West Palm Beach-born and a Dolphins backup in 2021, rises from 32nf to 26th overall. He becomes the 11th different weekly winner this year. Dolphin Tua Tagovailoa holds steady at or is stuck in 16th overall, depending on one’s view, while Patriot Drake Maye grows his leading margin at No. 1 overall in the season Top 20 for a fourth straight week. Our ratings system is cumulative, not percentile-based, rewarding players who are consistently productive and avoid injury or benching. Bye weeks negatively impact affected players but even out over the course of the season. An asterisk (*) below indicates the six Top 20 QBs who have yet to play their bye week. That includes No. 1 Maye, making precarious his lead over second place Matthew Stafford of the Rams. Our formula factors accuracy, passing yardage, touchdown/interception ratio and team result. These are passer ratings per se and do not include a QB’s running statistics. The 2025 top 20 (plus other Dolphins) entering Week 12:
