Welcome to Week 15 of Grade!
It’s been a good week for quarterbacks looking to revive their careers. In Cleveland, Joe Flacco conjured up some magic out of nowhere in the fourth quarter and the Browns beat the Bears 20-17. When the Browns were trailing 17-7 in the fourth quarter, Flacco fought back by throwing for 212 yards in the fourth quarter alone.
If you’re wondering how great that is, that’s the most by a Browns QB in any quarter since at least 1991. And he’s the most of any player in the fourth quarter in any game this season.
Drew Lock hit the winning 29-yard TD pass to Jackson Smith-Nijiva with 28 seconds left in the game to defeat the Eagles on Monday night, capping a big week for the quarterback who came out of nowhere. Like Flacco, Lock also made a big splash in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks QB threw for more yards in the fourth quarter (112 yards) against the Eagles than he had in the first three quarters (96 yards).
With that in mind, let’s take a look at this week’s performance after Monday’s upset.
