In this months Pro Football Weekly...

In December, When the weather gets nasty and the stress mounts, even the best QB's can struggle, In fact as you are about to find out, some of today's premier signal callers have. But there are plenty who rise to the occasion in the late stages of the year. And of our top 25 ranked QB's, nobody has done more so than Donovan Mcnabb.

It comes as a slight surprise that Mcnabb has the best December numbers among active QB's, especially since he plays in cold conditions. But the numbers dont lie. Under our ranking system, Mcnabb is ranked #1 in our list, In 25 December contests, He has thrown for over 40 TD passes (43 Td passes, 17 int's) and has run for four more touchdowns as well. And while many of his big December games came earlier in his career, He hasn't exactly slacked off lately, putting together some big late season outings.

Barely trailing Mcnabb, is Peyton Manning, with Cutler and Warner near the top. We love Drew Brees, and even though he never is at his best in December, he still top 10 on our list.

On the flipside, one guy that has failed to deliver is Tony Romo, in 13 December games, he has 14 TD's and 19 int's Ouch! Something about the end of the year football brings out the worst in Romo. Although better then Romo, the same can be said about Eli Manning and his 22-21 TD-INT ratio in his 23 December contests.
