Interesting Quarterback Power Rankings Heading Into Week 5

Last Week: Unranked 

Michael Penix had the offense rolling one week after getting shut out against the Carolina Panthers. His performance helped him grab the fifth spot in this week’s quarterback power rankings. 

Penix diced up the Washignton Commanders’ defense, completing 77% of his passes for 313 yards, 16 yards per completion, two touchdowns, and an interception. His two favorite targets, Drake London and Bijan Robinson, combined for 12 catches, 216 yards, and one score. 

2025 Stats: 62% completion, 949 yards, four touchdowns, three interceptions, and an 82.7 rating. 

4. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams 

Last Week: Unranked 

After a disappointing finish last week, the Los Angeles Rams bounced back with a 27-20 win over the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts. Matthew Stafford led the way, completing 29 of his 41 passes while throwing for 375 yards (Led Week) and three touchdowns. 

Stafford had a strong connection with Puka Nacua, who hauled in 13 catches for 170 yards and a touchdown. Davante Adams also reached the endzone from 10 yards out. Late in the fourth quarter, Stafford needed just one play to take the lead as he hit Tutu Atwell for an 88-yard game-winning touchdown.

2025 Stats: 67% completion, 1,110 yards, eight touchdowns, two interceptions, and a 106.1 rating. 

3. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

In the game of the year, Jordan Love put on a show against the Dallas Cowboys. Love completed 31 passes on 43 attempts for 337 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 118.1 rating. He was effective on the ground, running for 28 yards on three carries. 

Love dispersed the ball well, throwing to 10 different receivers. He found Romeo Doubs not once, not twice, but three times for a touchdown. In clutch time, Love led the Green Bay Packers down the field for two game-tying field goals, one at the end of the fourth and one in overtime, to secure a 40-40 tie. 

2025 Stats: 69% completion, 1,062 yards, eight touchdowns, one interception, and a 113 rating. 

2. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

Facing a potential 1-3 start to the season, Patrick Mahomes and company finally clicked on offense, routing the Baltimore Ravens 37-20, improving to 2-2 on the year.

On 37 passing attempts, Mahomes completed 25 balls for 270 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 124.8 rating, his highest rating since Week 18 of last year. He welcomed back Xavier Worthy by completing five passes for 83 yards to him. Four different receivers found the endzone- Hollywood Brown, Juju Smith-Schuster, Isaiah Pacheco, and Tyquan Thornton. 

2025 Stats: 61% completion, 1,069 yards, nine touchdowns, one interception, and a 94.2 rating. 

1. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

Jordan Love played exceptionally on Sunday Night Football, but the opposing quarterback, Dak Prescott, outdueled him against a superior defense. In the tie, Prescott completed 31-40 passes for 319 yards, three passing touchdowns, and a 124.9 rating. He capitalized on his only carry, rushing in a touchdown from two yards out. 

With CeeDee Lamb nursing an ankle injury, George Pickens delivered big time, hauling in eight passes for 134 yards and two scores. Tight end Jake Ferguson also came up big for Prescott, reeling in seven receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown. 

2025 Stats: 73% completion, 1,141 yards, seven touchdowns, three interceptions, and a 95.4 rating. 

End Of My Quarterback Rankings Rant

With monster Week 4 outings, five new quarterbacks joined the top five quarterback power rankings list. Prescott had the biggest performance, grabbing the top spot, followed by Mahomes, Love, Stafford, and Penix. Prescott will look to regain the top spot against the Jets, Mahomes squares off against the Jaguars, and Stafford faces the 49ers in Week 5. Love and Penix will hope to keep their spots as both are on a bye.
