10 Worst QB Performances From Week 13, Including Drew Lock and Kirk Cousins

Kirk Cousins - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Quincy Milton ranks the 10 worst quarterback performances for Week 13 of the 2024 season. Drew Lock, Kirk Cousins, and others make the list of 10 underperformers.

Another week in the NFL brought more poor quarterback performances. We were treated to excellent play on Thanksgiving from most quarterbacks while Drew Lock of the Giants stood out as a dark horse. The weekend brought cold temperatures and several players who were deserving of this list.

Multiple players, including Baker Mayfield and Kirk Cousins, threw for multiple interceptions. It is tough to turn the ball over multiple times and not end up on this list. At this point, players like Cousins are costing wins for his team.

The playoff battles are shoring up around the NFL. Each contending team's signal-caller will dictate their ability to make a run. Let's dive in and see who was a problem for their team in Week 14.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

10. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

Jalen Hurts only ended up on this list in Week 13 because he was limited to 11-of-19 passing for 118 yards and no passing touchdowns. His performance came in a win over the Ravens. Hurts was not terrible by any means, but his performance was subpar relative to other players throughout the week.

Hurts and the Eagles are sitting in a great spot atop the NFC East. Look for Hurts to bounce back in a big way in Week 14 when the Eagles meet the Panthers.

 

9. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers

Justin Herbert was solid yet underwhelming in Week 13. He did not throw any touchdowns and he took five sacks in a defensive slugfest with the Falcons. Herbert was limited to 147 passing yards and he is lucky that his counterpart on the Falcons, Kirk Cousins, threw four interceptions.

Still, Herbert's efforts came in a win. The Chargers have won a handful of games in this fashion this year, so it comes as no surprise. Herbert was also still efficient in his performance as well. There is nothing to worry about with this performance.

 

8. Will Levis, Tennessee Titans

Will Levis was not too bad in Week 13. He primarily falls on this list because he completed less than 50% of his passes. Levis struggled against a Commanders defense that has been much improved this season.

Despite the accuracy issues this week, Levis continues to be far less turnover-prone in recent weeks. If he can keep up that play, he will certainly not continue to end up on this list.

 

7.  Derek Carr, New Orleans Saints

Derek Carr did not do enough in Week 13 to earn the Saints a win over the Rams. He was limited to 184 yards passing and one touchdown. He was turnover-free, but ultimately, wins and losses are what count in the NFL.

Carr and the Saints had a chance to step fully into NFC South contention with a win. However, they now look like a middling franchise with no direction. Time will tell if Carr will even be the Saints quarterback next season.

 

6. Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

Kyler Murray played poorly in a pivotal game against the Minnesota Vikings. With a chance to stay in lockstep with the Seahawks for the lead in the NFC West, Murray threw two interceptions, and the Cardinals lost by one.

Murray has been very good at times this season, but he has also had games in which he did not play like a franchise quarterback. The Cardinals will need him to find his consistency if they are going to have any chance at making a playoff run.

 

5. Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield was subpar in Week 13 against the Panthers. However, he managed to lead the Buccaneers to a win over the Panthers in overtime. The win puts Tampa Bay in a great position within the NFC South.

A two-interception performance nearly cost the Bucs the contest. It took a couple of lucky breaks, including a Chuba Hubbard fumble in overtime, for the Buccaneers to win. Mayfield will need to find his early season form to guide the Buccaneers moving forward.

 

4. Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets

Aaron Rodgers was under duress for much of Sunday’s game against the Seahawks. That was reflected in his completion percentage, as he went 21-of-39 passing.

Rodgers only managed 185 passing yards. He threw two first-half touchdowns but was otherwise unable to get the Jets to move the ball and finish drives. The Seahawks defense made repeated stops that halted any of the Jets' chances of winning this game.

 

3. Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts

Anthony Richardson only completed 50% of his passes and he threw two interceptions, but he made enough plays to guide the Colts to victory. The Richardson experience continues to mean that the Colts will ride the highs and lows of his play.

Despite the continued accuracy issues, Richardson continues to display excellent playmaking ability. In the end, wins are the only thing that matters in the NFL, and the Colts accomplished that Sunday.

 

2. Drew Lock, New York Giants

Drew Lock took over as the Giants starting quarterback on Thanksgiving with Tommy DeVito out due to injury. He did not do much with his opportunities, only throwing for 178 yards and an interception.

Lock managed a rushing touchdown, but he proved that the Giants’ problems run much deeper than the quarterback position. The Giants lost 27-20 to the rival Dallas Cowboys.

 

1. Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons

Throwing four interceptions is a sure way to land on this list. On a day on which the Falcons defense only allowed 17 points, Kirk Cousins’ interceptions were a constant thorn in the Falcons’ side.

Cousins has been relatively turnover-prone all season. His turnovers have cost the Falcons at least two wins at this point. They need him to play at a much higher level to have any chance of competing in the NFC.
