NFL QB Rankings Week 13: Mac Jones impresses again while Lamar Jackson's stock tumbles

Even more important than cumulative statistics when ranking quarterbacks in the NFL is their efficiency. It's more important to make the most out of the given opportunities than it is to just compile numbers. Statistics can sometimes be empty, but not for the top quarterbacks in the NFL this year.

Rookie quarterback Mac Jones continued his impressive campaign as he improves every week. He ranks third in the NFL in completion percentage and is getting closer to the top five in the overall quarterback rankings. Lamar Jackson has gone in the other direction as his numbers have dipped in recent weeks. He has thrown seven interceptions in his last three games.

NFL QB Power Rankings: Top 3

Here are the top-ranked quarterbacks entering Week 13 of the 2021 NFL season.

#3 - Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Last week: #2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady

Tom Brady is the current favorite to win the NFL MVP award but ranks third in the quarterback rankings. He leads the NFL with 30 touchdown passes while also ranking second in passing yards. He has dropped a bit in passer rating and QBR recently but remains in the top six in both categories.

The reason for the slight dip in rankings for Tom Brady is his recent abundance of interceptions. He has uncharacteristically thrown six interceptions in his last four games. That's a big difference from the the three interceptions he threw in his first seven games of the 2021 NFL season.

#2 - Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

Last week: #1

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray dropped out of the top spot in the quarterback rankings. The main reason is due to inactivity. He hasn't played in the Cardinals' last three games due to an injury but is expected back in Week 13. He still leads the entire NFL in completion percentage, yards per completion and passer rating while remaining in the top five in QBR.

#1 - Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Last week: #4

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers has been surging up the quarterback rankings in recent weeks and now sits at the very top of the list. He's always been an efficient quarterback and this season has been no different. He has thrown an incredible 23 touchdown passes against just four interceptions. He currently ranks second in passer rating and third in QBR.
