RSS Feed2016 Week 4 Passing Statistics
By Chris Malumphy
All of the quarterbacks with game QB ratings of 94.0 or high won during Week 4 of the 2016 NFL season. Conversely, all but two of the quarterbacks with game QB ratings of less than 94.0 lost. The only two exceptions were the Saints' Drew Brees (74.7) due to the incomprehensible meltdown during the final minutes of the San Diego Chargers and the Texans' Brock Osweiler (82.5) who actually outplayed his opposing quarterback Marcus Mariota (54.1).
Note that by cutting down on his interceptions from six in Week 3 to three in Week 4, the Jets' Ryan Fitzgerald jumped his game QB ratings from 18.2 to 53.1 albeit with yet another loss. With nine interceptions in the past two games, the Jets might want to consider looking towards the wealth of other quarterbacks they currently control: Geno Smith, Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenburg. Or given that talent, perhaps not.
The Broncos' Trevor Siemian continues to play surprisingly well, and when he went out with injury, rookie Paxton Lynch didn't do too badly either. Rookie Cody Kessler completed 70 percent of his passes and helped keep the Browns in the game against Washington until Cleveland imploded with turnovers on three consecutive drives, but his meager 5.6 yards per attempt was worse than any quarterback not named Jameis Winston (5.1) or Drew Stanton (3.4) last week.
