NFC North quarterback power rankings Week 11: Jordan Love has work to do

The NFC North is coming off one of its uglier weeks of football.

While the Lions and Vikings earned wins, the quarterback play was far from ideal and beneath the standard that the NFC North has set throughout the 2024 season.

How does it shake up our quarterback power rankings with Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers coming off their bye week?

NFC North quarterback rankings: Jordan Love has chance to bounce back after bye week

4. Jordan Love, Packers

It has been my practice to put the quarterback who did not play for the week in the last spot coming out of the bye week. There was some thought to not do this, given how bad some of the other guys around the division were last weekend. To avoid bias, I will continue with what I did for the other teams in the NFC North. Jordan Love is finally healthy and has practiced in full this week.

Critics of Love will want him to reduce the interceptions, as he is currently going into this week's game with 10, which is tied for the league lead. However, despite missing 2.5 games, he is in the top 10 in touchdowns with 15 on the season. The Packers are at a healthy 6-3 and well on their way to a potential return trip to the postseason.

3. Caleb Williams, Bears

The shine has started to wear off of Caleb Williams, as the Bears have lost three straight and are below .500 for the first time this season. The Bears were held without a touchdown for the second straight game, losing to the Patriots 19-3. Williams went 16-of-30 for 120 yards and was sacked nine times for 51 yards.

Williams was pedestrian once again, and there have been rumblings of benching him for second-year player Tyson Bagent. Instead, Chicago opted to fire offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. The seat under Matt Eberflus is starting to heat up, and the Bears are once again knocking on the door of hiring another coach who would be stuck with an inherited quarterback.

2. Sam Darnold, Vikings

Things were not much better for the Minnesota Vikings, who traveled to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars. Darnold was far from perfect, completing 24 of 38 passes for 241 yards and three interceptions.

Minnesota survived a scare to defeat the Mac Jones-led Jaguars without the benefit of a touchdown. Darnold's three interceptions put him in a tie for the league lead with 10 picks. The Vikings will look to keep the win streak rolling as they face another AFC South opponent this weekend, the Tennessee Titans.

1. Jared Goff, Lions

Jared Goff checks in at the top, almost by default. The Lions pulled off a comeback win against the Texans despite Jared Goff completing just 15 of 30 passes for 240 yards, two touchdowns, and five interceptions. Goff did remain upright, not taking a sack in the contest.

It was an ugly week for NFC North QBs this weekend, and Goff gets the top spot as the only passer to throw for a touchdown in Week 10 across the division. The five interceptions against Houston were more than he had thrown all season combined.
