5- Ryan Mallett, Ravens (last week: NR)
Yes, THAT Ryan Mallett. The same guy who was cut from Houston for once waking up late, rallied the Baltimore Ravens to a win over their biggest rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, dealing them a huge blow to their playoff chances in the process.
4- Matt Ryan, Falcons (last week: NR)
Despite a tough season, the Falcons know that they are the one, in 14 and 1 for the Carolina Panthers. Ryan finished 23 of 30 for 306 yards with a touchdown in a 20-13 win.
3- Case Keenum, Rams (last week: NR)
Case Keenum wasn’t pretty, but he did something very few QBs do in Seattle- WIN. Keenum finished 14 of 23 for 103 yards and fired a 28 yard touchdown pass, burning Richard Sherman to put the Rams up 16-0. They would go on to hold off the Seahawks 23-17.
2- Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jets (last week: NR)
The Fitz fired for three scores, including the game winner in overtime as the Jets beat the Patriots 26-20. With the win, the Jets now control their own destiny to the playoffs.
1- Kirk Cousins, Redskins (last week: 4)
Kirk Cousins led the Redskins to the NFC East Division title after tossing for four touchdowns in a 38-24 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Like his team, Cousins takes the top spot in Week 16.
