Week 10 of the 2023 NFL season is in the books, and the Ravens are set to begin preparation for a Thursday night showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals.

With the first half of the season completed, the postseason hierarchy is starting to take shape, along with the chase for specific individual awards.

Lamar Jackson is an MVP candidate, and one of the actual measuring sticks will be where he lands in Total QBR entering the playoffs.

When evaluating quarterback play, a trusted metric is ESPN’s Total QBR rating, which does more than take into account statistics.

According to ESPN, Adjusted Total Quarterback Rating (QBR) “values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses.”

So where do Jackson and other NFL quarterbacks, including the Cowboys’ Dak Prescott, Bills’ Josh Allen, Eagles’ Jalen Hurts, and Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, rank following Week 11 of the 2023 NFL season?

Here’s how the qualifying NFL quarterbacks stack up:
