What happened: Bleacher Report published Week 3 quarterback grades for the 2026 regular season. Cousins and Keenum topped the six-player set with As, followed by Penix at A- and Allen at C-. Love drew a D and Maye an F.
Why it matters: Week 3 is the first checkpoint where 2026 starting jobs face sustained scrutiny. That puts added focus on 2024 first-rounders Penix and Maye as teams sort Week 4 plans.

In 2025 with the Packers, Love completed 291 of 439 passes for 3,381 yards with 23 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 15 games. In 2025 with the Falcons, Cousins completed 166 of 269 passes for 1,721 yards with 10 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in 10 games.
What to watch: Week 4 will show whether the A grades hold and the D and F grades rebound.
