What happened: Drew Lock ranks first among NFL passers with a 127.3 passer rating among quarterbacks with at least 50 dropbacks this season, according to Pro Football Focus tracking. Lamar Jackson follows at 118.4, with Trevor Lawrence at 112.6, Joe Burrow at 111.6, and Brock Purdy rounding out the top five at 110.1. Lock, who tossed three touchdowns in a Week 2 start, has completed 35 of 48 passes for 422 yards with four touchdowns in 2026 through two games.

Why it matters: Lock reached the efficiency threshold across a limited two-game sample, contrasting with the volume required of full-time starters. Jackson ranks second but is sidelined after five games, while Burrow and Purdy have maintained triple-digit passer ratings through seven starts apiece.

What to watch: Lock remains listed as questionable with an elbow injury. Burrow and Purdy each look to sustain top-five efficiency marks entering Week 10.
