What happened: Jordan Love earned the top NFL passing grade under pressure in Week 9, posting a 97.5 mark on at least 15 qualifying attempts. C.J. Stroud ranked second with a 93.3 grade, while Joe Burrow took third at 86.3. Shedeur Sanders recorded a 71.5 grade, edging Bryce Young at 70.1 to round out the top five.
Why it matters: Love has completed 215 of 341 passes for 2,618 yards and 19 touchdowns through nine games in 2026, maintaining efficiency against aggressive pass rushes. High grades under pressure highlight rapid processing against blitz-heavy packages as defenses tighten midseason schemes.
