PFF: 2 Former NC State QB’s Grade in Top 10 in NFL For 2nd Straight Week

After Week 15, two former NC State Quarterbacks grade out in the Top-10 in the NFL according to ProFootballFocus for the 2nd straight week.

Former Wolfpack QB Russell Wilson ranks 4th.

Even after struggling last week, Philip Rivers still ranks in the Top 10 after 15 weeks, coming in at #9.

After four weeks of playing his best football, Rivers didn’t have the same kind of success at Kansas City in Week 15. From the start, his accuracy and ball placement were clearly not at the same level it had been in recent weeks, along with his decision-making under pressure. Coming in to the game, Rivers had been making solid decisions under pressure, where a season ago he led the NFL in interceptions under duress at 11. This week, he doubled his season total of interceptions under pressure to four, firing a couple of ill-advised throws leading to turnovers. The Chiefs did a good job of limiting the big plays down the field the Chargers have had success with lately, with Rivers finishing 0-of-6 with two picks on throws traveling 20-plus yards. (PFF)
