The NFL’s Week 12 has arrived, bringing with it the intensifying drama of playoff rivalry and a clearer image of which groups are real contenders.

As groups discover their rhythm or falter, the league’s quarterbacks are below the microscope like by no means earlier than.

Patrick Peterson, the previous NFL cornerback who now affords his insights on FS1, not too long ago stirred up controversy together with his high 5 quarterback rankings.

His checklist raised eyebrows not for who made it, however for who didn’t.

Peterson ranked Jared Goff on the high, adopted by Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Jalen Hurts – a lineup that notably excluded Kansas Metropolis’s Patrick Mahomes.

The omission of Mahomes sparked speedy debate on FS1’s SPEAK, the place Peterson defended his controversial take.

“He’s not playing his best ball this year bro. I know they don’t gonna like that and that’s why I did it. I got to stir the pot baby,”

Peterson defined, whereas his co-hosts Pleasure Taylor, Paul Pierce, and Keyshawn Johnson pushed again in opposition to Mahomes’ exclusion.

Peterson’s evaluation isn’t completely with out benefit. Mahomes’ efficiency by means of 10 video games reveals a extra susceptible quarterback than we’re used to seeing: a 69.5% completion price, 2,404 passing yards, and a regarding 11 interceptions regardless of throwing for 15 touchdowns.

His dashing recreation has added modest contributions, with 167 yards and one landing on the bottom.

The previous two weeks have uncovered some cracks in Kansas Metropolis’s offensive armor.

In opposition to efficient move rushes, Mahomes has discovered himself scrambling greater than traditional, pressured to depend on fast completions to maintain drives alive.

Even his trademark shovel move close to the purpose line hasn’t offered the standard spark. Whereas Mahomes remained a formidable presence for many video games, the Payments’ protection managed one thing uncommon – they made the Chiefs’ celebrity look virtually strange.
