Week 10 of the 2023 NFL season is in the books, and the Eagles are set to begin preparation for Monday night showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. With the first half of the season completed, the postseason hierarchy is starting to take shape, along with the chase for specific individual awards. Jalen Hurts is an MVP candidate, and one of the actual measuring sticks will be where he lands in Total QBR entering the playoffs.
When evaluating quarterback play, a trusted metric is ESPN’s Total QBR rating, which does more than take into account statistics. According to ESPN, Adjusted Total Quarterback Rating (QBR) “values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses.”
