There are only three weekends left with NFL football until next Fall and as the Playoffs heat up we are diving into the Divisional Round quarterback power rankings for all 8 QBs left. This was one of the most exciting Wild Card Weekends in recent history with 4 of the 6 games finishing as 1-score matchups and coming down to the final minutes.
Interestingly, the arguably best QB performance from Wild Card Weekend came from a quarterback who isn’t even on the Divisional Round Quarterback Power Rankings because his team got bounced. And if you missed the most recent NFL Quarterback Power Rankings from back in Week 17 you can check that out before/after reading on below.
The NFL Playoffs are where the men get separated from the boys. Quarterbacks can’t fake their way to a Super Bowl win regardless of how dominant their team’s defense might be. So with that said, let’s power rank the 8 remaining NFL Quarterbacks ahead of the 2026 NFL Playoffs Divisional Round.
Coming in at #8 in the NFL Divisional Round Quarterback Power Rankings is Brock Purdy. He was injured for a large chunk of the regular season and only started 9 games.
In those 9 games, Purdy threw for 2,167 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. San Francisco eked their way into the Playoffs finishing 3rd in the NFC West at 12-5, tied in record with the Rams but 3rd in the tie breaker.
Brock Purdy is a fantastic franchise QB for the Niners. When he’s on point he is a force to be reckoned with. But turnovers were a factor again on Wild Card Weekend when Purdy threw 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, tacking on 262 passing yards, a fumble, and 24 rushing yards all while losing one of his top offensive targets (George Kittle) to a torn ACL.
San Francisco will now travel to Seattle to face division rival Seattle. The Niners lost to Seattle 13-3 to finish off the regular season on January 3rd but beat the Seahawks 17-13 on the road back on September 7th.
The Texans dominated Pittsburgh on Monday night to advance to the 2026 NFL Playoffs Divisional Round where C.J. Stroud and the rest of Houston will face the #2 seed New England Patriots. Stroud started most of the season (14 games) but still faced injuries at times though he seems to be full healthy at the moment.
The former Ohio State Buckeye finished the regular season with 3,041 passing yard (19th overall), 19 passing touchdowns, and 8 interceptions. Against the Steelers, C.J. threw for 250 yards (the over hit), 1 touchdown, and 1 interception.
Where things got EXTREMELY UGLY were the fumbles. C.J. Stroud fumbled the ball 5 times (2 lost, 3 recovered). It is going to haunt those Steelers players’ nightmares that they lost by 24 points to a QB who...
