Clutch Factor QB Power Rankings 2025: Who Are the Best QBs Entering Week 12?
Bo Nix was at it again last week, lodging another comeback and helping him along to fourth place in my Clutch Factor QB power rankings.
However, he'll need to do more to knock Matthew Stafford off his throne, as he clocks in as the league's most clutch QB for the second consecutive week. Despite recent struggles, Daniel Jones shows near the top of the list, while Drake Maye rounds out the top three. Coming into the week, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson were also on the rise, but our Week 12 NFL predictions accurately predicted a rough day for Allen, who was battered in a loss on Thursday.

🏅 Best clutch performances last week
🦬 Josh Allen enjoyed historic performance against Buccaneers
Allen dropped to 11th place in these Clutch Factor power rankings a few weeks ago but has since returned to the top five after a historic performance at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He became the only player to score six TDs (three rushing and three passing) twice. He also completed his second fourth-quarter comeback of the season.
And he leads the NFL with 28 TDs.
Allen added 317 passing yards and 40 rushing yards to round out an outstanding day, showcasing why he's the reigning MVP.
Speaking of which, the 29-year-old is receiving the third-shortest MVP odds behind two quarterbacks ahead of him in these power rankings, Maye and Stafford.
🐎 Bo Nix orchestrates another 4th-quarter comeback
Regardless of how you view Bo Nix, one thing is assured. The man is clutch, with a capital C. Of course, it helps having one of the best defenses to ensure you're within striking distance late, but Nix's record speaks for itself.
The sophomore QB has five fourth-quarter comebacks this season, tied for the most with Caleb Williams. One was against the elite Houston Texans defense, one occurred in Philly versus the defending Super Bowl champions, and his latest Houdini act came against Mr. Clutch himself, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
His ability to overturn deficits at the death is not just a 2025 phenomenon, either, as Nix secured three fourth-quarter comebacks in his rookie season. That makes it eight fourth-quarter comebacks in his first 19 wins and 28 starts.
🐾 Bryce Young set career mark in comeback win over Falcons
Bryce Young had his best day as a passer, accumulating 448 yards and three TDs. That's 110 more yards than his previous best. In doing so, Young and his Carolina Panthers overturned a 21-10 halftime deficit in Atlanta.
The Panthers outscored the Falcons 20-6 in the second half and in overtime, securing their fifth win in six games. It also marked Young's third fourth-quarter comeback of the season as he continually proves naysayers wrong.
He's up to 15th in the power rankings, a six-spot improvement from last week.
