The Clutch Factor power rankings below are graded out of 100 and are based on each quarterback's cumulative performances throughout the season.

Injured QBs do not get penalized for being on the treatment table and are graded based on their time on the field. However, they must play at least 50% of the games to appear on the leaderboard. For last year's rankings and clutch ratings methodology, see our initial NFL clutch ratings.

🦅 Jalen Hurts leads Eagles to dramatic comeback victory

Welcome to the party, Jalen.

For the first time this season, Hurts put the Eagles on his broad shoulders. He came out of the tunnel for the second half hellbent on flipping the script against the Los Angeles Rams. He threw his first three TD passes of the season in the third and fourth quarters, spearheading an improbable comeback in which the Eagles overturned a 26-9 deficit.  

It was a resounding reminder of Hurts' ability to be the man when called upon. With that victory and cover, which was to the detriment of my against-the-spread picks, Hurts improved to an invincible 17-0 in his last 17 starts, including last season's Super Bowl run. 

It doesn't get any more clutch.

⚡️ Justin Herbert goes viral for performance vs. Broncos

The poster child of the NFL through three weeks, Justin Herbert broke the internet after his outlandish TD pass late in the fourth quarter against the Broncos to erase the Chargers' deficit.

He completed his first fourth-quarter comeback and game-winning drive of the season while ascending the MVP odds leaderboard, nestling in behind front-runners Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.

Herbert accomplished the fourth-quarter comeback in some of the most adverse conditions, overcoming protection issues with his injury-riddled offensive line. He has converted 43 first downs through three weeks, tied for the most. 

Herbert leads the league in passing yards (860) and is the fourth-most efficient in the red zone. 

⛵️ Baker Mayfield completes third straight fourth-quarter comeback 

It's almost as if Baker Mayfield manipulates proceedings to set himself up for a last-gasp game-winning drive and comeback victory. Thanks to a wild and unlikely few minutes, the New York Jets found themselves in the lead late in the fourth quarter despite being thoroughly outplayed throughout.

That turn of events would have unnerved most quarterbacks, but not the unflappable Buccaneers' signal caller.

Mayfield again led his team downfield, this time without his top two receivers, to secure his third comeback win in as many games to start the season. 

He hasn't turned the ball over once and is among the top 10 in his ability to deal with pressure, according to PFF. With the rash of injuries impacting his offensive line, he's had to be.
