Total QBR is a quarterback rating that takes into account all of a quarterback's contributions (passing, rushing, sacks, fumbles, penalties) to his team's scoring and winning and summarizes them into one number on a 0-100 scale, on which 50 is average.
Total QBR
ESPN introduces Total QBR:
Matt Moore had the highest Total QBR of Week 11 with a spectacular 98.0 on Sunday against the Bills, making some big plays to give the Dolphins an early lead and then coasting to victory. Meanwhile, Philip Rivers and Jay Cutler had a great QB duel out in Chicago, becoming the fourth pair of starting QBs to each post a 90+ Total QBR in the same game since 2008.
Bringing up the rear this week was the Cardinals' John Skelton, who had an awful Total QBR of 0.9 before being benched in San Francisco.
Below is the full breakdown of Total QBR and its component statistics for all NFL QBs with a minimum of 10 action plays in Week 11.
