NFL Week 15 grades: Seahawks earn ‘B’ for improbable Monday win over Eagles, Cowboys hit with an ‘F’

Welcome to the Week 15 grades!

This was a good week for quarterbacks who are trying to revive their career. In Cleveland, the Browns beat the Bears 20-17 after Joe Flacco mustered some fourth-quarter magic out of nowhere. With the Browns trailing 17-7 in the fourth, Flacco responded by throwing for 212 yards in the FOURTH QUARTER alone.

If you’re wondering how impressive that is: It’s the most by any Browns QB in any quarter since at least 1991. AND it’s the most by any player in the fourth quarter in any game this season. 

Drew Lock capped the big week for quarterbacks who came out of nowhere by beating the Eagles on Monday night with a game-winning 29-yard TD pass to Jaxson Smith-Njigba that came with just 28 seconds left in the game. Like Flacco, Lock had a huge fourth quarter. The Seahawks QB threw for more yards in the fourth (112) against the Eagles than he did in the first three quarters COMBINED (96).

With that in mind, let’s get to this week’s grades, starting with Monday’s upset.
