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

Welcome to Week 15 grades!

This was a good week for quarterbacks trying to revive their careers. In Cleveland, the Browns beat the Bears 20-17 after Joe Flacco put together some fourth-quarter magic out of nowhere. With the Browns trailing 17-7 in the fourth quarter, 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. That’s the most by any player in the fourth quarter in any game this season.

Drew Lock capped off a big week for the quarterbacks who came out of nowhere in their win over 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 half (112) against the Eagles than he did in the first three quarters combined (96).

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