20 PFF stats to know entering Week 14 of the 2019 NFL regular season (8. MATTHEW STAFFORD’S FOURTH-QUARTER PROWESS STILL REIGNS SUPREME: Although he’s missed the past four weeks of action, Stafford is still the king of the fourth quarter in 2019. His 10 big-time throws are tied for first with Carson Wentz — and even then, Wentz has nine turnover-worthy plays in the final 15 minutes compared to just one for Stafford. As a result, Stafford’s 88.4 passing grade in the fourth quarter ranks first among quarterbacks. With the Lions now eliminated from playoff contention, it remains to be seen if Stafford will be thrust back into action.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pff-stats-to-know-week-14-2019
QB rankings, 1-32: Josh Allen, Ryan Tannehill surge (31. Blough: Filice: In the first two drives of Blough's NFL career last Thursday, the 24-year-old undrafted rookie lived the dream. Blough's opening two possessions: 4 of 6, 131 yds, 2 TD, 0 INT, 149.3 passer rating. But after those 11 minutes in heaven, which played out before a national television audience gleefully preparing to feast, the QB's performance over the game's remaining 49 minutes was positively tryptophanic. Blough's remaining nine possessions: 18 of 32, 149 yds, 0 TD, 1 INT, 55.3 passer rating. I do not slice up the game in this manner as a means of bullying the new kid. I swear. This guy -- who, by the way, was Cleveland's fourth-string QB in training camp four months ago -- made some fine throws in a Thanksgiving start against a stout Bears defense. (In Drive No. 2, for example, he converted a third-and-9 at midfield by climbing the pocket, dodging a stunting Khalil Mack and connecting with Kenny Golladay for a chunk gain.) But I do believe Darrell Bevell deserves an extra helping of credit here. In his first year as Detroit's offensive coordinator, Bevell's game-planning has been one of the few bright spots in another forgettable Lions season. And Sunday's opening script, which provided outrageously open receivers on both touchdown passes, obviously enhanced Blough's early performance.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001084167/article/qb-index-week-14-lamar-jackson-still-no-1-josh-allen-surging

NFL coach hot seat tiers: Cowboys' Jason Garrett, Browns' Freddie Kitchens could be fired next (NFL coaching seats getting warm - 6. Matt Patricia, Lions. He likely will be retained in 2020 even though his defense has been atrocious despite the big investments (Trey Flowers, Justin Coleman) that unit received in the offseason. The key offensive injuries to Matthew Stafford and Kerryon Johnson probably give Patricia a pass into Year 3.): https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-coaches-hot-seats-cowboys-jason-garrett-browns-freddie-kitchens-fired/1px28x02va61f1ewstuj3xk3yw
