"Through five weeks of the 2025 NFL regular season, the AFC North and its quarterback landscape does not resemble what it looked like when the season opened on Sept. 7. As of Friday, three of the four teams are expected to start a different QB than they did in Week 1. A quick recap for those who might have missed the churn at the most important position:"
"Rodgers hasn't been the only QB in the division to struggle. In fact, AFC North QBs have posted a 44.4 Total QBR, by the worst of any division. QBs in the division have also turned the ball over 29 times (most of any division) and had 21 interceptions (most of any division). This isn't how it was supposed to play out when the season started with two-time MVP Jackson in Baltimore and Burrow, who finished fourth for MVP last year, in Cincinnati."
Through five weeks of the 2025 season, three of four AFC North teams are expected to start different quarterbacks than in Week 1. The division's quarterbacks have a 44.4 Total QBR, the lowest of any division, with 29 turnovers and 21 interceptions. Lamar Jackson threw 10 touchdowns and one interception while leading a high-scoring Ravens offense before injuring his hamstring; Cooper Rush's first start produced 179 yards and three interceptions. Jackson's 39-11 (.780) record in the final three regular-season months since 2018 ranks second in the NFL. Cincinnati's Joe Burrow lacks a clear return timetable, and the Bengals acquired Ryan Flacco to try to secure wins in his absence. Baltimore's postseason probability is projected at 40.3%.
